"We now act like neighbors should have acted in the first place. From my office at the local newspaper, I begged the sheriff to let us back when the neighboring area was back, pointing out that we were on the same power grid, not on Greenville’s grid. We ganged up on Waste Management together when it kept charging us but didn’t pick up our trash for weeks on end. We shamed the postal service into restarting service in our area. We let each other know when we saw a bear or mountain lion on our game cameras. We watched each other’s property since post-fire break-ins began when the sheriff ’s department was stretched too thin to do proper patrols. We complained en masse to Frontier Communications and PG&E for their lackluster delivery of services — as monopolies, they are not prone to put a high priority on customer service. Post-evacuation, we’ve learned a good deal about ourselves. Our humanity came back to us. Our strength was forged in fire."

Many Liberians are descendants of freed American slaves
Liberia's Declaration of Independence in 1847 charged the USA with #racism, violence, and #inequality; that it forced them to leave and create a new nation
Anyway, here's the ignorant orange turd #Trump meeting Joseph #Boakai, the President of Liberia, not knowing that English is the official language of Liberia (not knowing any history, the complete moron)
During a meeting with the leaders of several African nations at the White House, President Donald Trump took a pause Wednesday to compliment Liberian President Joseph Boakai’s English.“Well, thank you,” Trump said after Boakai spoke.
I wonder if ⅔ of Americans realise yet they have made USA one of the most despised, laughed at and loathed nations on the planet bc they're either the ⅓ who voted for Trump or the ⅓ that didn't vote at all ??
@Godfrey642 some are beyond caring, but I want to reach those who couldn't bother to show up , that their voice mattered . I myself can't understand why they would silence their own voice and allow an insane man who is too incompetent to lead a nation take the helm and destroy everything I use to love about our country.
Possible No1 example: “I withheld my vote deciding to martyr my country allowing Darth Moron to trash us because Biden did not stand up against Israel excess in Gaza (even though he’s no longer on the ticket). And so fickle in my brilliance, I’ll let Netanyahu just finish them off, that’ll show them what an unstable genius I am!” 😳
@Huntn00 I mean, blame voters as much as you like, but managing be so incompetent, so unlikable, so without credibility, and dragged down by so much baggage that people took one look at you and thought I might as well risk it on the Big Orange Vulgar Evil? That's weakass weaksauce and the lesser evil should have been ashamed by how garbage tier its performance was.
aka
there's an intersection of blame here where the opposition meets the voter equally in terms of blame.
@Huntn00 Also, I thought there was 70%+ turnout in most of the swing states that were actually battlegrounds? I thought Americans did their part in terms of that.
@Huntn00 They're bad people or people who don't care one way the other. I can't diagnose their mental illness.
I will disagree though. Democrats *are* a worthless center-right vile party of terrible people. But that's because many Americans are also worthless center-right terrible people (and that's not counting the far right lunatic fringe).
It makes sense they would try to appeal to their base.

'Van orakels tot koffiedik kijken – voor veel heersers uit het verleden waren tekens en voorspellingen geen bijgeloof, maar belangrijke hulpmiddelen bij grote beslissingen. Geschiedenisredacteur Bart Funnekotter keek mee in de glazen bol en zocht uit: welke voorspellingen hebben het verloop van de geschiedenis nu écht beïnvloed?'
The image features a graphic with a light green background and a network of interconnected circles, each containing a distinct icon. The title "ONBEHAARDE APEN" is prominently displayed at the top in bold black letters. The icons include a planet with rings, a DNA double helix, a butterfly, a volcano, a microscope with bacteria, a flask with a chemical reaction, a document with a quill, and a silhouette of a person's head. These icons are connected by white lines, suggesting a relationship or flow between them. The logo "nrc" is visible in the bottom left corner, with a red arrow pointing to the right. The overall design is clean and modern, with a focus on scientific and environmental themes.

What does Ian Bremmer think about Elon Musk’s "America Party"? One on hand, unlimited funds + razor thin congressional majorities = major mischief potential.
On the other, the laws of political physics have humbled every third‑party crusader before him.
Life comes at you fast. Only five weeks after vowing to step back from politics and a month after accusing President Donald Trump of being a pedophile, Elon Musk declared his intention to launch a new political party offering Americans an alternative…

"Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of social media giant X, abruptly announced her departure from the company on Wednesday less than a day after the social media platform’s AI chatbot started calling itself “MechaHitler” and promoting a policy of mass extermination.
Writing on X, Yaccarino said that she’d decided to step down “after two incredible years” at the company in which the social media platform formerly known as Twitter unbanned multiple neo-Nazi accounts and then algorithmically promoted their posts.
“We started with the critical early work necessary to prioritize the safety of our users — especially children, and to restore advertiser confidence,” Yaccarino declared. “This team has worked relentlessly from groundbreaking innovations like Community Notes, and, soon, X Money to bringing the most iconic voices and content to the platform. Now, the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with @xai.”

Labour's MPs are trying to get their party to focus on the cost of living issues of their constituents; which may seem odd for a Labour Party, but this is where we are.
The difficulty is the Chancellor & PM are (implicitly) following (shadowing) a trickle down economics line which suggests enhanced 'growth' will benefit everyone, but looking at the recent past this has palpably not been the case as the rich have captured the benefits of growth.
- "Trickle down", like the Laffer Curve, bears no relation to real life. It was a way to justify the unjustifiable huge remuneration increases at the top (just as the Laffer Curve was simultaneously arguing that lower taxation would increase the tax take overall. It is the economics of fairy tales.
Starmer depended on a lot of new back benchers who got in because they were recognised in their communities as good listeners. He should realise he is only PM because of them and should stop corrupting their credibility or he’ll be out

I like being solo support on mercy and just get chased by the enemy the whole time. Like a slippery snake I zip around angering them while I heal my entire team. Im a scary good mercy. I piss off a lot of people.

nonvoters seem to fall into 4 categories, as i see it:
1. egotistical toxic idealism: "i don't get perfect so i can't be bothered"
2. moronic mindless cynicism: "BoTh SiDeS tHe SaMe"
3. ignorant alienated entitlement: "it doesn't affect me"
4. spineless learned helplessness: "yes they fight like crazy over my vote, but somehow i've convinced myself my vote doesn't matter"
those are the big 4 cowardly stupidities i think

the way forward is to make over the democratic party
not voting doesn't work
third party in our stupid FPTP system just divides the left
(or the right, go Elon! 🤣)
so we have to show the fuck up in the primaries
get 50 AOCs
then show the fuck up in the general
"democrats bad" doesn't mean anything
it's not a monolithic omnipotent force of aliens
it's just politicians hewing to whoever shows the fuck up
so make them over in our image
when we vote, they are us

in reply to Ben Royce 🇺🇦 • • •@PatrickoftheG @Huntn00 this part touches on the piece I think many miss
What is the "Democratic party"?
It's a ship of Theseus that sails in whatever direction is set by its current captain and crew.
We could be those people. It would take a few cycles. But it's very possible.
