@inthehands job postings too, both the startups posting the jobs and the job descriptions. I don't like it.

as the Israeli regime prepares to starve millions of people to death, probably a good idea to take another look at the "not a genocide" takes and see if those people want to revise their opinions and maybe admit they were wrong.

at this point, I don't care what happened on October 7, Israel's subsequent actions have been so unbelievably monsterous that I don't think it matters and we can drop the caveats. every genocide is claimed to be an act of self defense.

they are desperate to put this thing back together. https://www.marketwatch.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-s-p-and-nasdaq-to-rally-after-trump-eases-powell-angst-and-tesla-shares-pop/card/scott-bessent-offers-a-gentler-message-again-saying-america-first-does-not-mean-america-alone--XOXbEHRyuacoGbkvKdy7

hooooooly shit lol

who could have seen this coming (everyone. literally everyone) https://bsky.app/profile/janelleshane.com/post/3lmnpkz53vc2e

this is the kind of thing that makes me think the US is not gonna make it. the US is fucked for the rest of my life, not because the Republicans suck, but because the Democrats are so extremely bad at being an opposition party. clueless, useless people.

four Democrats voted for the House bill to require **passports** to vote!! just utterly fucked. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-passes-bill-requiring-proof-citizenship-vote-federal-elections-rcna200586

I will never recover from this financially.

ok, so the courts won't stop the concentration camps. now what?

yeah, it's not actually that complicated.

all my love and support goes out to the people trying to bootstrap a new opposition movement. the Tesla Takedown, the pro-Palestine organizers, the people who shout obscenities at townhalls. these people are heroes, but the institutional Democratic Party is always working behind the scenes to undermine them.

there is no strong opposition movement in the United States because the mainstream Democrats **don't want one** and they have done everything possible to discourage the formation of one.

the people who typically lead protest movements--students, people of color, people with values--have been systematically maligned and marginalized by mainstream Democrats and their allies in the conservative media (New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, etc.). most of the national lawmakers who aligned with the protest movement were removed from office.

for the people in Europe wondering why Americans don't protest, they did. 2020-2021 saw the biggest protest movement in American history. and then the cops beat the shit out of everyone, and when the Democrats re-took power on the backs of those protesters, they gave all the cops raises and threw the movement under a bus.

honestly, Americans deserve everything that's about to happen to us. not for a single fucking second over the last 24hrs did anyone pause to question whether we should be dropping millions of dollars worth of bombs on some poor country where people are just trying to live.

just remembering the whole Elián González thing, my god how times have changed. now you've got a Republican president doing this exact thing like hundreds of times a day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli%C3%A1n_Gonz%C3%A1lez

i'm intrigued by the fedi girl thing. it's spam, but to what purpose? it's almost like a proof of concept or something. some script kiddie messing around, seeing what they can automate.

i wish this whole shitty moment would make people reevaluate in their heads what it means when the government classifies someone as a "criminal." mostly they are just normal people and something went wrong. but it seems like not yet. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/canadian-detained-us-immigration-jasmine-mooney
