it stopped being anything but sad after 1964, but only if you’re a big enough history nerd, a tankie, or autistic in the right way enough to become aware of it.

You know who isn’t screwed, though? Trump himself. He’s already made his bag.

Predictably, many of the president’s victims count themselves among his biggest fans.

– and they still are somehow 🤷‍♂️

the epstein oligarchy wants it, so it’s only a matter of tiime

once it’s here: i’tll be a requirement to use a phone (unless you’re using graphene, lineage, or a linux phone) as well as a requirement to use a computer (unless you’re using linux that doesn’t use systemd nor a mainline kernel).

you can still buy the hardware that will let you have these options for now.

putin’s more talented than i realized. lol

do you really not know that they’re not going to do this?

several of my neighbors have been putting cameras on their doors and i wish i could do this, but we live in the same building :p

you’re going to do soviet democracy and cowbee’s list at the same time?

Reading circles help!

it’s clearly the only path forward, but i literally just got rejected yesterday by the 3rd group i’ve tried to join this year and that’s been a pattern for me since 2001 – reading groups are not option-able for a lot of people.

it sure seems unstoppable rn.

this didn’t happen in 2022, nor 2018, nor 2012, nor 1996, nor 1992, nor 1984, nor 1978, nor 1972, nor 1964; what makes you think it’s going to happen now?

americans doing the same thing with democrats in 2026 that the english in 2024 with labour.

plus they’re not a larper like the dsa folks!

i’ve tried this on my own before – if you can have more success than i did, lmk how pls :p

maybe they were making a comment on the licensing instead of a culture war since there’s several high profile examples of right shifting underway?

you thought you might win?

it sounds like you were just like me back in 2008 when obama won — willfully ignoring the history that’s shown for the last half century that democrats have always squandered their victories because they want the same things republicans want, effectively locking us into this good-cop/bad-cop routine since 1964.

i remember kicking myself back in 2008 because i’d already been fooled in 1996 and 1992, and i guess the system ensures nobody learns from history — so people keep discovering this reality for themselves until this country can’t afford to keep the propaganda that keeps us from learning this history alive.

i allready deleted Android auto my Graphene phone

that’s why i asked, i want to do the same thing, but i didn’t know that there are more alternatives until a few minutes ago.

does vela have as much functionality as android auto does for you?

the summer in paris ad makes it really tough to read the article:

i was going to say something like this – even the most well read and informed liberals i know actively chose to ignore it.

one of them even acknowledges directly to me in private that he’s willfully ignoring episodes and continues to insist in the same breath that he’s all in for human rights and democracy nonetheless – he’s the one i have mind when i think of the stereotypes of liberal since his take enrages me and i think it’s because i used to believe the same thing.
