#actuallyautistic Late-diagnosed, still sorting that part out. Software professional, dad, serial-interest-haver

Current special interests: competitive cycling, cooking from scratch , learning the history we weren't taught, unpacking my own neurodiversity
Pinned
Getting an autism Dx as an adult is both validating and tough.
On the one hand, all those misunderstood moments? Not evidence there's anything wrong with me (which I'd pretty deeply internalized), but at the same time, the most-prevalent feel is of grief, that I felt for so long that there is
Watching as new disclosures from Epstein's Op paint a broader picture: our elites are bullies blackmailing each other over shameful things they enable and cover up.
The problem isn't bad apples, it's that wealthy terrible people face no accountability

Trump said he’d be “honored” to release SNAP funds with guidance from the courts.

Today, he got that guidance from Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island, FOR THE SECOND TIME.

And he immediately appealed.

If you're a centrist because you believe the path to civility is to be found in compromise between that of the left and the right, consider that compromising on matters of human rights isn't a neutral position majorities want, and nobody but corporate interests want unrestrained corporate power

Do you like Reddit for the content but not like that the ownership are shitty?
lemmy.world is one of many federated lemmy instances that function like reddit but aren't beholden to venture capital or enshittifying themselves in service of AI
Lemmy.World - A generic Lemmy server for everyone to use.

To the people making arguments that SNAP should only cover meat, vegetables and un-extravagant food because it's 'not fair' to people that are working and can't afford fancy food:

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

The US is building slave labour camps.

Dachau and Auschwitz are being rebuilt on American soil.

The US is committing genocide.

All methods of self or community defense against genocide are justified and valid.

All actions against the people committing genocide are self defense.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

When watching the debates, a tip:
The candidate who knows his program won't appeal to majorities will invariably attempt to convince majorities that they need to sacrifice yet more deeply in order to compensate for the failures caused by his unpopular program, like serving the rich at your expense

It should go without saying that funding government operations with private capital during a shutdown to avoid having to negotiate terms to end the shutdown wildly exceeds executive authority, folks

The “you can’t trust the government or the media” crowd voted to give full control of the federal government to an administration that lies shamelessly to them nonstop through media outlets and platforms slavishly beholden to the party, and the “you can’t trust…” crowd appears to be loving it.

Getting lots of 'what do I have to say to convince you to give me money?' messaging from establishment Dems right now.

Show me, don't tell me, that you have actual beliefs you're willing to stand by that aren't 'we need money to win'.
Stop funding Israel, stand up for marginal groups, tax the rich

What they call their 'heritage' and are desperate to defend is the propaganda that painted their movements as valorous or justified
What scares them to shitting themselves is any revelation of truth that shows it wasn't

what I'm learning from the fact that every one of these decisions has a "huge merger waiting to be approved" factor is that we should no longer allow mergers

sorry, you can't buy any other companies anymore, too dangerous to civil society

only antitrust breakups allowed

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Let this be your periodic reminder that arguments like <we should condemn political violence> offered to stoke outrage at violence against one side but not the other are 100% offered in bad faith.
Don't let your agreement that civility ought to matter trick you to accept uncivil double-standards
Exactly. George Floyd had a family and was murdered on TV too.
