She tried to introduce an amendment about Hungarians in Ukraine not being allowed to speak their native language.

It’s an extremely obscure conspiracy theory that happens to be one of Putin’s big talking points. He brought it up in the Tucker Carlson interview. How the fuck does MTG know anything about ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia and what language they speak? She can barely string a sentence together herself.

Bernie: Here’s a bill that will help literally everyone. People waste less of their lives at work, and productivity goes up massively for the corporate overlords. There is no downside here for anyone.

Everyone: Shut up, hippy.

Zuckerberg said. “Mental health is a complex issue and the existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link between using social media and young people having worse mental health outcomes.”

Non-apology followed by an actual denial. Very misleading headline.

The Secret Service was in on January 6, or at least a faction within the Secret Service. Pence was aware of it. That’s why he refused to get in a car with other agents and only trusted his own personal detail.

“My cousin Nanni in Akkadia warned me not to buy copper from you, but I foolishly did not heed his warning…”

NLRB contact details If workers provide a service, they should be allowed to bargain collectively to be adequately paid for that service. Full stop.

The Vampire Squid cares not where the money comes from, just that the money flows. Helping the Chinese buy a cybersecurity company that works with the British government? The money must flow.

You don’t need a shadowy conspiracy when you make it legal to bribe politicians and write the laws for them. It’s all done out in the open. Regulators and board rooms have revolving doors for the same few people, and they all make insanely disgusting amounts of money while the rest of us suffer.

Separation of church and state was created to protect both the state AND the church. Churches are not supposed to be political organizations for their own good. Dividing into camps along political lines and shouting at each other is what happens out in the world. It’s not supposed to happen at church.

In 2021, for example, the FBI ran more than 3.3 million queries through the Section 702 database, according to a government transparency report.

3.3 million spies of the Patriot Act. It’s set to expire this year, but they’ll reauthorize it. No one is strong enough to throw the ring into the fire.

Cyrano de Bergerac updated for the techno-fascist, neofeudalist hellscape that is the modern world.

Republicans have been actively attacking and undermining American schools for decades. These depleted schools have produced legions of people who can’t discern truth from falsity and have absolutely no curiosity about the rest of the world. Facebook and the television tell them liberals are bad and the cause of all their problems. They don’t question it.

Always love to hear the deep lore. Lemmy’s early development makes a lot more sense now. Good on them(you) to leave everything open and learn from Reddit’s mistakes.

Still, free and open has a limit. No Facebook and no Nazis. That’s just common sense everyone used to have.

A great victory for law, order, and democracy. Autocrats who seek to undermine elections in order to secure their own power have no place in a free and democratic society.
