This is a terrific piece tht traces how the #Reagan admin created policy tht increased #food prices, reduced #grocery store competition, killed 1000s of grocery store #jobs.

This Reagan #deregulation allowed corps to engage in unfair price fixing tht disadvantaged smaller grocers leading to reemergence of #FoodDeserts in the 80s to now.

You won’t be able to get thru it comparing what u have to some evil lucky sob who is wholly ungrateful abt everything they’ve ever been given.

Not worth the anguish.

Better learn to love & be grateful for what has gone well in yr life.

Thank you to Rachel Maddow for covering the upcoming vote on H.R. 9495, the bill that would give Trump unchecked power to shut down any organization that stands in his way. Are Democrats going to make it easier for Trump to pursue his authoritarian agenda or are they going to fight back? Make sure your Member of Congress hears from you ASAP: https://indivisible.org/resource/tell-your-representative-vote-no-hr-9495-stop-trump-attacking-dissenting-organizations?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Eight years after we wrote the Indivisible Guide to organizing locally and pressuring Congress to block the Trump agenda, we’re offering our best advice on how everyday people can organize to stop Trump 2.0: http://indivisible.org/guide

I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.

These statues of the rapist felon tru mp have been popping up all over the USA. Seen in Portland WA and Washington DC.

This kind of fact telling should be encouraged.

This week I learned that sunsets on Mars are blue (contrasting with the sky during the day, which is pink-yellow-brown). It seems to be due to the exact size and composition of Martian dust particles, which scatter red light in many directions while changing the direction of blue light very little.

Speaking as someone living in Hungary, to friends in the #USA:

The greatest weapon the system has is outrage fatigue. Doing so many unimaginable things at the same time that people just sigh and go on. Having so many things to protest that you run out of days and hours. Piling on so you start focusing on surviving with your bare mental health day to day.

Pick your cause and stick to it. Support others who focus on different causes. Don't try to do everything at once.

How to check if your vote was counted.

I'm not saying there was cheating.
I'm saying never trust a fucking maga.

TIL Autumn colour vibrancy depends on temperature variation balance. Sunny days with cool, crispy (not freezing) nights result in best colors. Daylight produces sugars, cool nights break down chlorophyll (green), non-freezing Temp traps the sugar in the leaves, and sugar concentration leads to color
