Someone posted the names and email address of every single DOGE employee on Bluesky. I have a copy but am not sure using it for anything at all beyond my own curiosity is probably illegal, including posting it anywhere. I think what they are doing to the US is awful but in years to come, when sanity returns, there will be a reckoning.

 

Forty-five percent of female voters backed Trump in 2024, despite his overt misogyny. Most, no doubt, believed that complicity would protect them and that the attacks would be centered on other women. But while the GOP certainly wants to strip liberal and feminist women of their rights, male MAGA leaders are showing increasing interest in bringing Republican women to heel, both culturally and through the force of law. After all, they are more likely to live and work with Republican women. If they want to feel the full flowering of male domination, it's Republican women they need to see submitting.

 

Please don't break the law, there is a lot you can do without breaking it.

Thank you for your explanation.

I like the story of Prometheus. He is one of the few Gods who cared at all. I dislike any involving Zeus and his shenanigans with women, mostly because of a book of Greek myths I was given when I was 6. In it, it tells of him kidnapping various women and they ending up with his offspring and his wife's ire.All illustrated with graphic classical paintings.

I was terrified for months that if I as much as looked at a bull or swan wrong he could come and get me. I had nightmares, and then the nightmares got the stories more mixed up in my head. It got better eventually but left me with a very personal dislike of Zeus.

Good,let them go. They have all their wealth offshore and barely pay tax. They are the real scroungers and parasites.

Sex work should be legal as long as it is done willingly.Let them pay tax and work out of buildings. That would keep the women much safer than working on the streets and get into cars with people.

I am really poor by UK standards, living on disability payments which are among the lowest in Europe. Sometimes I have to use the foodbank in winter. However, in summer I also donate to them and also give to local charities and homeless people. I know a lot of people say do not give directly to the homeless, but I think that is wrong.I have been homeless and found a community of folk just like everywhere else. Some do spend it all on drugs, but many more do not! It is not my place to judge.

I don't think it is only techy nerds, I am a granny and much prefer Lemmy. I no longer feel nervous when posting here at all as people are polite and are actually interested in discussion rather than simply arguing. And the premise that there can never be only one person in control is refreshing.
