@Huntn00 @gwensnyder I attended SF State from 1969 to 1971 while Reagan with CA governor. My student loan was for $1500 and besides my college expenses, I also used it to buy a stereo (a record player with an amplifier and AM/FM radio), and covered my rent and food. The students then were demonstrating against the Viet Nam war and for civil rights, which conservatives found appalling. In the years following, they pursued the policies to raise tuition and cut public spending on higher education to cause financial pain to anyone seeking an education because those are the folks whom they know are their enemy.
Yesterday #UFO hearings in US Congress. I forgot to watch. 😐
Why was this a blip? You need to have a space ship land on the Capitol Mall before anyone pays attention…🤔

A Department of Defense whistleblower made a number of shocking claims about unexplained aerial phenomena — or UAPs…
Among his many claims made under oath, former U.S. intelligence official David Grusch told the House Oversight Committee that “non-human” beings had been retrieved from spacecraft.

Putin announced that Russian state (read: propaganda) media will start working in African countries soon: TASS, "Russia Today", RT channel, VGTRK and "Russian Newspaper".
"We suggest to prepare the grounds for creating a common information space in Russia and Africa, within which objective unbiased information about the events happening in the world will be broadcast to the Russian and African audience" - Putin said during the Russia-Africa summit.

This week's exclusive for Post: The GOP's dangerous embrace of Viktor Orbán https://post.news/@/atrupar/2T9ysLMzGkiws3WqxJq2wy65piJ?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=creator_organic&utm_campaign=atrupar&utm_content=july27
@Snoro The only way this can be solved is for the world to stop fucking around and make this top priority, to achieve unprecedented levels of international cooperation, not be some initiative buried at the bottom of national budgets. PS, we just don’t have it in us. We’ll sit and roast marshmallows in the flames until we succumb to our selfishness. 😞 And Capitalism is not an economic system that will respond adequately to the crisis. Hey, can I get rich if I chip in? 🤔

@servelan The shareholders (account holders) better take a close look at this. Donny has a terrible history of not paying his debts. I’d pull my funds and put them in a more reputable establishment.

A Small Bank Loaned Trump the $225 Million he Needed to Run for President in 2024: Report - The Messenger
@anubis2814 There are climate deniers everywhere, even people who give lip service to climate initiatives might bulk when it actually hits their wallet. It seems like regardless of 4 decades of warnings, rank and file humans are unable to register the magnitude of the problem until they are specifically adversely effected by it. Then they will cry Boo Hoo! And everyone will pay as millions show up to live in smaller habitable areas. Capitalism will stress.

So there is a #ukraine poster who does a lot of good works raising money keeping people informed.
Months ago he went on some rants about how some climate protesters needed to be dealt with harshly for defacing art etc.
🤔
Well, now thousands are dying around the world, preventable deaths if people would have paid attention.
Those people were willing to put themselves to the hazard, go to jail, not hurt anyone, to try and save lives.
So rethink your drink on that one
@georgetakei Unions have always been vital representations for workers rights, even more so today with corporations wholesale exporting jobs, automation and AI threatening the workforce and the ability to find meaningful employment.
