Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

Stephen Miller says, with a straight face, that Trump has "demanded that all federal workers and all law enforcement cease any effort to intimidate the rights of Americans or to police their speech." You cannot make this up.

I don't want this, at all...but I'm also under the impression that a rough recession might be the only thing that will potentially cause folks to turn on Trump. I say might because we all went through covid in 2020 and yet the US still re-elected this syphilitic garbage can.

And it's been said before that Trump is an ignorant person's idea of what a successful businessman is like. These are all "surface" types of humans...scratch them, even lightly, and there's nothing underneath, nothing of substance. They're made out of paper.

Trump’s attack on the Bonneville Power Administration is just another example of his reckless disregard for Oregon workers and our clean energy future. Layoffs and resignations at BPA aren’t just numbers—they’re people, families, and the backbone of our region’s power grid.

Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists. There are a LOT of people in this country who just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another. And we absolutely can reach them.

Most Americans have no idea that there is no way back to pre-inauguration governance via online posts, TV hits, lawsuits and voting in maybe-free, maybe not-so-free elections. That ship has sailed.

Imo it's bad that the US government now operates as a crudely extractive mercantile state because the dumbest people on earth think doing so is macho, and the entirely predictable consequence of this will be a mass rearmament in countries already facing anaemic growth and fraying social contracts.

I lowkey think that Dems are so bad at persuasion because they’re all tied up with truth and factchecking instead of doing some good, god’s honest propaganda.

ICE stopped a Black man jogging in West Roxbury, a very diverse neighborhood in Boston. Just him trying to be healthy in a society that is actively trying to kill him, and they accosted him. Free movement has never been a given for many but it's getting worse. youtu.be/HYqmQAocFGc?...
