@AnthonyJK @MutualAidNet @mutualaid @mutual_aid @MutualAidVisibility I don't understand why other people get so mad at people needing help

Last night we watched Gladiator 2 and lol. Lmao even.

@Aleums yeah. We have basketball games 4 of the next 6 days this week 😭😭

@Louisa @WhiskeySailor Here's your Terrorism Wrapped! 2024

This year you participated in two genres, corporate and international.

Your two favorite artists were Luigi Mangione and the Palestinian people.

@Louisa @Aleums pepper jane

@thiswomanswerk this has no right to be this funny 😭

I'll never not boost a post shitting on Reagan

What conservative fuckhead got a hold of editorial power of SCOTUS blog?!?

"Supreme Court strikes down Chevron, curtailing power of federal agencies"

Is EXTREMELY a right wing headline. Federal agencies that weren't "law enforcement " based were not OUT OF CONTROL. And even if they WERE, what would that even look like?!?

"Oh NOOOOOO, we have aggressively clean water nationwide?" "Oh nooooooooo, we aren't dumping toxic waste willy nilly into the ground next to poor people's homes?!?"

Anyway, what the combination of the Corner Post and the Chevron Deference cases really mean for the rest of us is that anyone can sue at any time for "harms" caused by government agencies (e.g. your forestry company is 'harmed' by it's inability to log due to EPA regulations) even if that regulation has been in place for decades, AND that when/if there is ANY ambiguity in the law (such as the inability to predict future technology), the courts will interpret the intent, meaning, and constitutionality of the law instead of the experts in the field familiar with the language of the particular field.

Joe Biden is a rabid dog who should be beaten to death with a stick, but in the face of this Presidential Immunity decision it would be nice if he could be rabid about anything of consequence that would HELP people.

Forgive all student loans. Write an EO setting nationwide rent control. Better yet, eminent domain every property that's not a primary residence. Arrest MTG and Clarence Thomas and Mitch McConnell and throw them in Guantanamo. Who cares?!? You're apparently allowed to do anything, so go fuckin nuts, old man!!

@vantablack imagine thinking that #mutualaid posts are a "scam" when multiple people ask for money, give an explanation for why they need it and what specifically they're going to use it for but not taking even one second the consider that the #mastodonforharris group, which has plenty of campaign money already, might be grifting. Absolute clown mentality.

@InternetEh @moira Biden also increased the tariffs on Chinese made EVs from 25% to 100% rather than making US companies ACTUALLY invest in their EV and renewable energy departments. These are multi BILLION dollar companies, they can afford it. Cars for 10k, something we don't have here and would go a LONG way in reducing emissions considering the country has decided, once again, to not invest in public transpo. And would be especially helpful to low income folks. The IR Act is helpful but it is not enough, and these companies did NOT need subsidizing, and the 70 Billion they received to do the right goddamn thing should have been invested in public good, like public transpo or healthcare, or subsidizing food costs as climate change has ravaged the ag sector more than it has the fuckin auto industry.

@siege braver than the troops lmao

I think I got homophobia'd today! I went into an auto supply store in one of the more rural suburbs in the area after working a summer sports camp bc my car was idling a bit rough and I wanted some fuel system cleaner. I get to the cashier who asks "is that all?"
Me: yup
Him: *pauses* oh you're one of THOSE people
Me: ?? One of what people? 🤔
Him: *pauses, sees the edge of my hospital badge that is mostly covered by my hair but had previously been looking directly at me, wearing the rainbow lanyard I have from my previous college job* so you're a nurse?
Me: no, an athletic trainer *briefly explains my job*
Him: Oh, so you teach people how to eat right & stuff?
Me: sometimes! I work at a HS in Portland rn and-
Him: oh you're a brave one!
Me: ?!? 🤔🧐

As I walked out, I realized his original implication was "one of THOSE ones" = lesbian, bc it's obviously that I'm gay for girls is why I know anything about cars, and not that all three of my uncles are mechanics 🙃

@GossiTheDog so there's no actual way to turn this off at all then??

@williampietri @thomasfuchs I also love to suggest Charles Cobb's This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed.
