Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I guess not, let’s see if my joke reply to them also upsets them

Yes and I have honey and a funny tiger that bounces on his tail.

Censorship is bad when China does it. Censorship is bad when America does it.

Same for Germany, Australia, Japan, North and South Korea.

Governments don’t censor speech because they protect their citizens, they censor speech because it protects their monopoly on violence and help propagate their visions to an unquestioning audience.

“You don’t understand, their censorship and control over their citizens is evil and disgusting, our censorship and control over our citizens is defending our freedom from terrorists. What do you have to hide? Are you a China shill???”

I think it would be hard to re-invent RSS for money, it’s part of why it’s so simple.

RSS as a service makes sense for backend, not front end where most of the money would be made.

And killing RSS is… Kinda here? It’s difficult to get a RSS feed on most websites, unless you can scrape it or find someone who’s done it for you.

Man I should use RSS more…

Reddit used to (might still, don’t use it) let you get every page as an RSS feed. Front page, people you follow, individual subreddits.

Lemmy could do that, I’d really enjoy it.

Small tip for anyone using Thunderbird as a mail client, it supports RSS feeds! And you can import/export them too.

If the liberals of Reddit Lemmy could understand that, they’d be very upset.

So you wanna comply with Johnson holding my state hostage?

“You should give into Fascists holding your state hostage! Those families will remember how nicely you played with them when they held back your neighbor’s from getting aid for the biggest natural disaster in American history!”

If you wanna give into Trump, I’m sure he’s always looking for new people to help wipe.

Good point. Showing how white I am that I briefly lapsed on that bouncing between this and making dinner.

No expansion, its applying what’s meant to be covered. If the law says 100 of 150 should be covered, and the law covered 15 out of 150, and is now covering the 100, it’s not an expansion, it’s doing what the law is said.

An expansion would ensure 101 or more.

“New” era. I don’t think we’ve had a progressive candidate in office since the 1970s. We’ve been slipping towards fascism, minor stop gaps and small caveats/wins before full speed ahead into enacting Hitler’s dream.

Already happened, normalized:

• Japanese
• Mexicans
• Arguably to black people and queer

Soon:

• Ensured to Queers
• Women
• Ensured to Black people

Oh well, maybe the Republicans should have thought of the consequences of their actions when they’re legitimately evil and hurting people because it makes $0.01 more money than doing the right thing.

Sucks to suck, Republicans need to eat shit.

If I was governor of California:

Sure, go ahead. We’ll stop paying Federal taxes. Let the red states crumble as they don’t have our funds. You hold us hostage, we’ll play by your games. You go low, we go low.

Maybe then we’ll have some sort of progress as a nation for the first time in years.

Why are you liberal apologists acting like MAGAs?

Because they are, why else did Harris court the right wing and drop support for BIPOC and Queer folks?

So it’s taking a law already in place, and just applying the law?

Win, I guess?

Liberals would rather treat complying with helpful laws set up a decade ago is a win to secure the vote (if we get to vote ever again) when he failed to cancel debts that he literally set up as a Senator.
