On Wednesday, the Georgia congresswoman posted on Twitter that “brainwashed people” who move from California and New York need a “cooling-off period.” Her comment was in response to a Twitter user who wrote he supports discriminating against Democratic transplants, including restricting their ability to vote for a period of time. He also wrote that they should have to “pay a tax for their sins.”
Republicans are waging full scale war on our voting institutions. This isn’t some off hand joke, it’s a statement from an elected US official. She deadass believes this, and odds are good that swaths of republicans do as well.… Continue reading
We knew their infrastructure was crap when Harvey happened. Now this. My dad is still talking about “add DC and we will secede” and “Texas will have its own refinery and oil and jobs and wealth” and I clapped back that he better call his state representatives to pull that hand back for federal aid. One thing Texans always brags about is how they have their own independent power grid. How’s that working out?
Well, the point was to avoid regulations that would force them to do things like winterize their system.
Middle Age Riot @middleageriot Trump supporters aren’t a cult just because they deny theo evidence of their eyes and ears and regard the obvious fabrications of their leader as facts and never express doubts or question beliefs that alienate them from family and friends oh wait that’s exactly a cult.
TIME TIME @TIME Norway is happiest country in the world. What’s the secret? Secular Talk @KyleKulinski I can’t believe that a wealthy country with free healthcare & education, high wages, a strong middle class and nearly a month paid vacation time by law is happy.
Cotton was still an important crop, even if they couldn’t produce at the same ridiculously high margins as when they had slaves working the fields. If you still had the cotton fields then you still had a means of accumulating wealth (and thus power). They also had the wealth accumulated during legal slavery, wealth creates more wealth. They had wealth to buy slaves and farmlands before ie they were wealthy to begin with. The georgia colony trustees didnt give out 5000 acre plots of land on the savannah river to colonists from english debtors prisons.
Here, the settlers would have to conform to Oglethorpe’s plan, in which there was no elected assembly.… Continue reading
Dan Price @DanPrice Seattle Suspicious how everyone blames the rising cost of a burrito on workers getting a $1 raise but not the fact that CEO pay has gone up 1,322% in the last 43 years.

For many Americans, the most profound legacy of the Trump era will be the painful knowledge that a significant portion of their friends, neighbors, and relatives are total fucking morons.
you commented about how nobody forces us into debt, and we all made a choice to take on our debt.
I want to help you, and anyone else browsing this thread who thinks that way, understand why that line of thinking is both wrong and unhelpful.
With the obvious disclaimer that my situation doesn’t apply to 100% of student loan borrowers, I’m willing to bet that what I’m about to describe is an extremely common thread among the majority of us, especially those of us who are a little older and who started college in the early 2000s when things were just getting worse.… Continue reading
It boggles my fucking mind how we lost gamers to the right. Capitalism is the biggest cause of the decline of gaming. Microtransactions, gambling addiction loot crates, pay to win, selling games in piece meal snipets, charging full price for flawed garbage that will “get fixed later”, relying on the community to fix their shit for free(looking at modders and Bethesda), monopolistic growth removing competition and thus reducing quality and innovation, etc… Like gaming is a microcosm of the absolute failures of Capitalism. Everything wrong with Capitalism shows up in the gaming world. And all gamers think is “Look how feminism and diversity is ruining my video games!”… Continue reading
