Heaven forbid I have opinions!

Glad I cancelled. If the CEO is this clueless and/or and/or ignorant and/or disingenuous do I really want them responsible for my private data?

How very brave of you to post this.

What is dark matter?

I don’t miss dial-up internet,

Nobody “misses” 56kbit/s.

I don’t even like the sound because it’s just digital screeches

When I hear that sound now I am very briefly returned to the excitement I felt in the 90s. It was an age of wide-open possibilities, free from commercial influence. Full of patience and anticipation.

Oh well.

After this bill, Trump will declare antifa, BLM, and pro-palestine movements as terrorist organizations

Possibly. But per the bill they have to at least make a show of “proving” that the organizations aided designated foreign or domestic terrorist organizations, which is defined by the Secretary of State. Yes, of course they can just define an organization as such but it’s not completely evidence-free. I’m a little unclear on the process of domestic vs foreign designations - Executive Order 13224 signed by bush gives both to the Secretary of State. Still that way?

“Then all leftist legal support is dead”

Because people can’t get a tax deduction? I’d hope we’re slightly better than that.

To be clear I think this bill is horrendous, but…

The non-profit will have 90 days to “appeal.” Without having any idea what they’re being accused of.

This is not quite true. In Section 4 C (ii) it states that the secretary must provide “the name of the organization or organizations with respect to which the Secretary has determined such organization provided material support” and in Section 4 C (iii) it states that the secretary must provide “a description of such material support or resources to the extent consistent with national security and law enforcement interests.”

That doesn’t lessen the chilling effect this bill will have nor will it lessen the damage caused. But I feel accuracy in discussing this is important.

The constant talk of Musk’s power in the new administration must irritate the fuck out of Trump. How terrible.

Exactly. This headline is inaccurate garbage. It should be something like “Trump blames Iran” + preferably “without evidence”

How very charitable of you.

I get your frustration. “Why won’t they accept our help dammit” is a common refrain. But it’s one that assumes that (a) homelessness is a simple matter of not being housed and (b) housed people understand the appropriate solutions. In fact not being housed is mostly a symptom and the issues at play are much more complex, ranging from lack of opportunity and generational poverty to substance and mental health issues.

And it’s also a cause… of shame, guilt, more mental health issues, more substance abuse. Often these mix in with the preconditions that come with offers of “help” to make it impossible to say yes.

I have refused housing because I didn’t think I could live up to the obligations it came with. I’ve refused housing because it was clearly unsafe. And I’ve refused housing simply because I was suffering from severe untreated depression and couldn’t handle being around people or even just accepting help.

So the truth is that yes, no one wakes up and chooses homelessness… but it’s important to understand that the lack of housing is only one component of homelessness. I didn’t choose to be born trans & gay and have to deal with all the mental health and societal issues that came with that. But I choose to not being housed at times because that was the only way I could even attempt to heal and deal with it safely and on my terms.

“And now, for our next trick, we will proceed to criminalizing poverty!”

“The proof is that there isn’t any proof”

Sums it up beautifully. I am so stealing this. Thank you!

It’s not too late to swap him out. Eric Trump would be a big step up!

Yeah, Nebula is quite good. Really like Curiosity Stream too… I subscribe to both.

But alas, most channels I follow are Youtube only and not likely to change :(

Sorry who are you?

But do you have a viable alternative in your back pocket?

Clearly YOU can’t

Why? Is it the woman thing?

Harris is even more unlikeable than a corpse and hrc, so the DNC will likely settle on her.

Why?
