I need to not go in bluesky when I'm down with a cold. It gives me just enough grumpy energy to get stuck in a feedback loop of complaining about the everything of it all.

Truly, I do not believe even Kamala Harris would want to be friends with somebody so joyless.

Buddy, wearing the ridiculous outfits makes the fascists look like complete doofuses when they claim 'cities are in flames' while masked armed thugs march up to a line of silly mascots. You are completely missing the point. The ridiculous outfits are a tried and tested tactic.

Guys, every time I speak to Rana I feel like sheโ€™s lost more of her flame.

Sheโ€™s barely a flicker anymore.

Sheโ€™s lost the will to even try with her fundraiser anymore.

You think this is your big journalism gotcha moment, but it's really just you showing your whole ass and admitting you have no idea how somebody can't just go blabbing about their FEDERAL INDICTMENT CASE on a random podcast. Every serious journalist knows this.

I've always felt that the only response worth giving to this is "and the rest use it to avoid starving to death."

Even if the claim of abuse was true, it is ALWAYS worth the cost to help the people who truly need it. Be there 100 or 100 million of them.

Literally just one example, caught on camera with his own encouragement. There are many more examples, documented and otherwise, of him being cruel and ruthless, sometimes reveling in it. Don't be deceived.

Gavin Newsom in a tshirt and jeans and wearing gloves, tearing pulling apart a tent with his hands. He has a determined or angry expression on his face.

"in essence, a good man"
Gavin Newsom tore down homeless camps and threw away their possessions with his own hands.
He is definitively a bad man. In essence.

She donated 20% of her net worth to help people

And she looked billionaires in the face, including Mark Zuckerberg, and asked them why they can't help people with their astronimcal wealth - more than any could earn in several lifetimes

If even ONE of them did the same, imagine the good it could do

Billie Eilish Calls on Billionaires to Support People in Need: 'No Hate, But Give Your Money Away' Billie Eilish donates $11.5 million from 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour to charity and calls on billionaires to support people in need during hard times.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD

Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?"

She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

Actually now that I think about it, we didn't even we get what we wanted. We just managed to break down the employer after over a year of them trying to do surface bargaining on us.

I feel this. My union had a leader who'd been around for over a decade with an employer who was relatively happy to work with the union until a new boss was hired who wouldn't play ball. We ultimately got what we wanted, but it was more in spite of him than because of him. We've got a new leader now

they are trying to kill every trans kid in America

when these rules actually come out, they will be open for public comment and all of us need to flood submissions, call our reps, make noise, everything including the kitchen sink

unconscionable evil

Like I said, it could ultimately be a net good! But it would really give a bit of stank to the Forever Canadian initiative to me. Especially after meeting all the folks who genuinely believe in and are truly passionate about it.

If you are not from Brazil, you can help us by sharing this story, it's articles and so on.

It's quite clear how negative international repercussion change, for instance, our MSM response to the massacre.

Big thank you for this. I haven't found any English reporting in this, and the article in French that I've seen is as paywall Ed.

This will be a long thread on yesterday police massacre in Rio.

In nothern Rio de Janeiro city, there is a couple of hills called Complexo da Penha. It's Comando Vermelho("Red Command", a drug gang), or CV, territory.

CV is the greatest gang in Rio, second in the whole Brazil.

Probably something stupid like he started writing a post and put his phone in his pocket and it did the social media equivalent of a butt dial.

That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Political diversity in government is always good. It would just kind of sour the mood if it turned out to simply be an opportunistic springboard campaign.

I'm really pleased that this has succeeded (and all the petitioners I've met in the past few months are just lovely people), but the darkest part of my mind makes me wonder if this is part of an elaborate scheme for Lukaszuk to revive the old PC party.

They could have made so many good-sounding fake words for this, and they landed on 'deathist?'
I'm convinced that these types never say words out loud. The sum total of their speech is done through posting.
