The fediverse has so little content that it makes it hard to imagine anyone paying for something that gives you less content and participation than any unregistered lurker gets from something like reddit for free

this is true and it relates to this topic because multiple studies have shown that unions don't survive if brown people make up too big of a percentage of the workers; so if you're going to talk to a union and you see more white faces than any other, you now know to whom you're talking to and can start to understand why trump will always have an audience with union members despite trump himself being anti-union.
We’re not stupid. We’re scared.
too scared. i very recently spent five years in austin and i learned that the 1) liberal texans are only liberal compared to other texans 2) they readily and easily shrug their shoulders in accepting defeat from institutions that they already know are racist, homophobic, sexist, and classicist and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else and 3) will fight and report you to the authorities from those same institutions if you try to do ANYTHING else; my favorite examples are of californians disabling driver-less taxis with traffic cones and new-mexicans pelting short term rentals with eggs and bologna, meanwhile liberal austinites will literally call the cops on you if do either of these (ask me how i know).
i too used to think of it like that until i did that; now i just get aroused at the memory of having a big ass lunch. lol
not unless biden can help it, again.
the article should be shortened down to this one paragraph to understand why they're just sitting there and letting it happen; tldr, the black caucus is a center right organization that's friendly right leaning causes like aipac:
More centrist CBC members and their political allies have been involved in combatting progressive gains in the Democratic Party. In June 2021, Jeffries, along with Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Terri Sewell, D-Ala., another recipient of AIPAC cash, launched Team Blue PAC to protect Democratic members facing primary challenges from their left. And last June, Democratic operatives closely aligned with CBC leaders launched a new dark-money group to fend off primary challengers.
it strikes me as cunning because canada's allies have already ignored canada's pleas to side w them (per another article) out of fear of alienating india further after india ignored demands when it comes to both russia and china.
like khashoggi and very MANY others, nijjar is the price paid for maintaining this hegemony.
and it'll also explain why nothing will come of it too.
Winn is the sort of evil you meet on the subway, everyone knows one or two of her, and that hits harder
i wonder if that's what inspired her for this role.
she was brilliant in ds9 and then she literally made me yell at the screen in anger when she played grandma gallagher in shameless.
and then i watched big sky and she touched my heart as the all-seeing/all-caring small town school teacher; fletcher was incredible.
It's always been this way; it's merely that people like her volunteered to be the face of the party to sell to dumbass indecisive moderates the facade that her party is reasonable and has reasonable options.
