  • Anti-ICE protesters call for nationwide shutdown on January 30

  • If 10% of the workers strike, the country will come to a standstill. I don’t know if we’ll get those kinds of numbers but if we do it will put the fear of god into the politicians and oligarchs.

    I’m hoping that folks will strike and stay out until Noam and Miller are fired and there are commitments to give the violent CBP and ICE agents real consequences, including investigations and eventually trials for state murder charges. I think that would be enough that many folks would go back to work. I doubt that people are going to hold out until ICE is abolished, since that won’t be in the 1st few attempts at appeasement and no one is prepared to strike for months.

    I also doubt that Trump would be removed during a strike since impeachment and removal takes a while. But if the US population really learns to use the general strike because of the shitshow that is the Trump admin, I could see all the money and power people believing that Trump has outlived his usefulness. That could lead to eventual removal.

  • Vikings announcer Paul Allen pushed 'paid protesters' conspiracy in Minneapolis

  • I never even understood where these assholes were getting this shit until recently. Like who would pay people to protest police brutality or fascism? Like if you care and have that kinda coin, just buy some senators?

    BUT when I watched a doc on P Diddy and saw supporters or protesters outside of each of his trials with signs, I thought, some or all of those ding dongs have to be paid to be there, right? It would actually make sense for a billionaire in the middle of a jury trial to pay people to hang outside the courthouse and help sway public opinion.

    Kind of a tangent but it just reminded me that a bunch of these oligarchs have probably only experienced protests where either people were protesting them or where they hired people to support them, so their whole perspective is completely bonkers. Not that it explains this sports radio dick who can’t possibly be a billionaire.

  • There are many different types of protein powders: soy, pea, hemp, pumpkin seed. It’s hard to find sample sizes so the trial and error to find one that doesn’t bother your stomach will be a bit of pain in the butt.

    There are also protein bars, which can be a little high in sugar and calories, but if they don’t upset your stomach, they might be a good small on the go snack. It might be a little tricky finding one without lactose and tree nuts, but once you find one that you tolerate well, you can order them by the case.

    Eggs, tinned fish and tofu are all huge staples for folks trying to up their protein intake.

    Hopefully the doctor will figure out what’s causing your struggles. Good luck.

  • Judge bans Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan from 'masquerading' as top federal prosecutor

  • Yes! Judges have to stop acting like we’re in the old days when people just followed a judge’s orders. We’re now in the “Who gonna make me?” era.

  • Thank you for the kind thoughts. It’s been pretty rough lately. Try to keep your head up :)

  • History will not be kind to the USA

  • Should/could the US population do more to get their batshit crazy government in line? Abso-fucking-loutly!

    Should the sane countries of the world do more to push back on us and check our power grabs? Also Abso-fucking-loutly!

    Why is any consumer anywhere outside of the US purchasing any of our shit? I recently saw a graph on the global sales of US liquor and most countries had like a 10-20% drop in sales and only Canada went hard with a 60-80% drop (apologies, I’m pulling this from memory so it’s pretty vague).

  • I’d rather be alive than be your hero. Black and brown people in the US already face violence without voluntarily painting targets on their backs. If people want to stick their necks out, good for them. But it’s kinda ballsy to try to shame black and brown people in the current USA for avoiding violence from some “place of privilege “

  • Tbc, I dont know the most appropriate solution either

    I general strike would be a good first step. It would be very painful and risky given how many folks live paycheck to paycheck and how we have almost no social safety net, but it’s safer and more realistic than everyone trying to go full Rambo or Red Dawn.

    Remember at the start of COVID when we didn’t know how it spread and people were disinfecting their groceries and the feds and the bosses wanted everyone to keep working? It was only when the flight attendants threatened to strike and shut down air travel that they finally relented.

  • One side is trying to convince themselves that we’re not in a civil war and just an election away from getting everything back to normal. We’ve been in a cold civil war for at least a decade and it’s getting hot.

  • In my part of the US, if you go to the cheapest grocery store with the cheapest produce, then you will get better prices than the farmer’s market. But it’s very sad depressing produce. Mealy, grainy apples, banged up squash, etc.

    If you go to a standard middle of the road supermarket you’ll get meh produce for slightly less than the farmer’s market. If you go to Costco you’ll get a shitton of meh to decent produce for what you would have spent on a normal amount of food at the regular grocery.

    High end grocers have similar prices and quality as the farmer’s markets. The fancy grocers have out of season imported stuff at a high price.

    Some Asian grocers have really good deals on really fresh produce, but they don’t have much organic stuff.

    The farmer’s markets have really amazing selection and variety within the scope of what is local and in season. There’s a dude with over a dozen varieties of potatoes. There’s a mushroom seller with like 4-5 different kinds of oyster mushrooms. There’s a stand that just sells foraged stuff that you almost never see in grocery stores. The meat and fish are much more expensive but small producers can’t possibly compete with factory farms on that stuff.
