@wdjorth His MAGA audience sets such a low bar, even he can succeed with his disposable, despicable nonsense. 🤔

Don the con is such a fool, so ignorant, a loser. He hides it by being fake and bullying the people looking for a “strong man” to help them through their understandable grievances.
The closing is most poignant: Don't let yourself be a mark for this con man.

@barb The poor are such a bother. I’ll let you pretend who said that quietly. 🤔

Migrants face misery in Tunisia. Rights activists fear that the EU deal will make things even worse https://apnews.com/article/4500616048008a4f5c4e85a84b2e82fe
@GW@newsie.social when I pray it’s to the equivalent of #TheFates hoping they spin up an appropriate one for #TheHeadLiar. Or maybe it will be #Karma that strikes based on a sad dedicated life of screwing over his fellow man and women. The answer he gave at an Iowa Town Hall regarding who his religious mentor was, would be laughable if his re-election would not represent a full blown tragedy for the Nation/the World. 🤔

@ai6yr I was following @nwsgsp_bot and it seems it’s no longer posting up over here. Is there another way I should be looking for the specific NWS bots?

It’s not White Privilege, it’s Racism directed at Whites… 🤔 https://news.yahoo.com/poll-trump-voters-racism-white-americans-problem-black-reparations-politics-090038973.html?ICID=ref_fark
#TheHeadLiar During an Iowa Town Hall yesterday, #Trump was asked how his faith has grown and who was his religious mentor? He responds rambling inept (“what’s a subpoena- haha”) with unmitigated BS, attacking the FBI and Dems, not answering the question, and this room full of morons clap and cheer.
If you want a shiver down your spine listen to this idiocy and if you feel like praying, pray that America can pull its head out of its ass.

When I tell you that police are not designed to do what you think they're designed to do, you don't believe me.
81 kids, zip tied for hours, until some peed themselves.
While in other parts of the city, car break-ins happened.🤡
Later, you'll ask me why they don't trust cops.

Texas worker accused of being on drugs was actually dying of heatstroke
Infante began exhibiting #heatstroke symptoms including confusion, altered mental state, dizziness and loss of consciousness.
His friend and co-worker Joshua Espinoza began pouring cold water over him, trying to cool him down.
A foreman insisted Espinoza call the police, #claiming Infante’s bizarre behavior was due to #drugs, and the foreman pushed for a drug test when emergency medical services arrived.
On the day of the incident, temperatures in San Antonio reached in excess of 100F (37.7C) with humidity levels reaching as high as 75%, noted the lawsuit.
Infante later #died in a hospital from severe heatstroke and had a recorded internal temperature of 109.8F (43.2C). The Center for Disease Control states a body temperature of 103F (39.4C) or higher is a main symptom of heatstroke.

Flammulated owls get their name from two ruddy markings that go down their backs, which look like flaming “racing stripes." The species nests in Utah's alpine and is teaching researchers about the state's changing environments.

I would *love* to work someplace that has a mission I genuinely think makes the world better, but that's hard to find, and those places usually don't pay very well. I have a student loan, a car loan, and a transition to pay for. Just because I decided working at your company is the best of many shitty options doesn't mean I think the company is a net positive in the world.
As has been said many times before, it's not possible to live ethically under capitalism
That's why I fucking hate it
@malcircuit You’ve basically nailed Capitalism. And if we want to survive , we have to get out of the “expansion mode” and “max profits” as a markers for success, at least until we can make it off the planet. We maybe hardwired to selfishness at the expense of our survival as the dominant species on Earth. At this point it seems there is a greater chance of snuffing ourselves than making it to the stars. #TheGreatFilter #CollectiveSelfDestruction

Looking for a job in the US today is kind of like pick a company with at least two of these business model characteristics:
- Relies on cheap energy from burning massive amounts of carbon
- Relies on cheap natural resource extraction
- Relies on exploiting a low-wage workforce
- Relies on asset investment (assumes infinite economic growth)
- Relies on insufficient or non-existent social services (shit healthcare, etc)
- Product is unhealthy but addictive
- Military industrial complex

If you really want a Barbie and Oppenheimer crossover, it was made in 1995 and it's called Tank Girl.
