One year on from dismantling of USAID, study projects that global aid cuts could lead to 9.4 million deaths by 2030 | CNN It’s been one year since the Trump administration dismantled the US Agency for International Development (USAID), with aid cuts leading to the closure of HIV clinics in South Africa, the termination o...

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.

About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

v1.116 is rolling out now!

For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

also been putting it off because my website sucks… and yeah that’s a different problem. hoping claude can help me fix it since i have approx 3 minutes of free time per week right now

been putting off setting my handle to my site because i remember seeing people say they had issues/ couldn’t reserve handles and such

it was super easy. props to the bluesky team for those improvements.

that but also “marriage family ra ra” to them is just “i should be the tyrant king of a household”

part gender, part bringing the fascism home

the pervert-ness and drugged-up-ness is just another way of asserting they make—and are not bound by—the laws of their home

i firmly believe that you *cannot* become a billionaire without some form of hoarding disorder, but instead of spoons and coffeemakers it’s dollars.

where can’t see any value in dollars that you have except in not losing them, and where the dopamine hit from a marginal dollar never goes down.

oh and also instead of just making sure they don’t trip during lunch break or whatever, you can have them monitored for radiation exposure over time, and also they can’t work after they’re exposed too much. it’s the best.

a cool thing about space data centers is that instead of paying a guy 60k a year to plug in some wires, you can pay them 160k a year and train them to wear a space suit to plug in the exact same wires.

“if you don’t like arson, don’t do arson” is such an insane stance…

setting aside “if you don’t like arson” being an insane hypothetical all on its own…

it still is not the kind of thing you can just disagree on! if you wanna burn down my house and i don’t want you to, we can’t move on from that!!

From Powerlessness to Power We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”

i stopped believing in hell a long time ago, but recently i’ve been praying for god to make it real and put stephen miller there

the worst (best?) part of the original screenshot is that if i didn’t know who was talking i’d assume they were pro-immigration, even if “foreign labor class” is a weirdly shitty way to describe immigrants, because the rest of it is basically a description of why birthright citizenship fucking rules

like surely even if they know there’s nothing incriminating, how hard is it to say, “i emailed the guy seven times over three years, sometimes with crass language, but never met him in person” and to do so *before* the document dump.

they knew this was coming! we passed a whole law about it!

it’s too late. i have already depicted you as a POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP

also the idea that i’d sift through claims against officials in this government to see which are true and which are false is laughable, because it implies that i care *why* we try and convict and imprison them for life.

now if somebody is dumb as shit (and importantly is stubborn and or rude about it) and deserves a dunk i consider that a separate issue and also a social obligation.

but those aren’t fights in the same way that duck hunt stops being fun if you stand right in front of the TV

i think some people in your replies to this forgot the snowball fight ended

seriously though i fought with someone on twitter once back in like 2014 (over college football no less), found it tedious, never did it again.

offer to and find common ground. if that fails, block. it works every time.

the answer to ai slop from the white house is no more ai slop from the governor of california.

it’s humanization to counter dehumanization and careful thought to counter slop.

(and honestly some jail sentences i am not defending the white house slop or the nazis)

to be really frank: i’ve found it really unsettling to see people trying to use that phrase against trump and this makes it more clear why.

the answer to a fascism built on dehumanizing women because consent is annoying is not more dehumanization.

i’ve said it a lot offline that the whole politics of the reactionary movement can be summed up as “shh i don’t want to hear about that”

gyges making a great case here that a better summary is “quiet, piggy”

we’ve been burned by so many people who—though we were told they were just silly or dumb—turned out to be evil, that we started to doubt the wisdom of “never attribute to malice…”

turns out the adage is actually decent advice when you’re not dealing with honest-to-god Nazis

YouTube video by NBC10 Philadelphia Philly DA vows to prosecute ‘wannabe Nazi' ICE agents who violate the law

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States."

maybe my “safety in numbers” plan for butt photos applies to the literal grave-piss as well. i haven’t considered that.

see this is why we share our ideas and work through them in public. scrutiny makes the ideas better.

idk spitballing here…

what if a million of us mail a hard-copy photo scan of our butt to his library? surely they can’t tell all those butts apart. and you get to be a part of something bigger based on your deeply held values, you know?

where in really stumped is: how should i express my disrespect and contempt? i don’t need to be original but i also don’t want to underdo it. you only get to grave-piss once.

i don’t want to end up on a list. so like literal piss on the grave is probably out. but social posts just won’t cut it.
