32·1 day agoNot just attend, I heard they’re being seated with the cabinet heads like they’re actually part of the government.
There is a huge opening for Dems to go back to being the party of the “little guy” because of how blatant trump is gonna be with the billionaires.
But we actually have to do it. We need to start putting the little guy as a bigger priority than billionaires who despise the average American.
91·1 day agoI never understood the “enough spam” communities…
They don’t stop posts from going to main communities, it just doubles every post.
Like, especially in this case I agree that there’s too many musk posts…
But I just don’t understand how reposting every article about him helps anything.
Yeah, there’s been a couple “ceasefire” it’s just Israel violates them immediately with no repercussions.
Meanwhile, American users are flocking to RedNote because authorities have worked themselves into a lather over privacy concerns about TikTok, while U.S. tech giants harvest user data with industrial efficiency. The difference? American data collection is done for profit, and Chinese data collection is done for control. Pick your poison.
Hard to argue Zuck and Elon don’t want control either…
One of these days people will realize just having a D by your name isn’t enough…
As shit as Fetterman is, he’s helping a lot of people realize it. So at least he’s doing some good
They’re ending it in America, because it’s what trump wants.
If they end it in civilized countries, it’ll get banned like Twitter was in Brazil.
I’ve blocked a lot of them apparently.
It says 30 comments I see maybe 10.
There’s not many, they just love to pile on.
I’m getting really tired of neoliberals cheering for basic mediocrity and acting like it’s murder to criticize Biden
You remember a couple years ago when a WB board member said the reason they bought CNN was to make it more like Faux News to change people’s minds?
These are those people that kept watching CNN and that is why they’re acting like trump supporters.
The wealthy want voters with zero standards except the left by a name. And they’ve bought almost every media outlet to get those types of voters in both parties.
These numbers are normal and happening naturally…
Unless these programs that existed before trump are suddenly stopped when he didmt stop them last time, they will continue to happen.
If this sounds like a lot of people, you’re missing the scope of how many people have student loans in America, or that the number continues to increase.
More people with loans means more forgiveness. It’s like caring about popular vote totals from prior elections compared to a current one, population keeps going up so every other number does too.
To be clear, my point is due to the huge amount of student loan debt, neither Biden or trump did enough, and neither would do more in the next four years regardless of if Biden had run and won like he thinks he would have.
These are performative gestures that don’t really accomplish anything.
Clapping when your team does it actively hurts everyone because then they stop, they got what they wanted, the PR boost.
So while Biden did performative meaningless shit, so did trump.
Don’t clap for stuff like this either.
Some welcome news today for disabled veterans with student loan debt - President Trump announced an executive order forgiving all federal student loan debt for vets who are permanently and totally disabled.
Or this
Under Trump’s proposed plan, if you are a student loan borrower, your monthly student loan payments would be capped at 12.5% of your income. After 15 years of monthly payments, your remaining student loan debt would be forgiven.

What sense does that make?
I’m the one pointing out that pretending these numbers have anything to do with the president now is still true when trump takes over.
Like, do you honestly think that anyone not throwing logic out the window to applaud Biden supports trump…
That’s literally what trump supporters do.
Where have you ever seen them use logic to back up a criticism of Biden?
A half hearted effort doesn’t mean we should applaud him for things that would have happened regardless of who is President.
When these numbers keep going, are you going to talk about how great trump is? Or will you magically agree with me because the president changed?
Cuz buddy, it won’t take long until these exact numbers continue under trump.
focused on revising and expanding federal student loan forgiveness programs
But no specifics…
If your school defrauded you, you don’t have to pay.
That’s been a thing since 2015.
The second is if you have permanent disabilities.
That went into effect 2013.
The last is PSLF which has also been around much longer than Biden.
Biden has done nothing to expand who is applicable for any of those things.
So why are people clapping for him?
The 150,000 new beneficiaries announced Monday include more than 80,000 borrowers who were cheated or defrauded by their schools, over 60,000 borrowers with total and permanent disabilities, and more than 6,000 public service workers, Biden said in the release.
So it was all thru existing programs and Biden did nothing to make it happen?
you can be against the US republicans and yet another evil corporation.
Yeah, I know…
just like I voted for Hillary, Joe, and Kamala…
Is TikTok perfect?
Obviously not.
But look at comments on Instagram these days on any post having anything to do with a minority, and the comments all just “jokes” with blatant hate speech.

That’s Tom Segora, he’s kind of a dick and he’s friends with Joe Rogan. Which is the point.
Even people that lean right think it’s gone to far, and it’s going to keep getting worse.
People don’t want unmoderated social media, and as bad as TikTok is, right now it’s the best moderated “big” social media. It’s just a very low bar, and it makes zero sense to start with them.
The working class of… China and Russia?
Oh hell no…
You’re certainly not suggesting that China and Russia give any kind of shit about the working class with their oligarchs and billionaires?
They don’t.
They won’t the working class of other countries to revolt against their own oligarchs, leaving Russian and Chinese oligarchs higher on the list of worlds wealthiest people.
They’re doing the right thing, for the wrong reasons.
Which is only a good thing compared to American oligarchs doing the wrong thing.
Something being the lesser of two evils doesn’t make it good, but just like I voted for Hillary, Joe, and Kamala…
I guess I’m now a TickTok supporter too.
TikTok is the one they can’t control, and for some crazy ass reason it’s the only one that actually removes racist and bigoted content. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, none of them removes explicit hate speech anymore
All the American equivalents are basically 4chan these days, and they’re pissed people have an alternative.
Like, people say they’re worried about China/Russia stoking infighting…
But they ignore American billionaires have been doing it for decades. They want a race war, culture war, any and every kind of war to distract the poors from realizing there’s an ongoing class war and we’re getting our asses kicked.
They’re not worried about Americans being manipulated.
They’re worried about China/Russia allowing the working class to unite against the wealthy. They’re doing it for the wrong reasons, but at this point all they have to do is be non biased and allow it to grow. They don’t have to encourage it.
That’s why the wealthy and powerful are so scared of a shitty video app.
It ain’t to protect us.
Means absolutely nothing because by the end of the “looking into” period, trump will be in charge.
The rule, which will undergo a 120-day period for public comments, comes in response to what administration officials described as a need to protect national security while also clarifying the rules under which companies in trusted partner countries could access the emerging technology in order to promote innovation.
Stop giving Dems credit for “looking into” whether they’re going to do things.
Because when we do, they never make it past that point. They already got the pat on the head.
It’s like managers who only care about tracked metrics, rather than helping the American people so they support Dems, they just want to skip straight to “people like us” and empty promises are the quickest route to that.
Unless people stop clapping till shit actually happens
The only way this would be crazier is if they had gotten Baracka Flacka Flames…
