Why isn't this a WAY bigger story? Planning to be retired in 2040? Or still alive and on Medicare any time after that? Good luck with your healthcare.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβbecause the person felt she did didnβt deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

For context: Wayne Connell is the bitch-ass motherfucker who was forcing people back to the newsroom and taking fucking attendance in 2022, and now he doesnβt even have the balls to lay people off to their fucking faces.
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as βtraitorsβ with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

When I saw the NPR headline "Trump says he's pursuing Greenland after perceived Nobel Peace Prize snub" (ππ€¦π€―), the first thing I did was text @ericaliesalot.bsky.social to say "We NEED to write a humor piece about this." Less than a week later, here it is in @belladonnacomedy.bsky.social!
This is the sort of thing that defines fascism more than most other aspects. The installation of secret police to monitor everyone for suspicion not of doing anything wrong, but of being the wrong kind of person.

White folks. Watch this. Twice if you have to.
And donβt just listen to her. Understand what it is she is saying.
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Sign on door prohibiting immigration enforcement on private property
Shelf filled with goggles and whistles
This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that itβs private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.
At nearly 1,200 events across all 50 states and DC, Americans honored Renee Nicole Good and mourned all the lives ICE has taken and destroyed. #ICEOutForGood
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are whatβs paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
The fact that all these second amendment "we need ahr guns to resist guvment overreach" losers are now cheering on ICE versus citizens who are standing up to the government (with NO weapons) tells you everything you need to know about the hollowness of their ideology. Sad little scared boys.
