@davidaugust Exactly.

"The planned enormous tariffs, the rollback on workplace, food and environmental safety regulations, the dismantling of labor protections, the planned deportation of tens of millions of undocumented people and naturalized citizens, the assault on reproductive rights and alignment with dictators – all of this will destroy the economy, explode the deficit and leave the United States severely isolated and weakened."

Billionaires like Elon Musk don’t just think they’re better than the rest of us – they hate us https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/11/billionaires-elon-musk-hate-us-ultra-wealthy-climate-crisis Your must-read of the day.

"Between that and the coming apocalypse, the bunkers, the private islands, the space exploration, the dreams of colonising the sea and living on it, and the land wars, I couldn’t help but notice that what they’re trying to escape is civilisation, the rule of law, other people – bluntly, us. They’re trying to escape us.

When you add in their dreams of living for ever, of siring scores of children, the picture is even clearer: they hate us."

So those of you who are on BlueSky, could you ask people you follow to activate the bridge to the fediverse? More than ever now, we need to facilitate connections, not remain in silos.

No, I will not read your newsletter on the right-wing media disinformation complex you published on Substack.

Normalize expanding your #Fediverse presence: use @pixelfed. I have no interest in tiktok but I'll get on @loops to follow you guys (heck, that might give me ideas), try out lemmy, the Reddit alternative, or peertube (the YT alternative). Get rid of Goodreads and get on @bookrastinating. You can blog on @writefreely.

I'm old enough to remember when the news networks had a counter for the days HRC had not had a press conference in 2016 (because emails!). They're starting the same 💩 with Harris. Screw them. We see them.

@heidilifeldman My birthday is on election day. DO NOT F*CK THIS UP FOR ME, PEOPLE!

@BlueWaver22 yup, just blocked and reported.

@BlueWaver22 I suspect we're gonna see more of that kind as the election draws near.

Racists are always obsessed with people "crossing" race lines. This is why segregation systems always include anti-miscegenation statutes (see; Loving v. Virginia). This was also the case during apartheid in South Africa. Biracial individuals are always a problem for racists. The same logic applies to sex and gender (only 2 sexes and one "correct" sexual orientation, and one "correct" gender identity.

driftglass: Ridin' With Harris https://driftglass.blogspot.com/2024/07/youtube-video-player.html "However, as the Guardian of Inconvenient History and the co-host of the "I have no plans to ever forget the shameful, public "Dump Biden" pile-on by Hollywood celebrities, our Never Trump "allies", the Pod Save rug rats, the wealthy donors -- who resorted to what amounted to down-ticket extortion to pressure Dems in tight races to come out against Biden, and most egregiously of all, the entire corporate media." Same.

OF course, the NYT is going to give Harris the Hillary treatment but I think, since 2016, we've all grown tougher and more attuned to their BS and we're sick of it.
