Long term computer programmer, making my own library. American based. Far left politically. Politics centered around promoting use of paper ballots. Follows news about environmental collapse, political corruption in my country, human rights, science and tech.

  • TIL About the Smoot-Hawley Act, Which was the 20% Across the Board Tariff That Deepened the Great Depression and Resulted in the Largest Senate Seat Loss in History

  • They did not have computerized voting back then, it was paper ballots mostly. Until then I fully expect the same voting patterns as the last generation to continue; yes, democrats will win more at the mid terms. No, little will change. I fully expect democrats to win solid majorities in both houses in 2026.

    Americans, as a group, should look at exit polls and understand them, and use paper ballots as the rule, not the exception. Until then, it’s just an oligarchy. And they don’t have our backs .

    But I don’t think it will change any time soon

  • Well, I don’t think he should advertise that; but then again these people are more like politicians than leaders.

  • And the mention of his ribbon. I know many here sympathize with that, but peoples who care about the Palestinian cause will see that poorly, and react poorly indeed.

    It’s a poor choice in his public relations to do that after such a successful speech

  • Trump approval falls to 43%, lowest since returning to office, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

  • after much bad his approval should sink 5 more points.

  • It’s Ironic the United States will be hoisted on its own petard. The unchecked powers that helped allow financial dominance for years is now a weapon against itself.

    But can’t be helped because there is a lot of money to be squeezed out of this country. Which now that I think about it, resembles a piggy bank ready for slaughter

  • Cory Booker sets a record with marathon Senate speech. Will it rally anti-Trump resistance?

  • Few things are as violent and shitty as forcing births on people.

  • Publisher’s Firing Shows Double Standard in Israel/Palestine Cartooning

    Jump

  • Two takeaways I noted was that the majority of people censoring these cartoons consider themselves part of Democratic Party.

    Every large party has their extremists, I am not attacking them on that.

    But people who oppress one group find it easy to change their targets, historically. This is very well documented in many languages and histories.

    Which is my second point: many of these will join forces with authoritarians should that happen to their government ; and do it openly, some will have what the them are good arguments.

    And it’s not only anti Palestinians, pro Israeli.

    There will be a lot of new political bedfellows, and it’s going to surprise many.

  • King wrote this in the 1960s, but it applies equally to fascism today

    I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice

  • Controlled opposition and an apathetic population be like that when the crises strikes.

  • It’s a planned disabling of ss.

    The trepidation of news sources, or even most social media, to call it deliberate sabotage, gives them cover.

    The majority of the American public does not deal at all with this level of tech. And the small percentage of people who understand can not influence anything.
