The "voting is useless" psyop is active here on Mastodon.

Russian Jews suffered the most at the hands of Christians (until the Holocaust), and then visited that trauma onto the Palestinians. It's a sad pattern.

Hard to imagine a way to make exemptions easier, all they do is say "religious" and they have it.

I worked in an electronics factory in LA with a bunch of Vietnamese refugees. Smart crew, they all knew Vietnamese, Chinese and English, and were learning Spanish from their coworkers.

The thing that worries me most is that Fox News is on 24/7 at every military installation. This should have been dealt with a decade ago.

During the Vietnam War there were people educating soldiers. It worked on some and it didn't on others.

That seems pretty sensible to me. But the Canadians should put a hold on citizenship for the new residents until they can assimilate or they'll end up with another Alberta.

Blaming everything on Democrats and ignoring the things they do accomplish discourages voting.

Anything that depends on infrastructure to work would be out of commission. I rode from Seattle to NYC and back using a road atlas. All you need to do to make that work is keep it dry.

Haha "don't make broad stements" That 2/3 somehow managed to do a lot of good when they were in control.

You and the people like you, who persuaded others not to vote, are responsible for where we are now, and feel no guilt over the people suffering and dying here and around the world. All you want is chaos, and they are nothing but collateral damage to you.

Leave the World Behind made me think that a road atlas would be a good investment.

Backbiting the Democrats will help the fascists. It always does, which makes me wonder what the people who do it really want.

Driving support away from the Democrats helps Trump. In Spain the Communists stabbed the rest of the resistance in the back and saddled the country with 35 years of fascism. Let's not do that here.

I hope a few organizers show up to recruit people who do show. Thinking you're going to a demonstration and finding yourself alone is very discouraging for future action.

Smith also said that unregulated merchants would collude to raise prices. Don't hear much about that from the worshipers of the Invisible Hand.

https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/is-somebody-doing-something is worth a read. The media for the most part isn't covering what is being done, although Politico did have an article covering a lot of what Kuo goes over here.

Bush Sr established the precedent of pardoning co-conspirators. It's fallout from letting him slide on Iran/Contra.

Cynicism is so fashionable. All you have to do is ignore actual events like marriage equality and lower unemployment and green initiatives and infrastructure repairs and you can feel so smug about not being one of those chumps who thinks ,pmaking an effort can be productive.

Cost of doing business. Fines need to be high enough that there's no profit from the offense, that it is a loss instead.

I circled Trump International Hotel LV in Google Maps but couldn't find a matching location, however, the imagery is 4 years old. There are a lot of Trump logos, but they don't quite match the one in the photo, they're more garish.

Word on the street is that "TRUMP" over the doorway is photoshopped in, but everything else, cybertruck, fire, location, are all real.

Found it on the side of the road a couple of years ago, but didn't have confidence in my gluing skills until I repaired another farmhouse rustic piece and worked out some techniques. The bottom section is 9 pieces and every glue joint had failed, it's fabulous luck that the little support posts kept them all in place.

Finish up that side table restoration. One more glue joint on the top, sanding, staining, fake up some finials from doll's heads and it's done.

The Big Lie about the economy was Trump's main tactic. The social media trolls repeated over and over again the most absurd claims, e.g. average family was spending $1100 more a month on groceries, grocery prices had quadrupled, gas was unaffordable. All of this was false, easily confirmed as false by a simple walk down the aisles of a grocery store, but the Big Lie is incredibly effective.

On the Media is top-notch. If you don't listen to another podcast, listen to it. Its meta-analysis of the news is always valuable. Recent episode took on the "outside agitator" narrative about student protests. Serial is also doing good work. New Yorker Radio Hour is reliably interesting.

They need to take advantage of the quick mart model that almost all gas stations operate under, but offer more extended time services.

I'm a part-time city employee who is thus not qualified to be a union member. I've spoken with my steward about getting oart-timers into the union, but apparently the leadership doesn't care. Surprising attitude, since two part-timers can eliminate one union job.

I noticed one of them repeating the "Harris flipflops" narrative during a break. This seems to be the Buttery Males of this election. On the day after Trump's Arlington debacle, my local Gannett-owned newspaper had no mention of that, but ran two "flip-flop" op-eds.

Skills on Miller's part! Morgan tried to shut him up with "I agree, I agree" but Miller d rove right over that tactic and called Morgan himself to task for his Trump-pandering habits. Miller has a roster view of the party than reality would support, but it's a good thing there are a few Republicans who have resisted the fascist drift. Maybe it could go back to the pre-Nixon days when it wasn't a cabal of criminals and perverts.

Friedmanites have taken over much of economics, due to neoliberal sponsorship of the field. Take a look at Steve Keene's critique of heterodox economics. It's a scathing philosophical takedown, mostly focused on physics envy.

The Adam Smith definition of "free market" is not "unregulated" it is "open to entry and exit by all merchants." That is the condition where market forces work to the benefit of society. Smith specifically warns about businesses colluding against the public.
Friedman's disingenuous definition of "free" has taken over. By his definition, murder for hire is a legitimate business.

The dirtbag left has the idea that chaos will favor them over the corporate feudalists, and therefore hate liberalism because it keeps society functioning with incremental improvements. They regard fascism as a secret ally, because it will hasten the collapse they dream of. History means nothing next to the romance of revolution.

Americans who use "neoliberal" are generally using it merely to tar liberals with a word they know is bad, without knowing or caring what it means. "Neoliberals" are "neo" because they are harking back to a time when free markets were a progressive idea and cartelism was the standard. That era is being revived by neoconservatives, of course, but liberal liberals are well past the point where simply not favoring cronies is a radical idea. 1/

@npub1hq3…fktp Dominionist infiltration of the military has been a long-term project. 24/7 Fox News in every military facility seems like it could be one facet of that program. The promotion protocols of the military make it ripe for organized corruption of this sort, as anyone not on board can be frozen out by superior officers. The Air Force has shown strong evidence of this effect. Mikey Weinstein has written extensively about it. https://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/about/michael-l-mikey-weinstein/
