I care so very much about Ukraine A bicameral group of Democrats pleaded to House Speaker Mike Johnson to put the Senate’s foreign aid bill, which includes Ukraine aid, to a floor vote, emphasizing the war-torn country desperately needs help to fend off the Russian invasion, telling Johnson to "lead, follow or get out of the way." Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance should be forced to sell the app but argued that the potential for a ban under current legislation is too “extreme.”

Everybody agrees we need to help Ukraine. What, are you pro-Russia or something? quote:By the numbers: The bill includes $47.7 billion in aid to Ukraine, $10.4 billion for Israel and $4.9 billion for U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific to combat China.

err posted:Uber and Lyft sent push notifications to try to defeat Prop 22 in California. gradenko_2000 posted:He literally says that's fine because Uber is an American company But if the American company allows for criticism of the american government, its bad again, right? But only specific governments. the bad government. Our Government is Good, so it doesnt warrant any criticism. This is me trying to be snarky but halfway through I just got so pissed off at the constant contradictory loops. Massive, pervasive american companies with impenetrable bureaucracies are good. They should be the only ones that draw the boundaries of our lives! But if a state does it, its bad. Unless its our state, but not directly! The best kind of government is a big blue one that lets big private companies do whatever they want. Anything else is literally fascism. "Which we would never do, because that is bad. And we only do good." Facebook was bad, but then it became good when it was decided that actually it was the russians that abused poor facebook...????????? They insist theyre not republicans, theyre not even right wing, at all. So left in fact. But not too left, thats just psycho. The Big Blue Dream is apparently a quirky July 4th rooftop party held every day, while a bloated police apparatus beats the poo poo out of the critics and illegals on the ground floor. This is Being Left. These miserable fucks!!

Yeah, it's all getting more blatant and hypocritical as things begin to accelerate. These same people say Facebook was the driving force for Russian propaganda during the 2016 election, but they are never punished or forced to be sold of or whatever. Instead they get government integration by CIA propagandists: https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1685818608205631489

err posted:Yeah, it's all getting more blatant and hypocritical as things begin to accelerate. Youtube and Facebook and Twitter were real bad guys during the first half of trump's presidency too, because they were responsible for the spread of The Alt-Right, remember. Tiktok if anything was the future because it was the home of the twee quirky new-snarky liberal. But now thats evil and chinese, meanwhile Twitter suddenly is a okay again. I guess the big move to bluesky was the wet fart everyone knew it would be. Its all just such a loving joke.
