Trump voters wanted the rest of us to suffer to feel great again. They wanted us to experience pain. The ones crying now with "I didn't know Trump would do that" mean they didn't think it would affect THEM. But they were perfectly fine with everyone else suffering. Alas. We're all in it now.

Reading dystopian fiction, where in the future all of humanity is ruled by rivaling private companies, I always just nodded along, thinking that was indeed the most likely scenario. Living through that transformation, though, watching these emotionally stunted men fumbling their way through tearing

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

Lasst euch von niemandem einreden, dass 100.000e Menschen auf der Straße nicht zählen. Bekämen die Rechten einen Bruchteil davon auf die Straße gäbe es Sondersendungen, Demonstrant_innen sässen in Talkshows und Medien würden sich fragen was sie vergessen haben abzubilden.
