  • Assuming one day of protest is the complete picture is what is comical. The Montgomery bus boycott started in 1955. The Civil Rights Act signed in 1965. One day is just part of the overall story of history. And having the largest protest be against Trump is part of our history now. It will take much more for that be a good story, but it is a good sign.

  • This is exactly whats happening. Every fascist act is normalized. There is no line to cross. There are just constant moves that are more and more harmful. Sinclair Lewis wrote about this almost 100 years ago.

  • Talking in CEO speak seems pretty mild compared to being on the board of an AI military company. I know there is no perfect billionaire so I'm not going to advocate for Dorsey. But if that is the worse thing about Tidal, I think I'll still support it.

  • Serious question. Is Dorsey more ethical than the Spotify CEO? Is he still paying artists more for their music?

  • Growing Rheinmetall is good for Germany isnt it? Could there be other German companies that replace US products?

  • Yea. Its not that he used the word "fuck". It is in the context of working with Netanyahu, then seeing that Netanyahu has no real respect for Trump or the US military as long as they support his wars. So Trump gets flustered realizing his Israeli buddy has no respect for the US and then says "fuck". It just hows Trump has no international relations abilities and he doesn't know what is going on.

  • Fewer people in the US are going to want to spend that much on a plushy. Unemployment is going to rise under Trump. There will be increased costs for needs and less cash for wants. But we will probably have continued inequality, so if a small scale artist can sell to rich people, they may do well.

  • Yep. In the next few years I expect more Americans to raise pigs on their suburban plots.

  • Don't forget land sales tax which happened a lot after the Louisiana Purchase and the Gold Rush.

  • Yep. We will need Nuremberg trials to actually move on from this.

  • We need to weather the storm and come back strong. We need a FDR 2.0 to transition from chaos and oligarchy into a more equitable America with universal healthcare and more support for struggling Americans.

  • This piece criticizes people who vote for Trump and Boris Johnson because they identify as "fans" of these politicians vs being aware of policy and voting based on that policy. It says that fans who come together to celebrate are fine. It is the fandom of Trump that disrupts peoples lives, and he does not like how "fandom" is used in politics that impact millions of peoples lives.

  • What are going to use for email now?

  • I don't have the right answer. But I've tried to listen to different opinions and here are the take aways so far:

    Plant some food. Anything at all. Microgreens in a window, a little garden, hanging tomato plant. Anything. Enjoy the cycle and try to be connected with the seasons, soil, and food.

    Talk to people. I'm reading a book called Living Room Revolution that speaks on how important conversation is. Not to convince people of anything right away, but to show people you are part of their community. And to be a positive part of that community just by being willing to talk.

    Understand that in all of history, there have been many awful governments. Many challenges that went unanswered for too long. Even now, there are millions, if not billions of people living in very bad conditions or under bad government, and yet, many can find positive parts of their day. We can too. And I hope that will help us make change. Before we figure out how to do that, we need to be nourished with good food and good social interaction.

  • Purchase goods from employee owned entities. Support financial transitions away from shareholder owned entities to employee owned entities.

    "We" didn't vote for this

  • I love New England

  • The position is to acknowledge results of an election. That should be enough. For more information there is a ton of resources like Harris' website.
