as someone who’s worked in the service industry, every job ive had at a small business has been more exploitative and abusive than the ones at corporate joints. trumps biggest base of support is from petty tyrant small business owners. if you want to consume ethically, support worker cooperatives

I hate that every single person I see criticizing DOGE has to say "I'm sure there's waste" and "cutting waste is good." Fuck that. The right never says that about the military. We never say that about CEO salaries. We never say that about corporate bonuses.

Exactly. Trans ppl are considered a “safe“ target, now that nearly 10% of the population identifies as queer, meaning just about everybody knows a gay person and is less vulnerable to propaganda about them. Trans people, on the other hand, are maybe 1 or 2% of the US population.

They're dismantling the agency that can, if it did robust enforcement, fill the deficit. For every $1 it spends on enforcement it generates $5-$9 in revenue. We lose ~1 trillion dollars each year to tax fraud, mostly from the rich. Musk paid no income tax in 2021 www.propublica.org/article/the-...

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

That’s actually untrue. On balance, running on progressive strategies and policies generally win over people all across the political spectrum. But when progressive strategies are put on the back burner in favor of trying to appeal to conservatives, people walk away.

Who's going to tell these dumb mother fuckers that just bc they knew each other, may have lived together, and more than one person was known to be LGBTQ+ doesn't mean dick about whether or not it's a hate crime. Fucking gross

Are you saying that Trump and Musk, two conmen who have built their lives on lies, were lying to people? I for one am shocked.

I know it’s a lot of doom and gloom and people don’t know where to start so my suggestion is find your neighborhood/close by community fridge. Take when you need and donate when you can. That is something you can do.

the idea that these tech guys are opposed to "government waste" is so completely fucking ridiculous. they feast on government waste. DOD budgets are a bloated mess. the pentagon has failed 7 straight audits. the big beneficiaries are tech companies providing defense services.

My fave part of the Biden admin is they did nothing with the tax policies trump put in place so even though I allow the full deduction of taxes, I continue to owe. Democrats aren't going to save us from anything

Remember. It’s never: We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t. No more Niemölling. We fight because they are coming for anyone. Every single person matters. Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.

The idea that it’s undemocratic to use the powers given to you under state law to remove a corrupt mayor who is essentially being bribed into complying with an administration that’s breaking the law every minute is ridiculous.

not to pick on josh but why does anyone imagine that in jan 2029 trump will leave office? he tried to stay last time, and that was without the benefit of purging the military and an all-out assault on the entire system of government

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

it is fucking insane to see people act like "DEI" just means tepid corporate trainings when trump says it when he wants to deny visas for trans athletes entering the united states and builds a concentration camp for immigrants in gitmo and removes all mention of women and minorities from everything

denying unanimous consent for some nominees is good; denying it for all nominees is an order of magnitude better. denying it for everything altogether is even better still. grind the senate to a halt until this reaches a resolution you're satisfied with
