That’s the rough part a lot of Americans need to swallow: MAGA is full of disenfranchised people that would otherwise organize in solidarity for the common good of the working class.

There’s just been so many wedges and fences built up from the Cold War that the ruling class has been able to deflect and distract from progressive policy and maintain power.

There’s no shame in being strictly a singer. That is an ability in and of itself. Besides some songwriters don’t perform or sing, and there’s also nothing wrong with that. (Drummers and bassists in bands write songs too!)

When legislation passing the House hinges on strict party lines with only a couple votes margin of failure, ten members is massive. Al’s actions are not consequential because he was left hanging by his party.

Every defecting Democrat empowers the Republicans tiny House majority. Those ten Democrats are effectively auditioning for arguments (bribes) to vote with the GOP. And the party appears perfectly fine with that: further undermining Al Green from behind.

These are all the hard earned conservative Democrats the party has been working overtime to court.

Some democrats were willing to sing with Al Green during the censure hearing. But even so, other Democrats voted to censure Green.

When the ones backing Green sang a protest song after censure there was a counter chorus of republicans demanding Johnson have them dragged them out by security immediately. But they kept singing.

The fascists crumpled and went to recess without motion.

Imagine not just listening to the fascists for once, FFS.

She dissented in a minority opinion against a decision Alito made last week.

Alito made up complete fantasy and misinterpreted his own self to rule against the EPA and rrverse the 9th circuit. It is completely devoid of legal basis outside dictionary definitions and it even references its own arguments incorrectly. Alito literally contradicts himself in his own aegument and just plods right through. Barret calls this out as a failure on the basis of ‘ordinary english’.

But it doesn’t matter because Alito was in the majority. No matter how meaningless his arguments were or how utterly correct the dissenting opinion is: it is so ordered.

Goddamn. Those funding levels are absolute peanuts. Crumbs. Scraps of budgets.

The Holocaust broke a lot of people’s faith in humanity. When that hope is lost it is less a feeling of hate and more one so dispassionate and disconnected that they simply do not care about humanity.

And that can enable some hateful acts indeed.

“all magic in Harry Potter comes from the divine tree, at the beginning the tree blessed few people with its world bending power of imagination, this is how wizardry began, the tree spoke latin btw.”

It’d be right up her alley since the books nor movies allude anything whatsoever to a divine tree that spoke latin.

If the books had a divine tree that spoke latin then there’d be some framework and substance lending credibility to the explanation, which would be different.

The bullshit stemmed from an investor of competing vaccines to the combined MMR. They were selling separate vaccines which were less popular so they wanted to take down the combined MMR to make money.

It’s all been collateral damage of unrepentant greed.

I like how it starts with getting off Twitter and trying out Lemmy and ends with switching to Linux.

Steam just tracks how long the program is running. My old rig played Dark Souls 3 24/7 sometimes because the .exe file would glitch and stay open until I manually terminated it. I averaged 168 hours a week coming back from a 2 week vacation once.

This would be a major departure for the EPA in the sense that the engineer would seek efficiency out of it.

Honestly though environmental engineers come up with wild stuff which protects both the environment and human development. Not the budget though: the true opponent of civil engineers, the general public excepted.
