I hate white Supremacy just as much. We got years of death threats and vandalism when we moved into a formerly restricted "white" suburb in 1971. That was just for being brown, I can't begin to understand how bad it is for black people.

Anti-cult music therapy: A trans rights song 

High school sound track: Section: Forbidden music. Subsection: Andrew's boom box collection. This song is called My First Christmas As a Woman. It's a punk track, and it may not even appeal to my trans friends. But, I'm putting it here anyway, because it survived the anti-cult library purge.

Amplify #Bidenomics, IRA: Rural Mingo Co, WV, is one of America’s poorest counties. ~1/3 of its residents live below the poverty line, only 1/3 of its pop. is employed & countless lives -upended by opioid addiction. But this community scored a badly needed win this Apr when Adams Fork Energy & CNX Resources unveiled plans to build the nation’s largest clean ammonia PROD facility there.

Stian Jensen, Director of the Private Office of the NATO Secretary General, stated Ukraine should cede territory to Putin in exchange for NATO membership. Giving a prize for genocide is absolutely a recipe for disaster. #FireJensen

@fonecokid

To do that, he has to demonstrate to the court's satisfaction that attempting to overthrow the results of an election were somehow part of TFG's role as president.

I’m still struggling with the #s as someone who owned a chevy geo in the 90s (50 mpg, struggled to go up hills I’ll admit πŸ˜‚) A honda fit in the 00s (~50 mpg) & the prius c (I’m a small car lover πŸš™) that just got totaled (also ~50 mpg). Feels like opportunties to truly improve mpg have existed in the last 30 years. Not dissing the better mileage some sedans & trucks are getting but ….Im also seriously depressed we dont have flying cars yet so I have lots of issues πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

@JGuz

Funny story: we sold the hybrid he'd been driving to someone who had never driven a hybrid. He was floored that a mid-size sedan got 36mpg, and even more floored when I told him that when I'd driven it (more carefully than hubs) I was getting 42mpg. On regular unleaded, not premium.
He was coming from a really old F150 truck that got 13mpg.

@JGuz

I can tell you I was a VW sceptic until this one. I didn't buy it for me, I bought it for the hubs, and he loved the ID.4. I've really been impressed with it. The ride, the handling, it's a great car.
For me, I'm probably going to get a Polestar 2 - I prefer sedans - but if that doesn't happen, I'm getting my own ID.4

βš‘οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦The installation of the Ukrainian coat of arms on the Motherland monument will be completed by August 23. The builders have already sewn up the shield with metal, and now they are welding the plates of the shield and trident. The Ministry of Culture says that the work is on schedule. #Ukraine #Press #News #Russia #RussiaUkraineWar #9yrInvasionofUkraine #WantedDeadOrAlive

"the policy could put them on dodgy legal ground"

The cruelty is the point, with these people.

@JGuz

This is an area where you can make use of people's fear of BEVs.
I found a VW ID.4 that had been sold new 6 months earlier, and had less than 2,000 miles on the odometer, for $10,000 below MSRP sticker price. $22,000 less than the local VW dealer was selling them new.
Because it was so new, with so few miles, my credit union financed it at the new car interest rate, saving me 0.75% on the interest.

If you are thinking about buying an electric car, just be aware dealers have marked these up by $10K thereby negating the rebate and you still pay an extra ~$2500. The Capitalists really do want to kill the planet.

The lettuce might be a little wilted, but to balance that out, the croutons are *really* crunchy!

you're telling me julius caesar, who has been dead for thousands of years, made this salad?

Hi folks β€” there’s no issue of The Counteroffensive today. Unfortunately I’ve been hospitalized in Kyiv due to a bad infection.

I’m on the mend. However, it’s unclear whether our insurance will cover this stay.
