Remember, if you see or hear a church actively campaigning for any sort of politics you can report them and get their tax free status taken away. 👍

100% trust your gut. It's not a good idea.

Well I guess as long as she has a 'chip' on her shoulder

Remember there are bots even on Lemmy to push the narrative that we have no power. Billionaires aren't scared of a couple less dollars, but they are TERRIFIED of us figuring out we can organize. Let's not fight each other let's fight the oligarchy!

If you haven't read any Asimov books you should give them a shot (:

Are you the only white man on this planet?

Barack Obama has the chance to do something pretty funny here

Mutual Aid and building community is the best outcome for the future we are facing.

You being negative instead of constructive shows how defeated you are. Rise up with us and do your part when/where you can. No one is going to give people who have to get medication or buy formula today a hard time.

Obv every situation is different but if you want to find a new community the easiest way is to get involved somehow. Examples: volunteer at a food bank, find your local gaming store and check their events or start a new one, or heck get outside into green spaces if you have them and see what others are doing. It's gonna take practice but if you really want new friends there are ways!
