Someone finally put it into words

submitted 26 days ago • 54 comments

It’s natural to feel scared or guilty or ashamed, that’s your soul telling you to stay alive and do the right thing. Trump and Musk are moving fast and life will get harder that’s a fact. However, through difficult and terrifying times the best in all of us can shine. Do what you can, don’t give up.

If only there was a word for when an unelected oligarch moves quickly to take over control of the government. The legacy media is failing us. Support independent media. www.democracydocket.com

Oh, no. Not a formal resolution.

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Anybody acting like TikTok going offline isn’t a disaster for Democrats is deeply unserious. Most political issues never touch people’s daily lives—but 170 million Americans just had their favorite social media platform taken away from them. And Trump will position himself as the savior. JFC.

If people knew how often health corporations overcharged taxpayers, their heads would spin. I worked on one case where they were gouging active duty service members by overcharging for breast pumps. Just one of thousands of examples media.defense.gov/2023/Jul/31/...

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

The Democratic party will continue to lose far, far into the future because their clueless 70+ members are never going to get out of the way until they pass away. They do not care about winning. They only care about insider trading and enriching themselves.

85% of Democratic voters support Medicare for All. Yet, it’s not a part of the official DNC platform.

Supreme Court 18-year term limit bill should be just the beginning: — 13 justices — 7 clerks per justice — single 18-year term — binding code of ethics with punishments all the way up to impeachment — full investigation of corrupt gifts to Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, et al.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Please remember there are billionaires spending money on outrage media to make you mad at federal civil servants instead of the Supreme Court they bought. Please save your outrage for the actual fascists.

When only one party deals in facts, facts start to sound political.

CNN made the choice 8 years ago to cover politics like entertainment in order to increase its own profits. So it’s only fitting that that short-sighted, greedy and stupid decision has led to CNN’s downfall. Good fucking riddance.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Remember, it’s okay for radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers. But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber. NO NO NO NOT FAIR! 😠 😭
