The lady doth protest too much… I’m calling it now, some psychiatrist tried to diagnose Rfk Jr with autism and he lost his fucking shit about it. I mean the dudes been obsessed with dead animals since he was a child always been known as “eccentric”.
Lol, yes it is. Greenland only has a pop a little over 55k people. Meaning that trump is offering a little over 500m dollars for an island who’s gdp is well over 3 billion dollars a year.
Not only is he being incredibly stupid, he’s being super cheap about it at the same time.
Buying the dip does not mean to purchase stock anytime number goes down. It means buy when you think something other than market forces are affecting a stock that you believe will make a quick recovery.
We are not in dip territory, we are in recession territory. An old saying is don’t try and catch a falling knife. It’s better to let it hit the floor before picking it back up, and we’re still a ways from hitting the floor.
Well, I mean he had an entire security detail deputized by the US Marshalls…so it’s not like he’s just walking out in the open. The guy surrounds himself with sycophants and other billionaires, it’s the only way to completely isolate yourself from reality.
I don’t think he’s really made an actual public appearance since being booed on stage at that chapel show, and that was by people going to see an unfunny transphobe.
Signal itself is not vulnerable. This article needs to correct itself. Signal is only vulnerable if the DEVICE THAT USES IT is compromised.
I think the description of vulnerability is subjective in this case. It could be that signal is inherently more vulnerable than official channels, as Signal is a private corporation that has no motivation to disclose any failures in their security.
I don’t think the article is trying to blame Signal in any way, it’s just not the proper communication channel and thus utilizing it is an inherent vulnerability no matter how secure their encryption may be.
Martin Luther King Jr and Malcom X knew that voting was not the only tool to fight oppression and were killed for it
Are you equating your criticisms to MLK and Malcolm X’s accomplishments?
been time to march to the white house again and has been for hot minute
And what exactly does your criticism have to do with marching on the fascist led white house?
Again my rebuttal to your criticism is that you didn’t offer anything but criticism to the only resistance option we currently have going for us. Criticism does not equal political organizing…
At the moment I would welcome any form of political organizing in the aims of opposing the current administration. Whether that be from Democrats, centrist Republicans , or even libertarians. I don’t care as long as you aren’t a fucking neonazi. We need a large tent opposition to oppose fascism as a popular front.
Leftist nitpicking liberal ideology only serves the aims of the fascist. Get over yourself and lock arms with anyone who is willing to stand up to a literal fascist.
naming it is enough if it is apparent that most are unaware.
Do you really think that people on Lemmy are unaware that the two party system is a problem?
I think the problem most people are having with this type of criticism is that it’s aimed at the only tool we currently have to oppose fascism, while not really giving us any other option. All while not even really being critical of the actual problem…the fascist.
The frustrating thing about my fellow leftist that most liberal minded on this site have, is that we seem to spend more time trying to fight liberalism than we do fascism. When history shows that the only real way to defeat fascist is to form a popular front with anyone who isn’t a fucking fascist.
Liberalism isn’t my preferred government choice, but I’ll make nice with anyone willing to throw hands at a fucking Nazi. We can settle our differences when the guys who want to exterminate minority groups have left the chat.
I mean you have valid points, but you’re not really offering much of a solution. I think most people will agree that the two party system has failed the people, but simply not participating in it is exactly what conservatives require to achieve their goals.
I am not a fan of hardly any Democrats, but it would be idiotic to say there’s not a stark difference between the two parties, especially at the State level.
Legality is a matter of judicial opinion and enforcement. It seems that the trump administration is perfectly fine with ignoring the former and the judicial system can’t be asked to perform the latter.
The banality of evil rears its unremarkable and familiar head once again.
You might try an orthopedic shoe company like Drew Shoes. They carry size 15 in multiple widths for a lot of their shoes. They can be a bit pricey, but they have a clearance section that usually has a lot of options.
The sad thing is that a good amount of these guys aren’t actually working for the state. A lot of them are actually immigrants who left Russia for more opportunities, but are still rampant nationalist attempting to damage the countries that gave them a new home.
Yeah… I think some Marshalls are probably going to get fired by some angry judges. The Marshalls are the enforcement arm of the federal courts, they really do not have the jurisdiction to do much without court orders.
Wouldn’t be surprised if these weren’t actual Marshalls, but are part of the private security team that musk had deputized.
Yep, a lot of people forget that feminism is in fact an important tenet of leftism. Been seeing a lot of male chauvinism across Lemmy on both sides of the political divide, kinda sad really.
The vast majority of “hormone blockers” are prescribed for non-gender affirming care. It’s used across medicine for a plethora of things like moderating growth plate fusion in pediatric orthopedics, or slowing down breast cancer.
This is why it should be illegal for legislators to be involved in any form of medical care, they’re just complete illiterate morons on the subject.
When my dad was stationed in South Carolina the town we lived in for a while had one of these. Shout out to Lugoff-Elgin, Home of the Catfish Stomp.
you have dig deeper into local affiliated reps, not the national reps
The problem with that is that the national party is the one who funds/endorses a lot of the campaigns for local elections, especially in battleground districts. In a lot of cases the local DNC chapters are even more entrenched in centre-right/Third-way politics than the national leadership.
That’s how you get something like New York City who votes overwhelmingly DNC get Mayor like Eric Adams. Oftentimes it’s even easier for local institutions to be captured by organizations with capital.
The problem with the DNCs version of being the “worker’s party” is that the left leaning policies they do pass tend to be things that feel intangible to most workers. They pass infrastructure bills that in theory create jobs, but in reality usually take way too long to actually implement and are killed or watered down by the opposition. Even before they are watered down, they tend to largely be hand outs to large corporations who capitalize the lions share of the funding before anything trickles down to actual workers.
Workers want to see a political party that aren’t afraid of taking direct action, they want to see tangible benefits.
Nah, if they really wanted that we’d already be in a recession. Maybe if the tariffs actually start impacting the economy to the point where there’s an actual market collapse, then we might see some people hitting the streets.
In reality, the capital holders won’t allow the media to rile up Americans too much until the billionaires start getting hit in the wallets. Until then we still have our bread and circuses.
Yes, and there were plenty of high level Nazi who rose to power in East Germany… Just because Vincenz Müller was chief of staff for the east German army doesn’t mean the Soviets were an evolution of the Nazi state.
It just means that both sides utilized Germans to deter or lead a conflict that was likely going to take place in Germany, and that pretty much all Germans with military or political experience post WW2 were at some point Nazi.
