I cannot urge you enough to not travel to the states shown here in dark maroon. It's not safe for *any* woman or lgbtq person.

Also do not buy products manufactured in any of those states - including Ky Bourbon.

Boycott any biz that has their headquarters in these states unless you know for a *fact* they support LGBTQ rights and are not right wing nut jobs. There aren't two sides here. No money for fascists.

Thunderbird is part of Mozilla, and now they've got issues of their own, according to the posts going around today about their new terms of service.

Someone should introduce proton to the concept of interns. Fascists love them. Low or no pay slave labor! Just what republicans want.

About 6 years from now, a lot of parents are going to learn the hard way that not vaccinating your kids is stupid, as they experience incurable post-viral syndrome, and yes, even death, from a virus years ago.

"Emmalee spent five weeks in home hospice, passing away five months after symptoms began, Finkelstein-Parker said.

After Emmalee died, Finkelstein-Parker took the goody bags to school as presents for her daughter’s classmates..."

Since people today consider history not worth learning, they are apparently unaware that wars & the black death decimated economic growth and made workers so scarce they could & did form guilds (unions) to control the market and demand better wages & working conditions. Muskrat et al think they can do the opposite - throw so many people out of work they'll be begging for sub-living wage jobs as AI does most of what would have been high paid work.

I've been a costo member for ages and I never get any emails at all, because I opted out. Are you sure it's not just phishing?

@steter

Since it's illegal to transfer prescription medications to anyone not listed on the label, I wouldn't touch those posts with a ten foot pole. Even if they're legitimate, this is not the way to go about it. Some whacko could mail you who knows what in an insulin bottle.

@qualityhammer @sergiodomeyko @cindyweinstein

No, the military should be sent in to secure the facilities and boot all the traitors out - except since we haven't heard a peep from them, they're apparently in on it. .

This week the US government was overthrown by a white nationalist christo-fascist authoritarian regime, and the media, the military, and Wall Street just sat back and let it happen.

That's where we are, and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is lying.

UPDATE: Issue only appears to be affecting Login.Gov and not ID.me.

Welp, it appears they are fucking with our social security earnings history now.

They sent this email to me, indicating a change was made. The link goes to an error page. As I posted a few minutes ago, the online SSA portal no longer functions.

We are all screwed.

Good thing I downloaded ours this morning.

@kims

Mortgage docs or docs showing payoff, and deeds. Also car title certificates.

It might be worth asking ourselves qui bono in regard to the apparent cheeto and/or muskrat goal of crippling air travel in the US.

Are they trying to force people to drive?

Are they trying to prevent people from leaving the US easily?

Inquiring minds want to know.

'Impossible' Earthquake Challenges Everything We Knew About Earth's Interior, StudyFinds

https://studyfinds.org/impossible-earthquake-challenges-everything-we-knew-about-earths-interior/

Scientists have solved the mystery of how earthquakes can occur 420 miles deep inside Earth, where extreme pressure and heat should make rock flow rather than break. The key is a mineral called olivine that transforms under pressure, creating conditions for earthquakes at impossible depths.

Home ownership is simply out of reach for the next generation.

And Wall St loves it that way.

Someone who doesn't own their home isn't able to engage in climate mitigation and food security such as installing solar panels or putting in gardens and fruit trees.

They're held hostage by greedy a$$hats who will put as little maintenance and upgrades into the property that they can get away with.

We have an obligation to not cooperate with evil, period.

In case it's not clear, the republican plan for dealing with poverty, those who can't work, and the sick, is to *kill off* the poor, the sick, the disabled, and the elderly.

If you are not willing to do whatever it takes - whatever it takes - to fight & deprive them of ammunition, then you're volunteering to die in a gutter. No healthcare, no home.

Every dime you give amazon, walmart, tesla, twitter, etc & so on, is buying bullets that will be fired into your own heart.

Understand this.

A long rambly article that starts with the environment and ends with politics and oligarchs...but I wanted to share this part, which I think is the most important part.

The "market" is not some magic thing that came to us from the void. We make it ourselves, every day. And if the greedy will not voluntarily stop victimizing people, then local and state laws must step in to limit them.

Nobody "deserves" to victimize others.

She withheld pain meds from sick and dying patients because she believed they needed to suffer more to atone for refusing to join her cult.
