"As Trump finally admitted this week, after lying for a year on the campaign trail, there isn’t really much he can do to bring down prices, either. So now we’ll have $5 eggs and a corrupt oligarchy and political opponents under arrest and new outbreaks of once-defeated diseases. But remember, Trump was the working-class candidate."

Another loss from the Sandy Hook shooting.
#SandyHook
#NeverForget

“Pro-life” would be 20 Sandy Hook students being college freshmen this year.

❗️Due to Russian strikes, "Ukrenergo" ordered disconnections for three out of six consumer groups. Lots of Ukrainians are currently without power.

There was a protest at UnitedHealthcare offices. This disabled woman with a UHC Medicare plan was denied approval for treatment: “A year ago, while UnitedHealthcare was celebrating over a billion dollars at first quarter profits, I was selling the last of my belongings that had any value.”

Prepare yourself

@stux So you're telling me that this thing is 24 billion kilometers away from Donald Trump?

Lucky bastard.

@justafrog @stux You could make the case that any population of humans that made it to another habitable planet would, by necessity, have been isolated from the rest of humanity for so long that they would have evolved into a separate species by the time they got there. We cannot be an interstellar species because evolution is so much faster than space travel.

@MugsysRapSheet bless you and your hoarding heart ;-) @stux

Pretty cool but also terrifying..

Voyager 1 is now about one light day from Earth! And that took about half a century

While the nearest star besides the sun is about 4 light years away from us

What I’m trying to say is.. space is terrifyingly big

Over the next 10 years, it will be essential to fund grassroots, hyperlocal nodes of egalitarian communities. Mutual aid, energy independent/mobility, safety etc. There will also have to be sand in the works, meant to delay or neutralize the worst of the coming administration. That’s why I’m on the Fediverse. Its decentralized nature allows for flux and stability.

Rest up because shit’s going to go sideways in ways we can’t imagine when that troll takes office.

The year before I was born, the threat of polio prompted DC Comics to run ads warning kids to —

1. Keep clean
2. Don’t get fatigued
3. Avoid new groups
4. Don’t get chilled

— because no vaccine had yet been invented. Parents and kids lived in terror. That's the world the GOP wants to bring back.
