Texas is trying to detransition everyone with this new bill btw, basically saying everyone must “wean” themselves off hrt. I wouldn’t be surprised if this passes here in Florida too.

Donald Trump announces that a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico will take effect on March 4th, along with an additional 10% tax on Chinese imports.

Rest in pp US economy. It's been nice affording things

Dear Amtrak: please build more tracks. I would happily use you if it didn't take me four days to get from Denver to LA

More draconian trans policy disallowing trans people from immigrating to the US

I would like to add the comment to this that there's nothing *inherently* wrong with genetically modifying produce. Humans have been doing it for millennia, just in less sophisticated ways than we currently do. The issue with gmos is not their existence, it's both that they're used for the same monoculture farming that has always been risk-prone, and that many corporations (Monsanto being the most well known example) design crops around exploitative practices and principles.

Yet again, the issue is not technology, but the capitalist application of technology.

The power grab that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are carrying out in Washington, DC is just one aspect of a much bigger phenomenon. At every level of society, executives are asserting totalitarian control over whatever they can get their hands on. We are seeing the emergence of a caste of billionaires who no longer believe that they need to preserve any veneer of democracy.

Trump and Musk are the ones who are currently attracting the most attention, but behind them are Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and many more. The individual character flaws of these men are beside the point; the significant thing is that the mechanisms of neoliberal capitalism are systematically concentrating power in the hands of people who are completely disinterested in others’ agency or well-being.

This is why milquetoast centrism cannot offer a convincing alternative to the despotism of the fascists and technocrats.

Hehe, you can't tell me what to do
