This implies it’s falling on its own.

There should be a mass of red hats trying to push it over.

Entenmann’s donuts were buy one get one free right after the election. Bless Trump for turning donuts to twice as many just by thought alone!

Nope, the president wakes up every morning and sets the price based on how many times he had to get up in the middle of the night to pee.

I paid 2.45 which is basically what it was in 2019. I legit don’t even understand where this narrative comes from. Yeah eggs got expensive like 2 years ago. They got better.

Identity politics, and the concern silos that come with them, have failed. It’s my personal opinion that they were pushed as a means to divide us against each other over things that don’t threaten the profits of the capitalist class.

Fight for human rights.

Yes, human rights includes LGBT+ rights.

Yes, human rights includes women’s rights.

Human rights at work as well. Human rights to housing and Healthcare. No half measures, no negotiations.

We tried to negotiate with the 1% in the early 20th century. Much like negotiating peace with Putin, it was just a temporary cease fire while the 1% consolidated their power and let their propaganda networks soak the human mind.

I would put literacy right in front because apparently there’s a disturbing amount of people who don’t know what words mean almost.

To understand anything, you need a sense of literacy.

21% of American adults are illiterate (54% read below a 6th grade level)

17% of Canadian adults are illiterate.

I keep coming back to these points as it’s important context when understanding the news.

That’s… horrifying. I had no idea it was that high. I have to wonder how anyone can be illiterate, after watching my kids learn to read, and how little effort it took (on my part I mean, they were putting effort into it, because they wanted to)

I should point out that a portion of the stat comes from immigrants who are fully literate in their native language.

National literacy as a topic forms an interesting picture that I don’t fully understand.

Because there are still a lot of old folks around from when education was… not so well enforced

It looks to me like it’s ordered from more progressive to more fundamental, so literacy should be the last one, really. Trans rights is the newest major one, so it’s the first to fall.
