US prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione
Reply in thread
Luigi Mangione has been the only thing uniting the left and right in the US. This is one of the few things that has managed to break through Fox News propaganda. Killing a legendary hero isn’t the win the GOP thinks it is.

Just thank all representatives who voted on this. Both Democrat and Republican.

That’s going to be pretty soon at this rate. The number one reason people are looking the other way is because they’re afraid of losing their jobs and healthcare. We’re heading for a bad recession this summer where a lot of people will lose both anyways. So they will be all out of excuses.
This is also why fired federal workers are one of the angriest groups so far.

Why plans are already in motion for a Trump third term – no matter what the law says

They kind of already are. It’s thought that 45 is developing dementia. 45 talks differently than he has ten years ago. People dismiss it because he’s always been out there, but he’s definitely declined.
When his father, Fred Trump, developed dementia he was given a fake office and fake papers to keep him busy. 45’s papers aren’t fake but people behind the scenes are manipulating him.

Why Millennials aren't protesting, from a Millennial
Why does everyone not see anything in the Women’s March? It was a massively effective recruiting drive. Indivisible got a lot of members from the Women’s March. Indivisible has been extremely effective against Trump during his first term. They’ve been organizing for ten years.
This is why the majority of people buying and donating bus tickets for the April 5th protest are all women.

He keeps getting a bruise on his hand. People have also noted Trump has lost weight.

This is beautiful. Check out all the protests planned for April 5th
I counted all the protests on Hands Off a few days ago and there were 700. There are more now.

The basics of the Fediverse. Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Reddit, ... vs the Fediverse. What do you think?
This doesn’t explain things well. Lemmy is like a bunch of Reddits communicating with each other. The graphic makes it seem like there is just one Lemmy. Also, are Lemmy posts on Mastodon? Mastodon was largely empty last I checked.
Edit: I just now noticed the second Lemmy

Occupy Wall Street inspired the movement towards a $15/hr minimum wage and educated people about income inequality. So it didn’t do anything flashy, but it wasn’t useless.

It’s a perversion of Christianity.
God can commit genocide and torture because His actions are beyond human understanding. God is the creator of Goodness, so every action he does is Good by design. I personally view God only as Good because he is powerful, but I view Jesus as Good in a more genuine and human way.
The powerful like to take the parts of religion that allow them to live in a simplified world. A world in which they are Good, like God, not by action but by power and nature.
They forget that sinning applies to the powerful, just like it applies to the weak. Everyone deserves to be forgiven in Christianity, but only after you’ve paid for your sins. People like the “being forgiven” part, but not begging for forgiveness in a brown sack covered in ashes part.

The American Age Is Over - by Jonathan V. Last
I always wanted American Hegemony to end. No one country should have that much influence. We were abusing our status as a leader for a long time, anyways. I just didn’t want it to end like this.

Also, food isn’t the only way to get people to turn to violence. Violence against a population, collective punishment, and unnecessarily dangerous work conditions work as well. The American Revolution turned from a political squabble to a military one when the British heavily occupied Boston as punishment. Labor strikes used to be violent, mainly out of necessity.

Democrats and Republicans alike banded against Luigi. It’s Citizens United talking.
