Well, I'm motherfucking back, I guess, in this cesspool of bots, racists, nazis, transphobes, and misogynists. Fuck it, if I can use this platform against Trump and the "Musk Administration ", I will.

Dan Rather's right. Every story run by CBS and Bari Weiss next fall should have an asterisk superimposed: "This story was approved by Donald Trump." When a fascist authoritarian regime's in charge of what the American people should know, the country has gone full banana republic.
Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
People act like free aquarium tickets are some luxury keeping families trapped on assistance forever. Most people on EBT would trade every “free perk” for stable income, less stress, and actual financial security in a heartbeat.
An aquarium pass isn’t why rent is high and groceries cost a fortune.
Perhaps I'll do a daily tweet reminder that propagandists cannot (however much they might try) make us into something we're not. We're not antisemitic because we condemn genocide. They just want to paint us as antisemitic so that it seems we have no good cause for speaking out.
I was talking to a friend about the labor market today, and he said, “Unskilled worker is a term made up by capitalists to justify why a person working 40+ hours a week is still poor,” and I can’t unsee it.
@Loverism__ That's where you're wrong because I don't hate, I congratulate. A woman has the right to do as she will with her own body. She should also have the right to fair pay and to not be sexually harassed. Simple really.
@elonmusk Imagine having enough money to save the world, commissioning experts to come up with a plan for such, then abandoning it to buy Twitter so that you can change it to a "name" that no one ever calls it, and use it as your own personal playground to bully the "sensitive" kids.
“Work isn’t supposed to be fun,” “life is supposed to be hard.” Why? Says who?
We operate under this belief that everything meaningful has to be difficult, when it really doesn’t. The whole point of progress is to make life suck less, not glorify unnecessary struggle.
You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.
@glassicmermaid@OrevaZSN I tried it in the early days, before I understood how much water/energy it requires. To me, at the time, it was a scientific curiosity, an interesting subject of sci-fi brought to realization. Now, understanding the many dangers, I can't help feeling anything other than horror.
Humanity thrived for thousands of years without AI. We can live without it. What we cannot live without is fresh water, farmers, agriculture, and land.
Stop supporting AI. It’s destroying our planet.
AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”
“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”
