Leaving this here because I'm tired of explaining things, genuinely. Elon Musk wants to use your country as his Minecraft creative mode playground. Please get some fucking sense and love your fellow person I AM BEGGING YOU.

Take note— NOW is the time to look into these amazing resources and make what you can available to yourself OFFLINE. I’ve been downloading as many important books as I can from project Gutenberg, and I’ve downloaded ALL of Wikipedia offline (yes, you can do that!!) through Kiwix. I’ve also been using Kiwix’s other wiki libraries to download essential databases and pdfs such as info on emergency medicine, govt info on medications and disaster preparedness that was archived before the new administration, and anything else that is critical to know and have available outside of the internet. Information IS power— don’t let anyone censor crucial info you have a right to know!!

How do we get MAGA people to wake up. 😭😭

Donald Trump is manipulating you. He was hearing what you needed and telling you everything you wanted to hear in order to get elected. Now that he’s elected he’s trying to pass laws that benefit the billionaires and corporations.

Like we all agree that politicians are slimy. The media is full of propaganda. We all agree that there is a lot of wasteful spending but to take the money away from everyday Americans? Is that really the answer?

Humans DO NOT deserve to suffer. We deserve to have our basic needs met. We deserve to enjoy life. Yes our system does need to change but to give billionaires control over that change is not the answer. Please do not blindly follow such an angry man.

These are not “lies being pushed by the left”. These are true things that are happening now and its just gets worse and worse.

If some people aren’t free (trans, POC, immigrants) nobody is free. They will continue to take from us because they don’t care about us. They just want money and power. Please don’t be fighting for another dictator.

Wake up

Why do Trump supporters think we love Biden the way they love Trump? Bidens approval ratings were so bad he had to drop out. Every time someone tries to educate them they are always like “well Biden did this….”. BRO we don’t think about Biden as much as you.

Can we not ignore what Trump is doing because Biden or Obama did x,y,x? Even though they believe whatever daddy Trump or Elon says.

Don’t forget Musk owns X.

Bezos owns Washington Post and Twitch.

Zuckerberg owns Meta (Facebook and Instagram, etc)

Trump “saved” TikTok so we will see how that plays out.

Our media is owned by billionaires that have gotten richer since Trump took office.

Please wake the fuck up because we all need to work together to save the country from an oligarchy.

So I've seen people say in the midst of all the bad shit that's been happening over the last three weeks, I've seen people just keep on saying "just wait and hold off until the midterms!".

And I'll be honest. With the recent attempted implication of the SAVE ACT, which screws over women and keep in mind with time it will trickle down to Non-White people:

I believe we can say that free and fair elections are a thing of the past and we'll need to take matters into our own hands.....and it's up to US.

anything that contains the phrase “secret BBC memo reveals” intrigues me automatically ngl but I want you all to know that as far as I can gather, the facts are even better than this headline

which is to say, this was part of an initiative in the early 1970s that not only featured marginalized groups on BBC programming, but made moves towards handing them editorial control – the BBC had to approve proposals, but after that, the station’s role was primarily to provide technical resources, facilities, and copyright handling. (another notable program under this initiative featured Black teachers discussing racism in the school system, and a link to that – plus discussion of the hurdles it faced – can be found here).

the program on trans experience was aired in 1973.

The programme, featuring trans women, began: “Jokes about ‘the operation’ are all that most people know about transexualism [sic]. Tonight’s group discuss their situation in a more serious and comprehensive way, and draw attention to the many difficulties they endure”.

you can watch Open Door: Transex Liberation Group here (as well as other archived LGBTQ programming from BBC).

Does anyone else remember when Elon was like "if anyone knows how to end world hunger for 6 billion USD, I'll fund it" and UNICEF was like "we're going to spend a month to make a plan to end world hunger for 6 billion USD and Elon is going to fund it" and Elon was like "actually, nah" and then bought Twitter instead?

I think that was one of the worst things I'll ever see in my life.

I still think that should be the thing for which he's the most famous. It should be brought up every time he's mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. "Elon Musk, who was offered a chance to end world hunger and turned it down." Put it on his fucking gravestone.

This is insane

the podcast ‘endless thread’ did an episode on this called ‘catfish for dinner’ where they investigated the origin of the story! tl;dr a tiktoker who posts fake drama stories made it up for clout and it’s based on nothing.

Sounds like something that would happen to me.

If it were real, then no one would trust fast food joints again because they might pull that stunt on them to.

that is exactly my point of view. if all people were given universal basic income, we could have tens of thousands of boring, tedious, dangerous, and long term harmful jobs done by robots, while humans are free to explore their passions without fear of poverty and homelessness.

in a good society, automation means a boom in the arts. language, painting, music, dance, writing, philosophy, architecture, etc. these are the sectors that advance tremendously during periods of human health and flourishing

Back in the 1960s, we were told that automation and rising productivity would mean shorter work weeks with higher pay. Instead we have multibillionaires, growing poverty, and crumbling infrastructure. The money is all there, it’s just being hoarded.
