I don’t know about Canada, but in the U.S. farmers are so subsidized they don’t lose money. A lot of people here still have the false illusion of the hard working small farm farmer. They don’t realize how condensed farming has become.

Every person I’ve known that has a Jeep: I LOVE MY JEEP!

Me: You never have any problems with it?

Everyone: Oh yeah, all the time. But it’s a JEEP!

I know to a rational person it may seem that way, but the Republican party isn’t rational.

SCOTUS has given the green light for every state to gerrymander districts as much as they can. There’s more red states than blue states in the U.S., and as long as people stay in the Trump cult, and/or are willfully stupid, it’s going to be tough to have real change. They’ll just keep burning their own house down to spite their neighbors.

I know the recent special elections have flipped seats, but I think it’s way too early to say the Republican party is in trouble. The U.S. has a lot of racist dumb people.

It’s possible to simultaneously think there are issues with the Chinese government and U.S. government.  You could mention 3 June 1989 I’m China or Epstein files in the U.S.

What complicated things was the U.S. attacking Iran.

Russia could just leave and end the war.

None should still be supporting Twitter.

“AIPAC’s influence has become a flashpoint inside the Democratic Party, as leaders struggle to respond to rapidly shifting views about Israel among progressives, especially in the wake of the war in Gaza and amid the current U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.”

Just say you’re against genocide from any country. Fucking Democrat leadership this isn’t that hard.

Yes, Israel is going to say it’s not genocide and Trump is going to say he doesn’t have dementia. You don’t have to agree with either of them.

Reddit makes money through advertising like most other social media. They might talk a big game of removing bots, but at the end of the day, they want advertisers to think they have as many people as possible engaged on their site.

Unless advertisers start forcing them to prove accounts are real, I have doubts how much Reddit will actually change anything.

And who’s going to tell their boss to stop advertising on Reddit, when you’re competition is still advertising there?

Without murdering innocent people.

Meanwhile the U.S. military budget is $892 billion and the war against Iran is costing about $11 billion a week.

“The Department of Agriculture also notes it previously announced $12 billion in one-time payments to help farmers offset losses primarily due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.”

They vote for the war starting xenophobic racist, then cry they need more money, because they got fucked over with everyone else, and the government cuts them a check. Rinse and repeat.

If they get any government grants, the grants often require specific data about about who’s using the service and how much they use it.

I don’t know if they get grants, but I know that can be challenge for non-profits.

Concerned about placards and chants… while Israel continues the genocide against Palestine.

The research paper isn’t saying same sex sexuality began with primates, just that this research is only about primates.
