  • Why did Mark Zuckerberg end Facebook and Instagram’s factchecking program?

    Jump

  • analysts expect minimal financial impact on Meta

    Let's make the analysts wrong and boycott Meta products. Quit Facebook, Instagram and Threads.

    There's a common saying; If 9 people sit down at a table with 1 Nazi without protest, there are 10 Nazis at the table. The people at Meta are like the 9 people, they pretend to act ignorant but they know exactly what they are doing. They care more about profits than they care about the country so we must make it so they loose big from this decision.

  • 'A deal that must happen': Trump celebrates as son Don Jr. arrives in Greenland

    Jump

  • Everything under Trump seems to trace back to Putin. I think they are doing this to give false legitimacy to Putin's invasion into Ukraine. They will say "See? America is doing it so we can too".

  • Trump refuses to rule out use of military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal

    Jump

  • I would love too. I really don't think America should invade any country. One thing everyone can do no matter what country they live in you can boycott Tesla and Twitter. Musk is going to be a major funder of the GOP so ending his propaganda megaphone and wealth could change the course of events.

  • Governments should not be using Twitter. They should all move to Bluesky and Mastodon. If you still have a Twitter account please only use it to encourage people to migrate to other platforms. Don't use it for anything else.

  • Do not despair. Nothing in politics is permanent. It may be difficult but we can solve this together. Be sure to read this article to the end where it has the calls to action. Those are all good ideas. In addition I want to mention:

    One thing everyone should do is vote in every election, even local elections.

    Also specifically for when it mentions public funding try calling your representative and asking for this. It does matter.

    In addition also work to defund right wing propaganda by calling advertisers and urge them to stop advertising on Fox and other right wing stations. Also if you have a TV subscription make sure the package doesn't include Fox News. If it's impossible to remove Fox News call the company and ask for a no Fox option. If enough people call they may one day offer it. This step is important because Fox News gets most of its money from carriage fees.

    In addition boycott Twitter/X and also Meta (Facebook/Instagram/Threads) and switch to Mastodon and Bluesky. Make sure your friends do the same.

  • I think public funding with independent editorial control is the way to go. It's not perfect by any means but it's the best we have.

  • "I'm really starting to regret my vote"

    Jump

  • It's true. It's sad seeing how many people are still in the cult.

  • I don't hope anyone suffers. I wish people could reflect on themselves and be better people.

  • TIL the New York Post was purchased by Rupert Murdoch in 1976 and then lost money every year until September 2022 when it became profitable, posting a profit for the quarter and year to date.

    Jump

  • Exactly! Twitter cost $44 billion but his wealth doubled from $200 billion to $400 billion after becoming President of the United States along with co-president Trump.

  • Democratic strategist calls for ‘new generation of leaders’ as party plots response to Trump’s victory

    Jump

  • I get what you're saying there. I should have read the article closer. Yes, you're right about that.

  • Democratic strategist calls for ‘new generation of leaders’ as party plots response to Trump’s victory

    Jump

  • I read the article and it doesn't really seem that bad. What he says is this:

    “Basically what the party needs is some sort of a force – whoever it is – of people who are perceived as future leaders going out and saying: this is what we want this party to stand for. I did it in the 80s and 90s. They can decide what’s appropriate for the 20s and 30s.”

    He's not telling us how he wants the party changed, he's just calling for a big visible change in the party that will help us win elections again.

  • How the Democrats wandered away from America’s workers

    Jump

  • It's shocking how often people blame Democrats for things which are clearly Republicans' fault. If Democrats had better margins and were elected more often working class people would have much better lives.

  • TIL Trumpery is a noun or adjective that means worthless nonsense, trivial or useless articles, or tawdry finery. It derives from the Middle French tromper, meaning "to deceive."

  • LA Times staffers say owner’s pro-Trump meddling worse than previously reported

    Jump

  • Wikipedia says:

    The shift in Trump's speeches by 2024 towards shorter sentences, more tangents, more repetition, more all-or-nothing thinking and more confusion of words and phrases could indicate cognitive decline.

  • Elon Musk Met With Nigel Farage at Mar-a-Lago

    Jump

  • This shows that no country is safe from Elon Musk's infinite thirst for power and money. You can help put a stop to Musk's evil agenda by urging everyone you know to stop using Twitter and boycott Telsa. In addition workers who work for Twitter and Tesla should go on strike. Also Elon Musk or should I say Felon Musk should be held accountable for all the laws he's broken.

  • Voting does change things. That's why Republicans are trying to suppress your vote. So yes people do want to make voting illegal because it does change things.

  • Twitter's Traffic Falling Relative to Bluesky

    Jump

  • Good! Let's work to keep the momentum going and encourage everyone you know to boycott Twitter/X. If you still use Twitter/X make a post saying you can find me on Lemmy/Bluesky/Mastodon or whatever website/app you choose to replace it.

    Don't let Elon Musk control you and your country, stop Twitter/X now!
