Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....
I mean the allusion to FDR seems pretty clearly connected to the idea of further future terms. Trump always phrases these things in a way so he has plausible deniability. But the subtext is obvious if you pay attention.
There are generally better things happening under democratic rule than republican rule. I get that it can feel small to those of us who want more radical change but there is a difference.
But I agree. Radical change is probably not happening from within the current system. Direct action and external pressure will be needed. But there is still a difference in how tolerant the two parties (and also between intra-party factions) will be of such a movement.
It was a joke but it’s also real. I live in a city in California and I’ve heard suburbanites say it’s literally not safe to come to my neighborhood because they actually think they will be spotted and attacked instantly. Meanwhile, as I mentioned, crime rates have dropped considerably and I can’t even think of a single person I know who has had a recent problem with crime. It’s like the media has whole-cloth fabricated a crisis that just isn’t happening and I feel like no one but me can see it. Insane.
Thomas is a Supreme Court justice and his legal ruling in a recent case advocated for banning gay marriage. Perhaps the situation is different elsewhere but in the US there is still a lot of prejudice against queer people among conservatives.
Yeah I think it is more of a loud minority but it is a strongly held belief for a not insignificant portion of the population, and they hold a lot of political power.
Trespassing outside of people’s immediate dwelling spaces shouldn’t be illegal at all. It’s just a tool for the wealthy to control the rest of us and where we can exist on our common planet.
What service do they even provide at this point? Web hosting? Formatting? Proofreading? These are not particularly expensive services. Can’t we just create our own low cost or free publishers?
I’ve often wondered what the implications of the internet will be for future historians. On the one hand, there is now an enormous body of writings from not just the educated elite as in the past but from all sorts of ordinary people, which is something that has never really existed before.
On the other hand, how and for how long will these writings be retained? If we stop writing things on paper, will these digital writings become completely inaccessible at some point? Could we have a situation where there are almost no writings from a certain period down the road? That would be unfortunate.
Miserable jerks are definitely way more common than they should be but cutting a tree is a lot of work. It’s hard to believe they didn’t have some kind of motive beyond just stirring up shit. Maybe we’ll find out during or after the trial.
Yeah on Reddit I made 12 posts in 12 years. I’ve made over 10x that number on Lemmy in less than 1 year. Caring about the platform makes a big difference in my desire to engage and contribute.
Very cool project and glad to see it’s still going strong. Fun fact: I actually helped plant some of the very first trees here when it was just an empty field.
Seriously there’s is nothing morally wrong with a 48-year-old being in a causal sexually relationship with an 18 year old in my opinion because they’re both consenting adults that understand the long-term social ramifications of sex and so if an 18 year old wants to be in a causal sexual relationship with a 48-year-old...
New York post is definitely biased but I don’t know if I’d consider them quite as bad as a tabloid. I’ve seen decent articles out of them often enough, though I’m not a regular reader so maybe only the good ones are filtering over to me.
