Some of the things President Biden has done:
Aided Ukraine against Putin’s invasion
The CHIPS Act
The PACT Act
The Inflation Recovery Act (really a clean energy bill)
The infrastructure bill
A budget proposal to reduce the deficit

What Republicans promise:
Book banning
Persecution of marginalized people
Tax cuts for the wealthy
More gun violence
No rights for women
Destruction of public education
Authoritarianism

Easy call, old or not.

The Ohio GOP has gerrymandered themselves into a supermajority – and that supermajority is very unhappy that a petition from Ohio citizens allowing a vote protecting reproductive choice will be on the ballot in November. So they rushed through a constitutional amendment to try and raise the threshold for passage from a simple majority to 60%.

Yeah, Ohio Democrats are mobilized and fighting hard on this one – and need your help and support to get the word out to every voter in #Ohio.

@demvoter I think (I don’t know for sure) that they’re worried in Ohio’s case that voters keep wanting to pass things that will eventually knock them out of power (fair district maps in Ohio, for about example.) If people show up and care about abortion rights, I imagine Republicans think, rightly, those voters might vote for Democrats. OH did go for Obama twice.

So they try and sneak this in so voters have less of a voice, are less motivated to show up, and Republicans stay in power.

It's not religion. You don't get a 15% shift beliefs in a year due to growing religious sentiment.

It's cynical opportunists trying to ride to power on populist sentiment by delegating and demonizing an outgroup.

Fuck every one of them.

Hi everyone, here's my #introduction

Long time Reddit user but honestly excited to be starting a new social media account and think this might be the community for me

A bit about myself, I went to school for #philosophy and digital #technology with a good amount of my time there spent focusing on #accessibility #privacy #ethics and how all of these things relate

For fun I enjoy #gardening #running #art #travel playing with my #cats and surfing the #web

Happy to be here and farewell!

@digitalpanopticon @bookwyrm @si@ramblingreaders.org well, for one, it’s not owned by Amazon and _I_ control that data. The UX takes some getting used to and the decentralised data isn’t as comprehensive as Goodreads but I’d rather feed the open data protocol instead. I’ve not seen a native app yet either, tend to have a bookmark on my Home Screen instead.

Stopped by my favorite used book store today. To the victor goes the spoils!

I was reading about the medial S over lunch (that S that looks like a lowercase F in old documents), and I quietly said, "I love my job."

My husband, who is a little hard of hearing, asked, "All hope is lost?"

Yes, my love, same number of syllables, and I say that a lot too, but not today. ❤️

I wonder how many persons with an IT background use fedi vs people with no IT background...

Does your ballpark have a view like this?
