But anyone dumb enough to try this would start Civil War 2.0.

i lol’ed when i got to this line because you perfectly described the circumstances describing nixon’s resignation (excluding the execution).

republican policies create more republicans and now that they’re a majority (per the article) a majority of the next generation will be republican.

voting for the lesser evil will only serve to guarantee that you will forever be voting for the lesser evil and that you will reach the same evil that the alternative raced towards, but slower.

this and the fact biden was so un-apologetically banking on homophobic, sexist and classicist issues until well after it became politically convenient to change is exactly why i stopped voting democrat and i love that i’ve been able to convince other who i have a relationship with to stop as well.

thanks for saying

i’ve learned first hand that not even the liberals in austin give a rats ass about voter suppression in texas; so she must be doing this for herself because she’s not going to have an impact in uvalde and much less for the rest of the state.

also: it’s small town texas; i wonder if she actually expects to achieve anything.

it’s everywhere american conservatives have a relationship and right now it’s strongest in africa

Israeli intelligence knew and did nothing at the behest of their masters

And one of the root causes is propaganda passed off as affordable education to school districts whose budgets are bieng intentionally choked off in favor of for profit education all across this country for the last 5 or so decades

Living in Texas had taught me that, if Texas wants it, it is therefore bad.

this is true and it relates to this topic because multiple studies have shown that unions don’t survive if brown people make up too big of a percentage of the workers; so if you’re going to talk to a union and you see more white faces than any other, you now know to whom you’re talking to and can start to understand why trump will always have an audience with union members despite trump himself being anti-union.

the article should be shortened down to this one paragraph to understand why they’re just sitting there and letting it happen; tldr, the black caucus is a center right organization that’s friendly right leaning causes like aipac:

More centrist CBC members and their political allies have been involved in combatting progressive gains in the Democratic Party. In June 2021, Jeffries, along with Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Terri Sewell, D-Ala., another recipient of AIPAC cash, launched Team Blue PAC to protect Democratic members facing primary challenges from their left. And last June, Democratic operatives closely aligned with CBC leaders launched a new dark-money group to fend off primary challengers.

that content keeps me coming back as an unregistered lurker and for much longer than all of the fediverse instances combined.

but only if you know enough about the fediverse to be aware; if i had no logged into like i usually don’t do on these days, i would never know and spend the rest of my time on lemmy.world trying to figure out why i can’t find any pirating stuff to share.

My own back spasms were similar; but I’ve had them enough times that I’ve learned ways to manage the pain enough to finish a thought other than “ouch”

I’ve been able to reduce the frequency of occurrence by experimenting w my sleeping and exercise habits and learned that pregnancy pillows are worth their weight in gold for me; maybe they’ll help you?

If I’m going to spend all this money on living expenses I may as well do that somewhere better.

i did something similar between austin, texas and chicago, illinois. now my new place is 2x the size; w lots of amenities; costs less than texas; but most importantly, my new home isn’t descending into a conservative fascist hell hole while everyone just sits around and watches it happen while simultaneously ignoring the clear reasons why and how to help it. lol

moderates are the reason why the extremist right groups exist per martin luther king’s explanation: https://letterfromjail.com/

tldr: I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
