The BBC taking up the task of Sanewashing Trump to a nation of Brits. "Decode" The Emperor has no clothes, he's just not very smart and says weird, creepy things like a psychopathic toddler would. That's the guy a third of Americans chose to be their […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Live your life so you can flee your country then drink heavily and then ask famous people for help.

I gotta say it and forgive me but read below and weep. It’s all #kleptocracy folks. The #russkie #plutocrat model. I’m not a great fan of #verizon , but least it had standards and controls, unlike #starlink Fucking #nazi #scum #boycottwapo #boycottamazon #boycottusa #boycottmusk […]

Nice piece from Wonkette arguing for what many of us have, some action from Democrats or other opposition Basically we’re screwed #boycottusa #boycottnazi https://www.wonkette.com/p/shut-up-james-carville

Just an anecdote. My 2 sisters and I remember November, 1957 to November, 1958 as the year of terror. This was before MMR and Chickenpox vaccines. Starting around Thanksgiving, 1957, on a trip from Philadelphia to Boston to visit great grandparents, the kids got measles in sequence. Back home […]

Vecka 12 är det köpbojkott hos de stora livsmedelskedjorna. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/1M...

👍🏻 Via Angry Staffer: Consumer confidence down. Unemployment up. Iran has enough highly enriched uranium to make 6 nuclear warheads. Are we great again yet?

I’m not sure what’s funnier Trump supporters losing $12 billion in the latest rugpull / collapse Or all the right wing rulers around the world pulling the same shit. Looking at you, Argentina

During COVID, the American Airlines received 100 billion from the US government in loans, direct payments, subsidies to contractors, etc. AA was not to layoff anyone, but laid off 30% of its workforce. #boycottusa […]

Rubio's silence yesterday when Elon falsely claimed they had resumed Ebola prevention matters: bc DOJ has claimed that Rubio personally approved of every freeze/termination/continuation.

Andrew Tate has been allowed to fly out of Romania after pressure from the US. Nothing matters.

The correct response to this is for all genuine news organizations to abandon direct coverage of the Trump white house

This is it and you know it. Don't be fooled by the charm of billionaires.

I’m genetically and ethnically pretty White with the big ‘W.’ Virtually all ancestors came from a 500 mile radius of what was once Doggerland, so what I say can’t be racist. It might be wrong, but not racist or ethnicist or whateverist. So my hypothesis is that White folk go nuts about every […]

Because AI companies don’t respect copyright law and just scrape and steal everything online, there’s a new use case - accessing temporarily publicly exposed data, forever. Victims in this one include Microsoft itself […] [Original post on cyberplace.social]

Given US’ and Trumps’s history of honoring contracts and treaties, anyone else think that Ukraine just might have been better off being part of Russia? As Latina America and Japan show, once the US and investors get in, they never leave and do irreparable damage. And yeah, this is 50% snark […]

GET READY: This Friday is the BUY NOTHING day of protest. We are millions. Let's demonstrate OUR economic power, simply by buying nothing. No big chain stores, big boxes, no Amazon, no online shopping. You can shop on Saturday starting at 12:01 in the morning. If you have to shop, buy local […]

Tesla had to close their Seattle location due to protests this weekend, more planned next weekend, per Electrek. https://electrek.co/2025/02/24/tesla-protests-gain-momentu-while-the-hate-is-spreading-tesla-owners/ #tesla #protests #swasticar #nazi

I don’t think Four Eyes will work as a brand name.

#Tesla down 8% overnight. Has punched straight through previous support. Down 37% from the peak. Make it hurt, people. Don't buy a #Swastikar

It has been one of the worst weeks I have seen in my entire career for cybersecurity jobs in America. Between government cuts of normally stable roles in defense to entry and mid tier cuts in large corporations, you need to check in with your networks and share any postings you have with them.

You always felt kind of sad when walking past an overgrown, sometimes half-buried railway line. So much work went into connecting communities and providing a network of low-cost transport, that you feel a rip in your heart over your grandparents act of letting the vines of connection on wither […]

No one needs a billion dollars. At that point, it's not wealth, it's power hoarded at the expense of others. While millions struggle for basics, and there are children starving, a handful sit on fortunes they’ll never spend. That’s not success, it’s a moral failure.

Never thought I'd see the day when the United States is a coin flip away from allying with Russia and North Korea in an illegal invasion of another country. Might be time for all ranks of all US services to re-familiarize themselves with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the US […]

New #Tesla Model Y updates are slated to start delivery in March. You can easily spot these new units because they will have an always-on light bar across the front, just like the Cybertruck. At night, you can spot them by the red light bar across the back […] [Original post on sfba.social]

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

The German Federal Foreign Office's USA travel advisory now has warnings for trans folks that they might be denied entry. Pregnant people might not get life-saving healthcare. No worries, let's continue planning "global" "community" events there. After all, cis-het white men are still […]

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The #uberwealthy in the US are trying to reduce disability payments to veterans, just as Nixon did after the American genocide in SE Asia (aka #VN war). Here’re some tips - don’t start any evil wars as in VN, Panama, Iraq, Libya, all over Africa. Also, reduce the number of bases in other […]

Great little story here that indicates altruistic behavior isn’t just a human trait, but a generic mammalian one. In fact, it’s also on display in birds. Makes one wonder. #boycottusa #boycottnazi #boycottafd #boycottisrael […]

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story […]
