sorry but this is just wrong. yes, there’s a bad faith media feeding frenzy. but *fifty million* people watched Biden sputter his way through that debate. it is not a creation of the media, it is a real problem.

Also, the American education system explicitly promotes the idea of the US as a democracy since its foundation. American history classes are hagiographic by design leading to a deliberate culture of ignorance. That's why most native born Americans couldn't pass their own citizenship exam if pressed.

A lot of people don't realize the US was an authoritarian system bc it didn't look like the ones we know the best. In those ones they restrict contestation (parties that can run for office) but in the US we restricted who could vote

I feel the Skepticism you hear from some when they seem utterly baffled that people would actually believe a second Trump term would bring authoritarian and anti democratic backsliding is rooted in, among other things, 1) not realizing that if something like that occurs, it’s not gonna have…

…the dramatic sweep or bang of a March on Rome, it’s gonna feel a lot more “normal” than that and therefore easier to dismiss by many elite pundits 2) ask an older Black voter if it’s hard to believe that America may no longer be a democracy at some point in its modern history.

For most of its history, America hasn’t been a democracy, by any meaningful definition of the term! This isn’t some It Can’t Happen Here shit, in a way, it’s already happened. It just may not have directly affected you.

People act like OSHA is this gang of fun-haters who make up stupid rules to make their jobs annoying. Literally every single regulation OSHA has ever written was in response to someone getting maimed; usually killed, but sometimes merely losing a limb or two. Occasionally breathing corrosive gas.

Imagine being so ignorant. Social media drove the global BLM protests of 2020. Social media is driving pro-Palestine protests globally now. If you think there is no value to it then you're genuinely welcome to just shut up and log off.

Like CNBC hosts will have a story where it's like "Bayer killed 2 million babies and here's how the stock can rebound in the next 6 months 😉" It's capitalist ideology distilled to its purest form. There was no liberal pretending that good companies will do better being good.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

Alt Text is something that’s discussed a lot when it comes to little things that you can do to help disabled folks out on all social spaces. Considering it’s Disability Pride Month, take the time to listen to disabled folks when they say there are things you can do to help like in this thread! 👇🏾

That you are, I did not expect that kind of reaction to the Gaiman comparison. IDK, pirate a copy of some of the old Dark Horse comics and you might start to see it in a new light; or don't, no fuzz off my Jawa.

There have been a great many injustices and insults done in the process of the mouse's Acquisition of Star Wars, but no-one and nothing has been more maligned, more minimized, had more wrong done to them than the noble Z-95 Headhunter. We pilots of the spaceways remember you, old friend.
