Same! I turned down the idea of raising a child in a perceived world where bigotry was a thing of the past, people had medical autonomy, and legal street-kidnappings were relegated to the Nazis in textbooks. In hindsight the world was never that way. I just didn’t see it for what it is. And now that I do…
The irony is palpable. Bernie Sanders in 2015/2016 had the most pro-child campaign since Obama first ran, and Sanders never even mentioned “birth rates”.
don’t feed the trolls
Who cares anymore? This man is unfit to hold the position. I’d rather focus on us IMMEDIATELY removing this administration whatever means necessary, than highlighting the latest nonsense of RFK, outburst of Trump/Musk, or stupidity of Vance
people still get up in arms when you diminish 9/11. Not “dark humor” joking. Just calling it out as an insignificant event… especially in the context of Palestine or even USA COVID-19 deaths. “But muh towers”
This is Lemmy, not Reddit. You can say Luigi Mangione. I’d say that would be my last straw but I’ve long since broken. I just don’t have direction.
Vance and Musk need to be taken out as well. I don’t think MAGA would last long without a leader, but as stupid as WE think Vance/Musk are, remember we also see Trump as a lying con-man, and MAGA supporters rally around him.
Already looked at emigration. I’m sure doctors and scientists and researchers are leaving in droves, but for the average person it’s quite difficult until there is some amnesty policy.
Could start with you; Could start with me.
I feel every part of this. I just wanted to be an artist and make video games for people to enjoy. Now I’m screaming in terror watching every facade of normalcy be torn apart like paper mache. My two cents is that we need to get armed and fast. We’re beyond the point of “wanting” or “not wanting”. I’ve been spending the last several months desensitizing myself to violence and coming to terms with the idea that I do not have a future. I was not a violent person but I know I need to be.
This is not a world of reason, stability, rationale, future. This is a world that is run by the enemy. This is the time we need to assume the worst because the cost of under-estimating is too high.
As an American I know I will never look at America or other people the same way again. The last few months have opened me to ideas I never considered before and have completely changed how I view myself and even the people I used to trust. This is certainly the Gen Y/Z generation-wide trauma event. I’m not sure the AIDS epidemic was even this bad. Government negligence is one thing. This is complete disregard for the law.
They’re dressed in plain clothes. It wouldn’t be hard to get another civilian to join in defending yourself. Especially when the target is a white woman.
All Cops Are Bastards
I’m certain she is. Jasmine Crockett is the same lady who told Trump to “stop being Putin’s ho”. She told Musk to “Fuck off”. She’s an outspoken progressive. She’s trying to spur the Democrats and non-MAGA Republicans into action.
yes we hit that point 3 months ago.
Passport. You need a passport to fly domestically. The End.
It is her politics and her strength, and Also her transparency and her target demographic. She represents the people - not the big corporations, even the corporations that favor Democrats. She’s here for the 99%, and to help her people, she is willing to take from the top 1% that never should have the money they possess.

All of these propaganda-pushers had a privileged upbringing. Even JD Vance had grandparents to care for him and give him a stable home. My two cents? I think the pro-natalist leaders are just oblivious.
