  • that’s great, and means absolutely nothing to the people making minimum wage, who are now paying 30%-50% more for bread, milk, eggs, and rent than they were when joe took office. macroeconimic numbers mean nothing when after the pandemic americans got hit in the nose with what felt like the greatest sustained bout of ruinous inflation in peacetime memory. i voted for joe, and kamala, i know they’re better for america than the fascist, by ordinates, but they never enumerated a plan to reel in the gouging occuring from landlords, grocery conglomerates, and just about everyone else squeezing the average american for every penny they have. and that’s why they lost. everything.





  • “It is now run and predominantly owned by chief executive Jay Graber as a US public benefit corporation.”

    It’s that predominantly that’s the tell. The Guardian has no more idea who owns which and how many shares as anyone else, because it’s a privately held corporation. Yeah, i’m pretty sure, and when they go public, we’ll all be positive of it. If Dorsey wasn’t the largest shareholder, they would have been feeding THAT out to the press, instead of the incessant every present PR line “stepped down from the board” and “closed his account” lol

    jack dorsey is the largest shareholder in bluesky because he founded it and has never transferred or given up his shares in it








  • Donald Trump doubled (+100%) the black vote he received in 2020. Across the board minorities saw change in putting Trump back in the big seat, as apposed to the disaster he will bring to them, and their families. People went through the pandemic, only to be hit with what’s felt like the largest peacetime inflation, which was not handled by the Biden administration. Normal people don’t care about economic numbers when their paying 30-50% more for milk, eggs, bread, and rent. When faced with more of the same with no real enumerated plan to get better, and back patting, they voted for different, come what may. You know which minority group didn’t break right, Jews (+5% 3.5% being the margin of error).


  • You know what I think they should do, keep marching with Black Lives Matter carrying “Palestinian” flags screaming “From The River To The Sea”, that should definitely get us all another Democratic government.

    Do you know who are the second largest Democratic voters by group, white or minorities, Jews. Do you know whose been the backbone of Liberal Democratic politics for the last hundred years, Jews. Jews put their very lives on the line for the Civil Rights movement, and have been at the center of every single Democratic public good which put all people of color into the position to be able to rise to be the Democratic powerhouse they are today.

    You guys should definitely keep trying to deligitimize Israels right to defense, and right to exist, bake it into the Black Live Matter charter, make Jews unwelcome in Liberal spaces, for the benefit of antisemitic Islamic Jihad supporters, because that seems like a sure winner.




  • Now with Trump a little less than two months from taking power, and giving Ukraine to Russia, Russia is flooding the field, daring NATO to step in, knowing they will not, this is going to be incredibly painful to watch, but not even in the same universe as the pain Ukrainians have and will be feeling at being abandoned by the western world that calls itself FREE. In the end it will come down to Russia being willing to go to war over Ukraine and the Western Free World not. Europe is nowhere, unwilling, and incapable of taking on Russia without the majority of will and support coming from The United States.
