To that mother:

If I ever get the chance to heckle jd vance in person, I’d happily use my defcon 1 voice to make sure he feels uncomfortable, shamed, and involuntarily pees his pants.

Making up figures/numbers … smh. Nineteen eighty-four gets more relevant by the day.

After reading this comment, I downloaded it and am liking it so far. Thanks for spreading the word about it!

As a US citizen and Canada/Ukraine/EU/democracy supporter; I pray someone or some group finally takes off all kiddie gloves and gives trump (and thereby me and others in the country as collateral) a divine smackdown to finally make that fucker or at least those close to him realize the world and history won’t stand for his/their fascist putin titty-sucking antics.

As long as elon and trump pledge to chug first.

Shit, I’m angry for you. You come off as totally sensible and preaching facts to the choir.

Drives me mad how we have not thrown down greedy medical practices in favor of universal healthcare yet 🙄 but I guess that’s too close to the socialist sun 😒

For those who are feeling disheartened or numb and want/need a little push to get things started, you should check out AOC’s video she posted. It’s like an hour and a half long but she does a good job breaking down the situation, acknowledging the challenges, but also provides examples of things you and everyone else can do to resist.

In her own words/examples, you don’t have to feel like it’s all on just you to rollback illegal FAA staff appointments, to stop musk harvesting USAID, etc. There are specific concrete actions you can take within your capacity to make a difference.

Ahh can’t escape the ghost of chromium I see. No offense taken from anyone who bashes on Vivaldi as I’m not dying on a hill to defend it, but of the browsers I’ve used I like the balance it strikes between what compromises that were made.

Funny enough, before making the switch to it as my main browser, I gave Firefox another shot and liked most of the experience. I also remembered using it quite a bit in middle/high school and generally had a positive experience from those times.

I only decided to go with Vivaldi instead due to the ease of customization over the gui and how certain elements could be dynamically hidden/shown as needed. It was a niche demand of a browser on my part. I remember having a somewhat rough time getting Firefox to do similar things while not intruding on the look or function of other parts of the browser, but I haven’t looked at Firefox recently and how the UX has changed since, and if it weren’t for the previously mentioned personal/niche functionality I was looking for, I think I would have stuck with Firefox over Chrome.

How about Vivaldi?? I’ve switched since last year and it’s been pretty great of a browser. There’s the focus on privacy, ethical/transparent policies, and its development team are users of fediverse socials!

But führer musk is rich so he doesn’t have to play by acting-president trump’s rules.

He might have been looking in a mirror when thinking of what kind of demographic to blame

Now I’m curious if the vpn I use will consider a similar approach going forward (PIA).

Sure he said he was going to do those things and had weapons, but for all we know, he could be a “fine person, a great man” there to “peacefully protest” like those that got pardoned for Jan 6th. 😒

I can see how some people can be a tad dramatic at times with rhetoric, but the writing is on the wall in regard to the Nazi salute Elon Musk did at his speech. You have to call a pig, a pig, no matter how much lipstick it might have on to distract you from the fact otherwise.

But I digress a bit. What exactly is the point you were referring to, that I and others seem to be missing? That Trump’s words are just words and because other people who don’t have anywhere near the power/authority/wealth say things in a similar manner back at him/his “friends” his actions and speech should be dismissed, justified even??
