Hard to forget when you can’t eat.

Imagine if this guy spent this much energy on building housing.

In an unmarked envelope of cash. Just like business insider’s article shows.

Stay tuned for the follow up video.

“I burned my house down using 500 disposable vapes”

That depends. Is this still the definition of the word?

Only want this tech so we can create an island of organ donor slaves that we can leverage to keep Ewan McGregor healthy.

I don’t believe he has the cognitive capacity to sit through a full film.

They got 25 years. That’s a pretty good run.

He’s still above water with the base, which means the GOP Congress is still too afraid to break rank.

100%.

But this just feels like more of politics as normal. It’s the stuff that we know doesn’t actually do anything, and IMHO, in an era where the DNC is viewed as a party that’s all talk and no substance, this stuff does help. It reenforces that negative image.

I’d rather see them dump money into organizing and rallying like the 50501 folks are.

Symbolic bills get you a handful of clicks, and that’s it. They’re not an effective use of time, and we need get people active and organized.

The bill will still need to pass the House and be signed by the president

Cool. So more pageantry.

Reminder, many Californians can vote early in person right now. They can also register at a polling place if they haven’t done so.

For the presidency.

House terms are 2 years, and Senators are 6 years.

Harris is DID NOT say the election was stolen. She did the exact opposite of what Trump did. She conceded and acknowledged result of the vote.

On Nov 6 she said:

… we must accept the results of this election. Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.

A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle as much as any other distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny, and anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.

inclusiveness and broad-tentedness

Exactly. It’s a simple unifying message.

The first round of protests suffered from what many protests on the left suffer from. It was tens of thousand of people with their own message. The signs and the speakers were all trying to cover abortion, billionaires, voting rights, Palestine, schools, healthcare, unions, immigration, corruption, the environment, judges, etc.

People had good intentions, but the unifying message needs to succinct and easy to understand if you want to cut through all the noise.

Late stage capitalism + social media engagement algos. It’s impacting almost every nation.

They’re not needed on Lemmy. We just see the replies in our inbox. We don’t need to be mentioned in the reply. That’s like knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell at the same time.

Drive through New Mexico and it will become abundantly clear. There are only around 2 million people in the entire state. Half of the people live in 3 counties, and a lot of rest of the state is a whole lotta nothing, dying or dead towns, and single trailers separated by miles.
