At this point, Republican men are so proud of their submission to Trump, they are pro-pedophile and pro-rape and would buy merch staing that accordingly.

The immaturity and dysregulation are 100%.

The Actual Gavin Newsom Is Much Worse Than You Think | Common Dreams

If you want a more progressive Democratic Party, the California governor ain't it.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has made headlines this winter by vowing to defeat a proposal for a one-time 5 percent tax on billionaires in the state. Many national polls now rank him as the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, but aligning with the ultra-wealthy is not auspicious for wooing the party’s voters.

Last year, Reuters/Ipsos pollsters reported that a whopping 86 percent of Democrats said “changing the federal tax code so wealthy Americans and large corporations pay more in taxes should be a priority.”

We're already doing this? 15 months later and we've learned so fucking little that we're already doing this? Harris laughed funny and wasn't going to do enough to stop Israeli genocide so, welp, I guess we're stuck with the alternative...and now we complain about how bad it is? For fuck sake, stop. Right now. Oh, he's not going to tax billions, so he's bad. Bitches, please, I want to walk away from people being kidnapped in the street, executed for using their rights, and not threatening to take over ally nations. That's how low this bar is and you are ALREADY saying why someone can't be trusted to fit under (or over) it. We are hitting the fucking ice berg head on, right now, in real time, and you're whining about not being in the Gulf of Mexico on a tropical cruise instead of screaming, "stop the boat, put it in reverse or turn, we're crashing into an iceberg in the middle of the north Atlantic!"

Fuck you. Fuck this noise. "Not on the list, will abide by the Constitution." That's it. That's the qualifications I need and want. And I will come down with rage and anger I don't even know if I have inside of me on anyone who suggests that someone with those two qualities does not deserve my vote for any reason.

I reiterate my "fuck you."

Let's not forget, 6) the Trump administration cover-up, suppression, stonewalling, and redactions.

Anonymous staffer who has unfettered access to post the most racist anti-black AI garbage on presidential social media handle is worse than just Trump being a racist dickhead.

Security? Threat to the nation? Feckless? Lack of character? Negligence? Weak?

All of the above.

Trump is so insecure about Obama excellence.

Minneapolis Restaurant Accused of Kicking Out Customers Over Pro-ICE, Pro-Trump Views

Oh no...did they want to buy a wedding cake?

<sob> I didn't want workers to deny *me* <sob>. I only wanted them to be able to refuse service to other people, people I don't like or think should exist. <sob>

More than anything, what speaks to me is something Chris Rock (millionaire and successful comedian) observed. If there was a choice to take off "black" and put on "white" they would take it. The opposite is not true. And it is a massive monument to privilege to understand that you can take off your ice, mall cop body armor or a fucking red hat, as a matter of choice, when that option is not something for a POC or an LGBTQ person.

The IWW is a union for all workers!

As long as you are a worker — not an employer — you can join the IWW. Members of other unions (except officers), students, retirees, the unemployed, the self-employed, those in informal professions, and those unable to work may also join. To us, you are all workers. There is a difference in interests at work between employees and employers. Even if someone doesn’t own the business, if they have real hiring and firing power over other workers then they count as an employer to us. By restricting our membership to only workers we make it easier to act in solidarity with other people at your job and improve your working conditions. If you are a worker then you belong in the IWW with us!

Find more information about joining your local branch at iww.org/membership.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 3 days 7 hours

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Happy to help.

Republicans are domestic terrorists.

Why are we allowing an Orange Hitler wannabe to ruin our country and our lives? Why are we allowing Nazi Gestapo stormtroopers to terrorize our cities with their kidnapping, murder, raping, and targeted beatings? Why aren’t we riding up?

Boy do I feels this

"A man who has blown all his options can't afford the luxury of changing his ways. He has to capitalize on whatever he has left, and he can't afford to admit — no matter how often he's reminded of it — that every day of his life takes him farther and farther down a blind alley."
