Wonder why, it has a big airforce base and is close to the border? They didnt quarantine any roads. 10 days is also very very long, like unprecedented without like a 9/11.

Some disease? Getting ready for strikes against Mexico??

Now, we arent the bolsheviks lol, but the bolsheviks managed to win after being an illegal party under the Russian monarchy. I think people dont like social media bans because thats their social world, and they dont or cant meet people irl

Colonel Lockjaw I mean Colonel Quaritch

The advice would probably be the same who get intense climate anxiety. Like, yes, feel your feelings. Don't numb yourself. Grieve or whatever too. But take action as well, its protective of mental health. What action? It actually doesn't matter all that much. For severe climate anxiety, just purposefully recycling, attending climate protests, switching to veganism can help someone get that under control. There's also probably a limit where knowing more and more isnt helping, maybe a bit of a break is needed - whats the point of following this closely if its harming your partner and they arent taking action? Merely knowing the scale of our enemies, frankly, evil doesnt help with winning the struggle against them

For you, I guess just be there and listen, hold them of thats what they want, and suggesting taking actions (even a protest if there is one or maybe starting one) as well as suggesting a media break just for a bit yo bring the salience down. What is to be done, indeed

Russian bear, vodka

Did you know gullible isnt a word in the dictionary? Its also written on the ceiling above you, no idea who did that

He managed to make it through the Lewinsky scandal maybe he thinks he can squeeze through this one

I love the fertility rate collapse story because liberals and capitalists cant solve it and seem unable to see that people arent having children because of capitalism, especially this later stage one. The more right wing among em always insist its pure culture and we just gotta get a different culture - so their hail mary (as stated in the article) is stuff like a national holiday to "celebrate families" and wouldnt you know it, people will be forced to work it regardless lol. Or if they're really using their noodles they'll be like "ah but Taylor Swift having a kid and other celebrities will make people ignore their material conditions and have kids." The really dark ones are when they suggest banning birth control (rates collapsed before birth control and they were higher even when birth control was around for 30 to 40 years before collapsing later), or just straight up forced birth- this is the Musk post unstated suggestion of "we might have to take rights away from women" kind of thing, think Gilead but worse.

Also, the idea of taxing childless people is bad on its face. Like regardless, some people are just infertile through no fault of their own. Tax em for a health condition, sure whatever 🙄 Secondly, we really want parents who only had kids for the tax benefits and not cause they love their kids?? They really can't square the circle while keeping capitalism, and they have to keep capitalism so I guess its just intractable then

He was charged with gross indecency (a sexual crime in our parlance) due to his homosexuality, on the mere fact of his homosexuality not a different act. He underwent chemical castration.

TERF island, the way it's going, I suspect may criminalize being trans - maybe in limited circumstances at first, like being trans and a teacher of young children then widening - and transgender people will be charged with sexual crimes and therefore be subject to chemical castration

I think you should qualify for MAID => "you should kys because you're insane"

Just so we're clear. It's a blue check lib so he tried to say it politely by referencing Canada's goulish innovations in mental healthcare

Gee I wonder what's different
