Luckily we have GINA which, like most other things that would give people rights, won’t be enforced.

Tale as old as time. Money, lots of money, and promises about people not being affected, the company not changing, etc. 99% of the time it’s bs.

I got better.

now I’m curious what Trump is trying to distract from

/Gestures around generally

Not wild enough, needs more Calvinball and Squid Game. You’ll be presiding over court cases of other fires employees but to stay employed you have a quota of terminations to fill while jumping rope.

Well you’re supposed to just know that it means diversity, anti-war, societal health…anything that isn’t pushing towards total wealth concentration and power of the elite just be eliminated. It’s literally the machine from fern gully

Break off the party for god’s sake.

I loved that they fed what is just boilerplate to the press while missing the irony of copying what the teacher said.

Also, sports teams are ok? I thought it was about learning? For profit billionaire owned wealth concentrating, public fund leeching, extremely segregated arbitrary loyalty-building exercises have much less of an appropriate place in school–and I quite enjoy athletics.

Post office, national parks, anything that can be sold and privatized to the highest bidder.

You may be right, you may not. My point is, whether him or something else, the point is to instill fear to chill such speech, and that will be successful regardless as it will go unpunished.

I mean, I think he will ultimately fail to affront the first amendment.

As has been eagerly demonstrated by for-profit companies and their lackies, many in the US are happy to self-censor. The chilling effect will be more than sufficient, as has already been shown, to subvert anything left of a “free press”, and individuals will have all the weight of the economic and political power imbalance thrown at them to make an example and this will chill speech, as the Columbia Student kidnapping by the brownshirts shows.

Sure, and lots of Americans who don’t want to live in an anti-science, Orwellian techno feudal country will be pulling up stakes too.

Saw a post today about doctors in BC looking to poach nurses and doctors from the US. If you think the US is bad now, wait until those who had been trying to fix it leave, then you’ll get to Mad Max real fast.

No, Bezos is just saying opinion writers should only publish articles supporting free markets and uncritical of fascist dystopian reality we’re entering. A huge leap to say he would put money before ethics and throw a minority group under the bus if it helped his personal profits or company.

“The conversation today was divided. I can’t say we have a strategy,” said a Democratic senator who requested anonymity…”

🤬🤡💩☠️

It’s not just sk and Japan, China is now incentivizing women and families with improved social programs and economics, along with propaganda because they have the same problem the rest of the industrialized world does–no one can afford to have kids and many are miserable in capitalist or dictatorial hellholes. Southern Europe, has some of the lowest birthrates in the world, Italy, Spain but they have had some immigration (which largely also has been accompanied by racism and move to the right).

The US is seriously throwing away its incredible competitive advantage in that people were still moving here. When that stops, our actual population will go into decline which will destroy our economy(or what’s left of it) and everything will be a firestorm faster–and instead of the 🥕 approach of course the facts will take the stick and tell Americans to work until they die and kill social security.

Drive where, to the local social security offices that they closed 50 of this week a d im sure many more to come?

It’s ok, the elderly can just file online. Wait.

Just like Measles.

Oh gosh how reassuring, good to know rule of law still applies at such a reasonable bar…not that trump still wouldn’t pardon him just to give the finger to accountability, his arch nemesis.

Cheaper Mexican labor was the end of the US middle class for most and broader social stability. As Canada is more expensive than Mexico, the impact of the original was nothing compared to the latter.

He passed NAFTA which was the stake in the heart of the US union movement guaranteeing corporate fascism would ascend unchallenged. Citizens United only a few years later and it was over.
