What law changed that this year we hit pay walls now on almost every news article?This can't be a sustainable model and is yet more polarizing. Is anyone paying these? Who wants a million different subscriptions to manage? Nor do I want news "curated" for me by one subscription source like Apple.
Around a $trillion would go a long way to funding Medicare for all, a decent housing program, world class social security, drug treatment centres, world class free eduction and feeding the poor. You could even have a gun buy-back scheme to reduce school shootings. …and money left over.
A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

If Chuck Schumer votes for cloture tomorrow, it’s proof that he’s weak and is a clear sign that we need new Democratic leadership. Polling shows that only 22% of independents would blame Democrats for a shutdown, while 56% would blame the GOP or Trump. Americans want Democrats to FIGHT, not CAVE!!!

Lukemas 🎅🎄@lukeacl.com · 2y agoBluesky will attract bad actors, it's not immune. The good news is you don't have to block them one by one, Bluesky has moderation lists managed by others (or even you) to help you mass block accounts as they turn up. All you need to do is visit the list, hit subscribe, then choose block or mute.
The MAGA trolls are arriving now and voicing their intentions to deliberately cause descension and "trigger liberals" here in our Blue Sky community. Don't engage with them at all which is what they want, block and be sure to report if they're mocking, disrespectful, etc.
