When I was a real little kid, summer was always a hard time for me to eat because I was cut off from the subsidized lunch program. My mother was severely mentally ill and barely provided a meal a day sometimes. Food stamps, subsidized lunch programs and food shelves provided most of my nutrition, it was a benefit she couldn't divert away from feeding me and my siblings most of the time.

Anybody who supports removing these programs is legitimately a monster. It keeps so many kids alive or from developing horrific nutritional deficiencies. It has nothing but a positive impact on the community and economy.

Google needs to be broken up by government.

Conservatives started forcing a talking point in the 80s and 90s that all the courts are liberal activists, despite that not being remotely true. So they spend 30 to 40 years building a strategy to stack the courts and hyper politicize them so they can force through undemocratic measures. I watched it happen and how it was constantly talked about, I grew up in a very politically active conservative family.

So they successfully stacked the courts, even outright lying to the American public to hold up Garlands nomination to the Supreme Court. As a result democrats have scrambled the past 4 years to confirm their own slew of judges, in order to prevent the courts from becoming a political wing of the republican party. So now we have hyper polarized courts. Judges have always had political biases, but this new wave of judges have well outlined partisan goals, like a politician running for office. It's had a hugely negative effect on American law, like the conservative Supreme Court ignoring SB. 8 in Texas. An obviously corrupt and illegal use of the law that ignores a couple hundred years of jurisprudence.

Youtube is a perfect example of why ad blockers exist. They use ridiculous ad volumes and spy on their users for data to sell.

Notice the crowd that wanted all the confederate statues around is completely silent about an actual history course being attacked by special interest groups. It's almost like the only common goal is racism.

I'm so sick of these treasonous jackals.

I finally switched to Linux and I couldn't be happier. I can't believe I put up with microsofts garbage for so damn long.

Because we need to replace and maintain the ones we already have. People have been talking about doing this to our aging stockpile for decades.

It makes sense to reduce our arsenal, but the nukes we do have need to be maintained for safety and reliability.

It's interesting how these "critical cuts" we need to make to the budget always come out of the enforcement agencies keeping track of the companies bribing them with campaign money.

Doesn't look like Proton did anything wrong, they can't fight these requests and he was caught by identifying information he linked to his account.

Not remotely surprising the Republicans compromised on the lowest common denominator.

If only any of these parents cared about supporting teachers and their kids actually learning.

Republicans want to shield their senior citizen from showing off his cognitive decline.

We need extremely punitive legislation to punish these companies for stealing data from their customers.

Extremely disappointing statement from Blinken, we shouldn't be interfering with foreign news networks accurately reporting on atrocities.

Good, these chains have abused pharmacies for years.

Well damn, thanks for getting it done. Didn't think it would happen and I wasn't surprised you guys wanted to avoid the legal risk.

It's pathetic these clowns call themselves pro-life without vomiting. Their platform is based entirely around murdering pregnant women. They don't care how many times you explain this is essential healthcare, they are happy to let these women die because in their mind they deserve it for daring to try and save their own life with an abortion. It will be so sad and predictable when they find out the women in their life get ectopic pregnancies too, I wonder how much their lives are worth to these dishonest ghouls.

Such an incredibly stupid idea

Corrupt piece of shit evades justice again.

Yeah no shit the party of anti-vaxxers and lying about history is more susceptible to grifters.

We really have gone full circle on the "protecting the children" lie. Entire political campaigns based on the hatred of children.

Jesus reddit is run by such massive shitheads.

God damn am I jealous of Scandinavian unions.

Glad this jackass is finally suffering some of the consequences he greatly deserves.

This lady is a pathetically corrupt clown

Bunch of god damn clowns

I finally swapped to Linux and it's been easier than I expected. Don't know if I'll ever go back to only windows.

Step in the right direction, hope some version of it gets passed.

The FBI reports it to interpol I believe, interpol is more of like an international warrant system built from treaties.

It's long past time to flesh out our antitrust laws to deal with these greedy tech giants.

Fucking good, everything being touchscreen is completely insane.

We should have let the government actually break up microsofts monopoly long ago. Now they will abuse it to force millions of Americans to use their spyware.

Good, absurdly corrupt law.

The study is a well known load of crap, so that's probably why it's been unsuccessful.

I absolutely do not trust Chrome or the google team. It does not make me feel any better the only barrier to them trying to ruin a internet a bit is some backlash.

The general lack of empathy for these people is disgusting.

God I hope this grifter manages to land herself in prison.

A crisis of their own making. Its shockingly embarrassing to be a republican right now.

Somewhat expected, probably will be multiple waves of people joining with small declines in the months immediately after. Some of those less engaged individuals will come back too, and some of each wave will stay. I stayed from this last wave of reddit users. I've been using three lemmy accounts and my Mastodon since the incident. I intend to keep doing it, it's been a lot fun.
