Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???
So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"
But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????

You really shouldn't be calling AMAB non-binary people "Jakey". Like people have got to stop treating AMAB non-binaries (even ones who are ultimately still TME) as "weird cis men who we sometimes play along with if we're feeling nice"; it's a socially reactionary and interpersonally shitty thing to do

hii so the state of missouri is trying to propose a bill that will allow the government to hunt down migrants and place them in concentration camps!
theyre bribing people to report undocumented immigrants for a reward of $1,000. this is clearly an excuse to detain people of color as there is no way to tell if someone is here legally based purely on the color of their skin. anyone found guilty will serve life imprisonment.
link to the bill
if youre from missouri please sign this petition.
please share this.

Nearly 100 journalists and other members of civil society using WhatsApp, the popular messaging app owned by Meta, were targeted by spyware owned by Paragon Solutions, an Israeli maker of hacking software, the company alleged on Friday.
The journalists and other civil society members were being alerted of a possible breach of their devices, with WhatsApp telling the Guardian it had “high confidence” that the 90 users in question had been targeted and “possibly compromised”.
It is not clear who was behind the attack. Like other spyware makers, Paragon’s hacking software is used by government clients and WhatsApp said it had not been able to identify the clients who ordered the alleged attacks.
Experts said the targeting was a “zero-click” attack, which means targets would not have had to click on any malicious links to be infected.
WhatsApp declined to disclose where the journalists and members of civil society were based, including whether they were based in the US.
Paragon has a US office in Chantilly, Virginia. The company has faced recent scrutiny after Wired magazine in October reported that it had entered into a $2m contract with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s homeland security investigations division.

do other countries have a groundhog day? do you all gather on February second and watch with bated breathe as a groundhog emerges from its hole? do you forecast the next six weeks of weather based on if the groundhog is frightened by its own shadow and returns to the hole?

I’ve been thinking too much about Wapeach this week. She gets hired by the Warios who want the status of having their own Princess. My hc is she slowly gets invested and ends up going full ohohoho-style villain after her and her boys get beaten down too many times

the james damore affair is one of those instances where the actual content of what he got pilloried over (for biological reasons women are less likely than men to take an interest in programming) are less outrageous than what he is remembered by hostile interpreters as saying (women are biologically too dumb to code), but the difference is small enough that if you are up in arms abt the first you will not be mollified by learning its the second so theres no real reason for critics to keep one anothers facts straight. which, one suspects, teaches onlookers unsympathetic to the critics position that theres no reason to moderate their claims as far as pushback goes. not an encouraging dynamic!
