Honestly can't believe I have to say this out loud, but it was Trump's CRIMES that "upended democratic norms," NOT THE INDICTMENT. All this vapid handwaving about norms is a blatant attempt to give a pass to some of the most treacherous criminals in America's history.

@stevesilberman people should make note of the fact that it was 12 US citizens, not the DOJ, that made the decision to move forward.

I hope white Americans are drawing parallels between the way fascists in the government are treating them, and the way Black Americans have always been treated.

@StillIRise1963 truth. I could drive down the street with body parts flying out of the trunk and get a pass while my friends husband who is an oral surgeon sold his dream car after the third time he got pulled , the time he was made to lie down on the sidewalk.

"Legislators in Wisconsin, Ohio and Iowa are actively considering relaxing child labor laws to address worker shortages. Employers have struggled to fill open positions after a spike in retirements, deaths & illnesses from COVID-19, decreases in legal immigration and other factors.

Wisconsin lawmakers back a proposal to allow 14-year-olds to serve alcohol in bars and restaurants."

State lawmakers want children to fill labor shortages, even in bars and on school nights

@futurebird @StillIRise1963 what they want is a permanent underclass of intentionally uneducated workers. That underclass will remain in the service industry or as military enlisted personnel. They’ll be disposable, have children young and die prematurely. Debt will control their lives.
Of course THEIR children will have every opportunity handed to them on a plate so they can ensure they will be the ruling class for generations to come.

it's hard to earmark money or keep accounts separate when you're broke.

there's money there.

you need money for groceries.

it's much easier to manage money when you don't have an urgent personal need for it.

@thor when I was too broke to pay attention it took a lot of time and effort to budget basics. I planned every meal and never threw out food. It was a hard habit to establish but I still do it and I still make soup stock from leftover chicken bones and veggie trimmings. I know some people say, ‘oh clip coupons’ but I never found them useful because they’re always for prepared food.

“Proposed Texas Law Wants to Make School Children 'Battlefield' Ready

In response to school shootings, a new bill in Texas would require public schools to install "bleeding stations" and train kids as young as third grade in trauma care.”

This is grotesque.

The United States of America is a war zone.

The children are hostages.

The terrorists are hiding behind the hostages.

The terrorists are the Republicans.

The NRA funds terrorism.

Only you can end this.

'She had no face': Witness and father recalls 'carnage' from Saturday’s Texas mass shooting

This defense of Applied Behavior Analysis against criticisms from the community - appropriating the language of - is one of the most bizarre things I've ever read. But the distortion is typical of ABA rhetoric. https://iejee.com/index.php/IEJEE/article/view/2054/618?fbclid=IwAR1gFkb-cL9bdx3gBeZtkGqfO9QA-bdaIk1CaFbnwPVSmnSQ59fyPnGJoFk

At least 5 or dead in Texas from another mass shooting

Another man with an A.R. 15 style rifle

He shot the victims execution style. Victims range from 8 to 40 years of age

Why?

Someone asked the murderer to be quiet because a baby was sleeping

So far in 2023
There have been 13,716 gun violence deaths
174 mass shootings
568 children under 18 murdered

It’s the guns.

@NanoBookReview @flexghost @jeber except you’re wrong, guns account for more deaths than cars now. As cars have gotten safer guns have gotten more prevalent.

I have a friend who is... very unique. You know the type - the guy who always brings the out of genre movie that is just extra. Or he'll come to the meetup typing on his phone and you find out he's researching some obscure subject.

I love him, he's brilliant. His children are amazing, his wife is way hotter than him. This guy has a great life, be glad for him.

So he sent me this link... and I've been staring at it since yesterday and it just keeps delivering.

@DrPsyBuffy @ManOfRust having taken my mom who is almost 90 to appointments I can assure you it gets much worse . She’s physically frail but fine mentally. They called me in and the doctor proceeded to address his comments to me rather than my mom until she spoke up and said “if you want a medical practice where you speak to the person who brought the patient in you should switch to veterinary medicine”. The very elderly are treated like things, not people.
