Indoctrination 

This is especially true when we have the courage to explore beliefs we were indoctrinated with - like those involving #religion , #race , and #class .

Imagine trying to enact a policy so unpopular that threatening an economic crash is the only way you can think of to get it done.

Yet, extremist politicians are doing exactly that: threatening default for the first time in history in order to slash Social Security and Medicare.

Imagine if the NY Times take from the beginning had been:

Biden’s lawyers find classified documents on his premises!
By immediately notifying the authorities, returning the documents, and inviting further searches, they create a political problem for Trump: Highlighting the contrast between the right and the wrong way to treat the discovery of classified documents. Trump’s indictment for obstruction now seems inevitable.

Then: Pence, too, avoids obstructing justice …

Comcast blames Hurricane Ian for broadband losses. That is like frosting a cow patty and calling it dessert. Competition taking a bite out of the cable company. It will respond by ... doing little/nothing. Or they can hike prices to keep revenue up.

Currently playing around with @elk which I saw someone (I forget who) recommend to me. In lieu of any "desktop Mastodon apps" for Linux yet, it's a nice alternative to the main Mastodon web ui (which is perfectly usable, I just like trying different things). So go check it out if you like @ elk.zone

This excellent post by @jamisonfoser about egregiously bad journalism by @peterbakernyt &co. is very much along the lines of what I would have written if I had the energy: findinggravity.substack.com/p/

@pluralistic As with "bullshit jobs", a name corporate interests happily filter out so people under their sway don't see mention of it. Prudery and tone policing in defense of the status quo, as always.

Half the reason for fosta/sesta is "camgirl" was a lucrative work-from-home job a young woman could do safely and anonymously on a flexible schedule without training or much up-front investment, so of course it had to be ruthlessly eliminated as an option to maintain patriarchy.

BREAKING: The system for handling classified info is BROKEN. Congress must fix it.

I’m introducing Defending Our Classified Secrets (DOCS) Act, which requires federal officials, within 30 days of leaving office, to certify under oath that they possess no classified documents. It would also require a tracking system for classified documents that have been removed from a secure location.

@stevenbodzin @vernaf @parkermolloy we allow Russian propaganda to be played on our military bases as the main source of news (fox). Until dems acknowledge that is enemy propaganda and stop treating it like a legit news network, we are never gonna get to fixing our own sources of info. We limit “free speech” when it’s detrimental or threatening (yelling fire in a theater or threatening a life), it’s about time we acknowledge the harm fox is doing to us daily.

The “both-sides" reporting on the debt ceiling by the mainstream media is preposterous.

This fight is being waged solely by the Republican Party.

When Trump was in power, Republicans voted to increase the debt limit three times. Now they refuse.

The GOP owns this crisis.

Perhaps Donald Trump attacking everyone who once supported him as he is facing imminent indictments is not the best idea, but please, proceed. youtu.be/QOjvdxWWi-k

The world's plutocrats -- including, sadly, the Biden administration on this issue -- are telling everyone to get back to normal re covid. But when they feel even slightly at risk, they pull out all the stops to ensure their own safety.

Their hypocrisy is transcendent, and countless more illnesses and deaths are on the way because of this. thenation.com/article/society/
