#Trump2024- Our future arguably hangs in the balance. This could be good or really bad. I’m hoping but not planning on The Head Criminal being found guilty in a court of law. All it takes is one Trump minion on the jury who refuses to convict. Then Trump for President, and it will all boil down to 3 things, how many losers (millions) who vote for him, how close it actually is, and how many co-conspirators at the State level are willing throw or try to throw the election to Trump. 😬

Once EV trucks start displacing internal combustion truck sales at the same scale as EVs are in relation to ICEVs the USA is going to really be heading towards a cleaner future.
In addition to the 450-mile-range version, GM will offer a version of the vehicle with a smaller battery pack with a range of around 350 miles, which will be available to drivers “soon after launch” of the preliminary EV. https://www.thecooldown.com/green-business/chevy-silverado-long-range-ev/
It must be some kind of paradox that Catholics/Christians care enough to protest a baseball game honouring a charitable group, but won't protest their own churches for abusing people and discriminating against women and lgbtq people.
If you don't want people to satirize your religion, maybe don't belong to a church that hurts people and opposes their human rights.

I know that my approach to balance as an #ActuallyAutistic #teacher is working when I get to summer break not feeling like I just competed in a triathlon from hell.
I don’t want to push myself to burnout before resting anymore. Daily balance matters.

@HappyHeathen@kolektiva.social @Outersider@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @Badger_AF USA centric: As a middle aged adult, I thought Capitalism if highly regulated, with wealth caps and social safety nets, was the best we could hope for. The 1940ish New Deal was a big step in the right direction for Labor against tycoons, as a consequence, WWII put the US in a position of advantage, but ever since the Capitalists have been pushing us backwards hoarding wealth.
@Radical_EgoCom @Huntn00 @Outersider @Badger_AF, ideals don't exist, as there is no absolute truth, they are always individual perceptions. For this reason, social progress is always an evolutionary process that settles according to the maturity and general culture of a society. Revolutions that are carried out in a society too soon, see history, are always betrayed and corrupted, they have never been stable for more than a season by the use of oppressive methods.
@Radical_EgoCom Slipping into bothsiderism. Obama's supporters were overcome with emotion at seeing the first Black President.
TFG's supporters are seeing a candidate who openly embraced White Supremacy.

This. Honestly, while I find tankies to be really, REALLY problematic, at least some of them *can* lay claim to the "in theory it was good, in practice it became a genocidal, imperialistic hellscape" defense.
The US does NOT have that defense. The only somewhat partial defense it has is that people have fought it and undermined it all the way to earn the few freedoms we have before being either coopted or killed or both.
and that's NO defense. Just so everyone is clear
