I had great uncles and an aunt I never got to meet because of Nazis. This picture is soothing, being a reminder of what happens to all Nazis. They all die. Every single one of them is removed before their time. It’s comforting to know that this too shall pass.

What if we crowd fund an RV for each of them?

This is Trump, the same guy who thought that the best way to make COVID numbers go down is to stop recording COVID cases. He has the most rudimentary grasp on cause and effect that his solution to not enough eggs is to remove all safeguards and import whatever another country thinks qualifies as eggs. And that’s ignoring eggs with bird flu. It’s fully within his scope of inept decisions to enable DOGE to gut the FDA and expedite foreign eggs.

It isn’t impossible to get the eggs. It’s impossible to get the eggs that we expect.

Good! Think of the money saved by not financing idiots who voted against their own interests. The nice thing about Trump is that he is determined to make fewer red state voters each time he is president. Whether it is downplaying the most dangerous plague of our times or taking the medical care from the people who didn’t die - he’s going to make sure there are fewer votes.

I will spend that energy now to stop a resurgence of this shit in the future. America has tried, repeatedly, to integrate and welcome the losers from previous confrontations - confederates in the 1870s and racists again in the 1970s. We can’t afford this shit again. No more haters allowed in the group of people who don’t hate

Because those of us who lean left and want to bring the fight to the spineless right are silenced on Lemmy unless these topics come up on servers that don’t remove right wing rhetoric from the left. The problem is that the bulk of moderation understands that the right will talk the talk but rarely walk the walk so they get away with it. But when the left gets upset they only complain about procedure and all the laws that the right ignores so if violence comes up it gets silenced.

The venues are the problem. Having moderators like Jordan Lund helping the right by silencing the left is why. The world is unjust as a baseline. The left has to work so much against the current because they have to work against the right AND the neoliberal left.

Believe me, I wish the right would be scared of what kind of rhetoric they are engendering from their opponents but we simply aren’t allowed without committing actual violence. And then the rhetoric becomes threats and silenced. That’s why the right just trolls and makes spineless threats - they don’t act on them so they get away with it.

Go on…

Some accelerationist nonsense.

Other races do this too. I have Chinese friends and family who are deeply racist against anyone not Chinese.

Nah, those voters said they prefer suffering and anger instead of love and understanding. They burned that bridge. Now that they don’t like their choice of president doesn’t mean that agree that trans lives matter. Now that they are finding out after fucking around doesn’t mean they have no hang ups about race. They are still hateful, shitty people and no amount of love or understanding will make them share love and understanding too. They need to burn in the fires of the reality they have elected for themselves.

Precinct-level data suggests that a slim majority of Los Fresnos voters favored Trump in 2024, mirroring a flip of the overwhelmingly Latino Cameron County from blue to red.

Leopards ate.

Whenever this happens, say to no one in particular: conservatives did this. It is surprising how everything they touch turns to suck.

The hearing occurred amid heightened national tensions around immigration, with Trump and Republican rhetoric focusing on linking immigrant populations to crime.

The real criminal population that needs to be rounded up are conservatives.

How come I know who John Wilkes Boothe is? How come I know who Sirhan Sirhan is? Did you know a political assassination led to US National parks?

Violence begets change. Violence is the fastest way to create change but it is not the only way.

Until conservatives and authoritarians stop getting their way.

Can’t wait to see an indie film about a small town Nebraska story shot in sepia because it’s south of the border.

These all read like terminal commands.

The trick is the smile, showing he’s happy with what he has and who he is compared to the sad fit man.

He was a darling because he was a literally unknown person who introduced themselves with a controlled media profile who sold a way to approach the fossil fuel problem. The nice thing about the left is their views evolve rapidly to current events and Elon has been inescapable in media, so naturally he reveals his true neocon form.
