I feel like !? currently means the same thing as ???

So maybe we could all agree to use !? for situations like "Are you kidding me!?"

Then we can use the count of the question marks to indicate the urgency and/or depth of the question.

What do you think?

@nixCraft

Can we just create an alternate AI world for billionaires where they can think they're replacing us with AI, flying to Mars, exploiting workers, making a gazillion dollars, etc.?

Meanwhile we normal, mentally-less-damaged people can get back to real world problems and deal with climate change, poverty, wars, etc 👍

@heidilifeldman

This.

The press needs to make clear that ICE is targeting people who show up in court, keep their appointments, and follow our laws for traumatic detentions and deportations.

They want to make people too terrified to obey, then they'll weaponize people's efforts to hide as criminal behavior.

They thrive on fear.

@apriloq

That's a good reason to keep calling. Nothing will change until we do enough to change it.

And the fact is, fascism works like a drug, the MAGA cult is no different. There isn't a point where the control over others is enough to make them feel better. They escalate and escalate, to create more and more people to judge and hate. The violence doesn't stop until we stop it.

Please, keep calling, writing, emailing

I hope the voters in Florida will have a say. US voters need to call their senators and congresspeople to stop the SAVE voter suppression bill. Looks like they might try to push it through this week.

A few quotes by Hannah Arednt are circulating lately, I need to find out who she is.

@nellie_m @bmacDonald94
This is something we all need to be aware of.

@MediaActivist Nonsense. Leftists don't let right and far-right parties win. Look at the US. The problem is that many so-called leftist voters have traded in their values for the "blame everyone else" card handed out for free by Kremlin-sponsored trolls. Simple, easy, no need to ever take responsibility, just blame and whine that no one is good enough.

@futurebird Wait what?! That's amazing work! I'm 2 minutes in, subscribing with an aggressive click. 👍

Next phase...getting the cult to hunt innocent, non-political people.

**Edit: A single man threatening FEMA and traveling by truck has been arrested. There has not been verification of the forest service email referencing several militia members traveling together

Unfortunately, Europe will be vulnerable to US interference in everything. Our economy, military, and intelligence agencies are unmatched.

I think things will be better in Europe for a while, but there is no longer a backstop for despot and billionaire power.

The photo is an unexpected, bold and disorienting mix of tension and calm.

Should not the rocks roll down such a steep incline? Are we not winded by the mere sight of such a foreground?

Yet it is only three slopes, untouched, empty, and forlorn. It calls us home, yet feels unknown, strange. Do we stop? Do we move on?

This place is everywhere and nowhere, the place I hold dear and the place I dread...the place I long for and the place I wish to leave behind...
