Same, but that's how they got to being in power is by slim margins and treating workers poorly. I'm buying from more "safe" corporations and local anytime I can, or looking on eBay for things I'd have gotten on Amazon. If time isn't a factor ordering from Aliexpress works too, it's Amazon's source.

Yes! Fridays are often my grocery shopping days (Aldi + Kroger), but I am abstaining today and will deal with the annoyingness of shopping on the weekend 😬

The only place I plan to shop today is at a very small local market for a few food items we need.

Also "That's what this all is. It's a giant churning machine and it makes monsters out of men and I've had to be a monster just to try and stop it. Don't think it's lost on me that that makes the machine work."

And now impeach the traitor

Fr. Martin is a Jesuit who does LGBTQ+ outreach, so the majority of Catholics already hate him because he's not a completely hateful authoritarian prick. Now if the right-wing MAGA Catholic priests and personalities came out and said something similar, that'd be news.

Yes, it is key that anyone bringing up election doubt needs to succinctly relate what about it was wrong. MAGA are the ones who baselessly claim "Biden stole the election," we can be the ones to highlight things grounded in reality like voter suppression. Speculation and feelings don't help anyone.

I mean, yeah, it already looks like a shithole, what would Trump even do with the property? Think of all the housing, community spaces, gardens, etc. they could do with that land!

He sounds like our city's mayor, who makes up fantastical claims of corruption but has never once in 4 years given a shred of evidence. Can you guess which presidential candidate he supported? 🙄

The room is now filled entirely with conservative/MAGA shills, so probably not.
