This, America.
Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

There's a huge difference between saying that Democratic leaders have failed to respond to Republican strategies and simple nihilistic leftism. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who cannot see the difference. Don't overextend Murc's Law. Democrats have agency, and they should use it. /end

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.

The US is "trying to block renewables while actively promoting and subsidizing dirty coal — and its diplomacy is trying to make other countries also pull back on action. It is looking at the fire, denying there is a fire, and then pouring more petrol on it” www.wral.com/news/ap/0eff...

For years, the Trump admin has launched slanderous attacks against Rep. Omar. This morning, the administration sent federal officials to raid her home. We cannot and will not accept this unprecedented abuse of power. I stand with @repilhan.bsky.social. apnews.com/article/ilha...

I'm stuck on this. Not on my most pessimistic day after November 2024 did I imagine that, in my lifetime, America would be sating its ever-increasing bloodlust with livestreamed executions
