So, when Social Security gets gutted, we’re all getting the money we put in back, right? …right?!

Stuff like that is always a distraction. They know their base are a bunch of conspiracy theorists and morons who will willingly throw away their rights for the promise of stuff like that.

No, they knew that, and they like(d) it.

Also, remember that Russia is watching this, too. Putin is an asshole, but he’s not so stupid as to not notice how quickly Trump has torn down trust with not just Ukraine, but all of our allies. Absolutely nothing to stop Trump from doing the same thing to Russia, and Russia doesn’t have the economy or the military to stand up to the US.

It’s all really fucked up.

My original theory was that they wanted this on camera so they could point the finger and say, “see, he’s not serious about wanting peace, he won’t listen to us.” But, the more I watch and read, the more I’m convinced this is solely meant to tear down trust between the US and its allies. Trump has always wanted to be an isolationist president, and a wartime president, and he’s trying really hard to make that happen abroad… And at home.

Donald Trump wants civil war—he wants the opportunity to tell US troops to kill US citizens—and Hegseth and Patel are right there with him.

Nice finds, and thanks for sharing!

I don’t think the irony of prohibiting certain opinions in opinion pieces in the name of “free speech” is lost on Bezos. He just doesn’t give a shit.

With the current Ames SCOTUS case, I think we’re heading for a “fairness over equity” court system. Life is about to get a lot scarier for minority and (previously) protected classes.

I don’t expect this to happen in my state, but if it does, what’s the best recourse? Stock up on fluoridated toothpaste and brush extra? Get fluoride treatment at dental checkups? Something else? I don’t have kids, but if I ever do, I want their teeth to be healthy.

I never really understood…

Have you tried learning about it?

It’s a feature, not a bug.

Trump’s second term: literally too confusing, too extreme

So, I was only able to find data on federal prisons, but as of 2024 there have been a grand total of… Two, two prisoners given gender affirming surgery.

One of the amazing crises the US is fabricating.

Yeah, no, they won’t give two shits. They’d all happily be Putin’s lapdog. They find his leadership inspiring.

The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end.

Guess we should’ve known that meant they will no longer seek justice at all. Though, I have a sneaking suspicion the DOJ will be very active looking into “credible reports” of political rivals soon.

Notice how they’re all “states rights” until the state wants to be more progressive than them. Then states rights go out the window.

Interesting. I’ll keep an eye on it, but I do wonder if more serious photographers looking to move from IG will feel overwhelmed. First, they need to choose to go to the fediverse over something like Flickr, Foto.app, or Vero. Then, not only will they need to wrap their heads around how the fediverse works, but then also pick a platform and instance, all while leaving behind potentially thousands of followers on IG.

I think we’re hitting a point where the fediverse will be like GNU/Linux. Lots of potential, but too fragmented to get past more than a niche user base with specific priorities.

Didn’t they make a Pixelfed app? Is this different, or are they just tarting their own server with their app?

No? Huh, I could have sworn I had downloaded an APK and just assumed it was the beta. Haven’t had an Android in a year, though, so I might just be misremembering or thinking of another app.
