politics @lemmy.world•JUST IN: House Democrats File Bill to Form 25th Amendment Commission to Assess Trump’s Mental Fitness
1·18 hours agoThe Democrats have no credible path to stopping the GOP, demonstrated more than once.
Credible is just nonsense to justify refusing politics by the lazy.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I think the biggest disservice that I received from my US Public School education was being taught that the civil rights movement was something from the past.
2·21 hours agoheh yeah - his Cartoon Guide to the Computer actually has one of the best explanations of how basic circuts are translated into boolean logic of ANY source out there, still.

5·22 hours agoDefinitely read the book This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed.
Non-violence by the SCPP is now treated as not only their only tactic, but the only valid tactic ever. But that’s historically just not true. Even Dr. King and others realized that their tactic of non-violence was working with other groups who were not pledged to non-violence - and in the setting where the US was worried about its image versus the USSR in the third world. Nor was it the primary driver of what limited success the movement had.

4·22 hours agoLarry Gonick drew heavily from A People’s History of The United States, to his credit. I gave these to all the kids in the family.
If you haven’t read The Cartoon History of The Universe, I cannot recommend it enough.

1·22 hours agoThere’s real immediate harm you create by voting for the Democrats under current leadership, and that’s opportunity cost. You’re allowing a group which is doing nothing to combat Trump and the GOP to maintain positions of power and organize resistance to them to their own benefit.
No Kings is the best you’re going to get out of them, and it’s nowhere near enough.

1·2 days agoCompletely agree - the US empire has never worked for the US people, but global capital, which moved to the US as the British empire fell.
How else are they supposed to get houses for settlers from New Jersey?

23·3 days agoIronically, Dave’s entire argument has always been an idpol one. You can’t criticize him, because as a Black man (even a millionaire) he’s more oppressed than any other group.
And, like always, idpol over intersectionality is used to maintain the existing hierarchy. Guess what Dave, the leopards did eat your face.
