  • if you come from a mostly white passing family like i do, these terms become both ludicrous and enlightening:

    my white passing mother and siblings are treated as non-hyphenated americans and that has enabled them to join the maga fold and obtain a higher socioeconomic status.

    my father, my other siblings and i are not white passing and the way americans treat us has kept us outside of the maga fold and keeps us on par socioeconomically with the rest of our extended family who are also not white passing.

    we literally came from the same exact background, but our worlds are far apart from each other and it’s gotten to such a bizarre extent the white passing family members no longer feel comfortable spending time the rest of the extended family because of trump and their socioeconomic statuses. the children of the white-passing family members have never met their cousins and are incapable of doing so for most of them since they do not know how to speak the language that they descend from.









  • when i bought one, they were nothing more than re-badged clevo and tongfeng laptops.

    that means that they costed a little bit more than windows based laptops with the same specs; but it also means that there was no headaches with hardware compatibility and that the battery life was better if you chose your hardware correctly. (it’s also smooth sailing if you pay for the support).

    i bought from kfocus most recently and it turns out it’s not any different than tuxedo and i suspect that all the linux laptop companies are the same; besides system76 who have started building their own laptops instead of re-badging clevo/tongfeng.








  • Do you ever wonder why it takes a single parliamentarian or congressman to derail all Democratic state welfare initiatives like national healthcare while the Republicans steamrolled over dozens of Republicans and parliamentarians who tried to stop this most recent bill?

    If you ever bother to educate yourself, you’ll come to understand that the democrats had the option of making the filibuster super majority proof when Biden was the president and Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, but chose not to even when their own bill was in jeopardy.

    Please wake up.


  • This country normally strips Americans of citizenship every few decades; most recently in the zoot suit riots where my own family members were forced to live out their lives in Mexico despite being born and raised in the United States.

    The equal rights amendment could have helped people like your grandfather, Uncle and step father maintain their support and Biden did next to nothing to make it a reality.

    But that’s just the brown and disabled people of the United States and the global South whose lives are being fucked over or ended, but sure, you and your colleagues jobs are more important.

    the previous and current administration only differ in uncouthness.
