Oh good CNN is getting in on the "why good jobs reports are bad news" thing too. Outlets like the NYT, CNN, etc. may be better than the literal propaganda organs of the right of Fox News, etc. but that is such a low bar. It is ironic that the country that pioneered having freedom of the press and freedom of speech in their constitution has a media closer to what you see in a banana republic. #uspoli #msm #cnn

@igd_news@kolektiva.social @justice4leif@kolektiva.social When the authorities press charges on people defending themselves against Nazis, they're telling you themselves that their allegiance lies not with the public, but with the Nazis.

Ohio, why do you pay your police and prosecutors to defend Nazis but not their victims? You might want to look into that, I'm certainly keeping tabs on it down here

Our capitalist rulers, and the politicians they own, are playing the long game. Since the 1950s they have been working steadily to shift the Overton window, to reduce the influence of labor unions, to boost consumerism, and to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few.

A large part of that strategy involves privatizing services that used to be (and should be) public.

They're playing the long game, and they are winning — much to the detriment of you and me and the environment we live in.

I'm not a racist xenophobe. I like the global south. I love its people, their kindness and love for each other, and the rich tapestry of cultures.♥️

🤔 But if I was a racist xenophobe, and I didn't want yucky Black and brown migrants coming here, then I would strongly consider *checks notes* NOT making the global south uninhabitable by human beings.

I dunno, just a thought? Seems more practical than "Nah, ruin their climate! Then build a wall (fence) capable of blocking over a billion people!"

Call to action to help kids in Tamecula CA, who are at a school where LGBTQIA+ kids are no longer safe, and where the cops are Oath Keepers and the school board is Moms for Liberty.

I just want to apologize to all of the non-Americans on here having to scroll past our many political outrage posts. I’m exhausted from our insane daily US news cycle. I can only imagine how sick of it people outside our country must be. Sorry.

Clean up on Aisle America!

This, from @pluralistic, is absolutely on point.

This is why I’m here, and why I am helping to build #CoSocialCa

The "New Outlook" demands that when adding your Gmail account, you also give Microsoft a copy of all your email, contacts, and calendar data.

The "Learn More" link confirms:

"Syncing your account to the Microsoft Cloud means that a copy of your email, calendar, and contacts will be synchronized between your email provider and Microsoft data centers."

WOW.

Good time to switch to @thunderbird, folks!

Ahh, so the US *can* declare vehicles too dangerous for public use -- but only if it's a niche product (in this case, one involved in 4 deaths over 3 years).

It still won't touch the oversized trucks/SUVs that endanger all Americans who walk, bike, or use a smaller car.
