Also if you want to make friends, embrace being a tourist. It's the same logic as people feeling warmly towards others who let them show them their fav show/movie, humans love other humans who are interested in the things they find cool

The funniest part is if you embrace being a tourist with full chest the locals are way more likely to be nice to you than if you run around pretending you aren't because that's all you are to them anyway but now you're also delusional

*stage whisper* denying active human agency to the actions of a foreign government is itself imperialist thinking!

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."

She ignored the question, but here’s the answer:

The Trump admin doesn’t think that a swastika is a hate symbol.

I'll point out that if you actually pay attention to what Democrats say versus what the anti-Democrat activists on the left side of the aisle assert that Democrats say, you'll find that Democrats discuss climate action and clean energy incessantly.

Labor Department confirms cancellation of October jobs report The move was largely anticipated as federal workers were unable to conduct a key household survey due to the government shutdown.

In October we saw the worst layoffs since 2003.

Scrapping the jobs report won’t change the reality for Americans who lost their livelihoods.

Look if people are too stupid to understand the difference between whether a person with good values vs a person with bad values is in charge, then you probably can ignore their opinions on other matters

They need it to be true or else they might be morally complicit for Trump through their rat fucking.

People ITT are actually pretending Harris or any other Democrat would be equally likely to go to war with Venezuela. This is not serious political analysis

The entire "both parties are the same" line is just arguing for surrender.

It's a line every fascist bot will happily support and retweet.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

the people did not elect Stephen Miller to be President but Stephen Miller is, effectively, the President

The overlap between "all US bombing is bad" and "my preferred solution to capitalism is bombing a Wal-Mart" is definitely not zero and that's bad, actually, even if I agree the GWoT was a terrible failure of imagination on a bipartisan level.

and like, look: I would encourage anybody who thinks "expecting people to be smart and have that thar book larning is actually discriminatory" to take a look at what eliminating the valorization of education has actually done to our society

the people DOGE purged were good at school

He won't, he's a California liberal and he'll be killed in the head to heads. I'm not worried about Gavin Newsom, but I think his media posture has a lot to learn from for other Democrats that have a shot

I honestly can’t believe they didn’t blame MAGA men getting divorced on immigration. It wouldn’t be any more nonsensical than the rest of the list.

they’re getting killed on inflation and affordability and taking on water on immigration, why not raise the salience of everything you’re doing that people hate, sure, great strategy

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.

Now that’s a lede.

Ah yes, nooses and swastikas, famous symbols of brotherly love. The flag of the slaver's treason isn't any better, but is sometimes thought so, but the nooses and swastikas really puts the point on it, huh?
