"When you dig far enough into the data, you realize that any data supporting the idea of dangerous minorities is, of course, the very same fearful exploitation. Because they’re hated, they are targeted by police, legislators, and the dominant group." prostasia.org/blog/fear-and-ab

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Accessibility means EVERYONE can use your service.

That means people who aren’t tech literate.
That means people who use phone browsers.
That means people who can’t afford a subscription service or fees.
That means people with disabilities.

Privacy shouldn’t have hurdles.

And #Fedifinder is back. The API wasn't turned off for good, but they removed my app from my project and as a result I lost access to v2.

if we’ve brought back global pandemics, titanic disasters, railroad strikes, a King of England and Russian coups, we should also get to bring back the parts of the 20th century where they had cocaine in the soda and a minimum wage earner could buy a family home

I don’t like to mention that rich guy over at #Twitter, but he’s rambling on about #ClimateChange & agriculture, which is in my wheelhouse. And he is also unabashedly & absurdly wrong.

Misinformation on climate change is irresponsible & dangerous, so let’s be clear:

25% to 30% of global emissions come from our #food system.

As UT Austin’s Michael Webber describes, agriculture is a major cause, victim and - importantly - meaningful solution to #climate change.

California state Senate is taking up a terrible, terrible bill -- a link tax -- that purports to save journalism but in fact rewards financial manipulators. I asked the legislator who represents me to recognize this and help hill this legislation: dangillmor.com/2023/06/25/cali

I’m so old that I remember when Trump claimed to be so rich that he would finance his own campaign.

Spying on students is bad enough, but using it to target marginalized students who already experience sexual violence at higher rates is especially terrible.

Anyway assuming you can figure out how to post on Lemmy at all, there's a bunch of directories of /c/ communities, mostly focused around migration from specific Reddits:

lemmyverse.net/communities
sub.rehab/
lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists
kbin.social/m/FindAKbin
redditmigration.com/
quippd.com/writing/2023/06/15/

I'm looking forward to seeing where Lemmy/Kbin go.

It’s weird, until Space Karen took over, Twitter used to be the go-to place during any sort of major world event—it’s now impossible to tell real accounts from bullshit so it’s completely useless for this purpose.

The one big thing and outstanding feature they had going for them, utterly destroyed.
