I admire Hogg for trying to change things from the inside, as it were, but the DNC is definitely complicit in our current slide into authoritarianism. Until they wake up and embrace the progressive movement championed by Bernie and AOC, I have little hope for the mainstream democratic party

We do not have a left wing and right wing in the US. We have a center-right party, the Democrats; and we have the republicans. Any actual left wing ideas are crushed by the billionaires that own the country

Good to hear that there are zero consequences so far for the ICE guys

Regulations, and safety laws, and labor laws are WRITTEN IN BLOOD. People have literally died for every regulation we have on the books, it’s WHY the laws were written

We have 2 parties, the dems (center right) and the republicans (fascist)

My 2nd amendment rights are getting VERY itchy

Instagram at least listens thru your mic, for sure. At least on my wife’s phone, she gets targeted ads based on conversations we have in the car with no music playing

We went to Centennial park in Atlanta and were actually relieved to see the National Guard deployed there (summer 2020) because it meant that we would be less likely to be shot

There are a surprising amount of German surnames in Argentina and Brazil

He “risks” it. Lol. Enabling the descent into fascism is what we are all about these days

Uh-oh

To be honest, secondary inspections are fairly commonplace at the US-CAN border. A (white) Canadian friend of ours was deported back to BC and barred from entry for 5yr because she overstayed her tourist visa. This article said he was detained Sunday evening and released by 11pm, which is like 6 hours tops- I’ve heard of people staying 8+ hours.

CLEARLY the fact that his name is Atallah and he and his wife are Lebanese had everything to do with this, but at some point it’s like, read the room. Don’t do int’l travel and expect it to go well in Trump’s Amerika

This is why Sanders has told new politicians to run as independents, neither of the current parties can be trusted

Bill Maher is and always has been an asshole.

If the dude can raise $20 million he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it. Crybaby old farts need to get with the times.

Running Harris was a mistake in 2024 and it would be a mistake if it happens in 2028

“I’m a centrist”

Half of me still thinks that whole “attempt” was staged

The next big nationwide event

I mean lots of people open carry. Hopefully we don’t get to this point, but if someone threatens someone else with firearm, lots of localities justify lethal force at that point (one must always assume a firearm is loaded)
