It’s really interesting seeing the explicit push into demoralization and pacification of the population and any kind of pushback against the fascist autocracy set to take over tomorrow.
There is an emerging conventional wisdom that resistance to Trump went too far and I am going to lose my mind.

“I’ll stop drinking if you let me run the Pentagon” is maybe the most alcoholic thing anyone has ever said

TL;DR version: we're not going to have an administrative state anymore.
No consumer protections. No environmental protections. No workplace protections. No financial reporting protections.
It's going to be great for plutocrats, right up until the next economic collapse.

not to be too harsh but what’s the use of transgender representation in congress if they will immediately give in to fascist demands. genuinely what’s the purpose to this at all here
1. Transgender Congresswoman Sarah McBride has announced that she will comply with Speaker Johnson's policy declaring her a man and banning trans people from bathrooms.
She is receiving sharp critiques from those with trans friends who work in the capitol.

Congresswoman McBride Announces She Will Comply With Rules Declaring Her a Man
The decision comes after Mike Johnson declared that transgender people are not allowed in bathrooms of their gender identity under the provision that he "controls the facilities."

the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?

I’m going to say something historians rarely say.
We haven’t been here before.
We haven’t had a near-authoritarian takeover of our government.
Admittedly, we don’t know what comes next.
There’s a wide array of options.
But know that in the US, this is new ground. And none of this is normal.

The only reason anti-vax attitudes were able to take root in the modern era is because vaccines are so fucking good at their job people forgot why we need them

I know everyone says this, but the amount of STUFF libraries have available digitally is just breathtaking. My library system here in Baton Rouge has thousands of Udemy courses available. And they're free! They're so free.

Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget
