Americans are told low taxes equals freedom. But freedom that disappears when you get sick, lose your job or age is conditional. The real question is not what you pay. It's what you get in return.
I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.
Too funny
No one outside the U.S. is confused and no one here would be confused if they saw this happening in another country.
You threaten to conquer a country a whole bunch of times and all of a sudden people get all mad bsky.app/profile/step...
the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.
I don’t know why this incenses me as much as it does, but it does:
we very likely have a thousand plus Mozarts *right now*. But they make non-Western art in economically destitute conditions so they have to do other work to pay bills; if you cared, UBI’d be more important to you than going to space
Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you
“What about China?” For years this was the go to excuse for people not to support action on climate change.
Sure China still uses a lot of coal but that appears to have peaked and when it comes to installing renewable energy tech China leads globally hands down.
Cartoon depiction of a facts don’t matter attitude.
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."
Wow.......no words.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think Marco Rubio probably needs to be sent back to school.. When you arbitrarily rip up trade agreements, threaten a country, and say you’re going to break it, that’s an act of war. And Canadians have responded in kind.
Mark Carney makes Pierre Poilievre look like Pierre Poilievre.
It's disgusting that Canada is being unwilling sucked into the vortex of MagaBS. That we now have to defend ourselves against f'ing Trump & his uneducated, brainwashed zombies.This manufactured Canadian threat would be comical if stakes weren't so high. I preferred watching their shitshow from afar.
1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism?
Here is an answer: Good Things.
Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine.
Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it.
The more we build community, the less it can take root.

Just a reminder that there is still beauty in humanity, amidst the chaos

Did you know the most powerful force for climate action is LOVE—for our children, their future, and the world they’ll inherit?
That's right! Research shows this message moves hearts 12x more than jobs and 2x more than extreme weather.

"If you work a full fucking week you should be able to pay your fucking rent. You shouldn't have to go and get another fucking job and still be struggling. It's bad for the country. Because then the kids don't see their parents and they're not getting the upbringing they need. These fucking billionaires... They need to be put down like fucking rabid dogs. They're rabid with fucking greed and they're going out and dividing everybody." — Bill Burr
Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt
Imagine if we could use this tech towards solving humanities climate crisis instead of wasting it on another killing machine.
"The system blasts more than 60 kilowatts of directed energy, enough to power up to 60 homes, at the speed of light and can hit targets up to five miles away."
