The problem is capitalism. Nothing should be sold for profit if its absence can kill you. Liberalism is foolish and conservatism is evil but nothing is worse than fascism. A better world is possible.

I remember when the USA women's soccer team was repeatedly more successful and popular than the men's team and I snarked that meant that good capitalists would pay the women more. That didn't go over well.
The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

"There are many who will claim that the reason the community is *divided* is not because of Nazis, but because some people make Nazism a hardline purity test, which makes it hard to build a coalition...with Nazis, I guess. So shame dies by atrophy." www.the-reframe.com/the-death-of...

The importance of salmon might be a novel idea to the Lower 48, but every Alaskan understands. Fish is how we feed our families, drive our economy, and sustain our way of life. I’m the only candidate fighting for our fisheries, not the factory trawlers.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Despite her injured paws, this mother dog never abandoned her puppies. Fortunately, someone with a kind heart showed up to help them all. Original post

Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.

This! We would not even be in this mess AT ALL if Biden's DOJ had aggressively gone after Trump on day one. Hell, we may never have even got Trump if Obama's DOJ had done the right thing and locked up every war criminal in the Bush Admin. Dems need to be aggressive as hell if they win.

I still think all the award winning game developers downsized by corporate stupidity should get together and form their own studio and publisher and crush their idiot former bosses. If Mark Cuban and Nick Hanauer etc really are such savvy investors maybe they should lend them a billion dollars.
As someone whose first shipped game as a writer was Mass Effect and is now using Yarn Spinner, knowing that the team was inspired by a game I was a tinny part of is pretty cool. Here's to more stories, wherever they come from.

"Thiel believes in the role of elites—if you don’t keep people under an authoritarian regime, episodes of violence will occur. He believes there is an elite of visionaries like himself who should lead the world & the tech companies that created AI should operate freely, w/o regulation or limits.”

"'What on earth were they thinking?' The answer to that question lies in the Trumpian brain rot that has infected the entire GOP. It’s a disease that convinces its victims that not only is cruelty the key to political success, but that the heart of the American voter is just as dark and ugly."

"hypocrisy is a virtue to fascists, because the point of being in the dominant in-group is that you dominate, and holding others to standards from which you excuse yourself demonstrates domination like little else can"
Today I wrote about Abdul El Sayed's encounter with a Christian fascist named "Tommy," and the fine art of digging up the shameful things fascists bury under their accusations, exposing them for what they are, and then burying their lies in the hole left behind. www.the-reframe.com/taking-our-c...
