Recession, tariffs, no due process, people with papers being deported, measles, no environmental or food protections, state sponsored religion, state control of school curriculum and staffing, the elimination of safety nets for poor and sick Americans, the president selling meme coins, the dismantling of independent journalism, increased government handouts to billionaires, etc.
Where does this rank on the list of multiple issues at once?
Edit: oh and how could I forget the entire first world economy pulling away from US bonds and allegiance, setting the US up for a massive debt crisis and depression.
Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don’t hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don’t care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.
I am all for coordinated movements, but organize with who, plan what, act how?
I see this kind of sentiment all the time on Lemmy and generally agree with it, but it feels like platitudes at this point when no one can recommend any concrete action.
Is Biden currently in charge? No, it’s Trump and we need to deal with him now instead of putting the focus on what the Democrats did in the previous administration. Unless you’re suggesting we ignore Trump and continue to blame Biden of genocide?

Also bird flu, climate change, housing bubble bursting, high likelihood of food supply storage and that kid back on the fucking escalator.

It’s from Mallrats. Pretty old reference but Lemmy trends to the older crowd.

Clearly you don’t understand, both sides did something I don’t like, which makes them the same

Look for local mutual aid groups, get stuck in
Unfortunately we can’t change the past. We need to focus on Trump who is very open about accelerating the genocide plan.
So, democrats are going to start opposing genocide?
