Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•Netanyahu ordered drone attacks on Gaza-bound humanitarian aid boats off TunisiaEnglish1·2 days agoNo it was a flare that they launched at there own ship because they wanted attention, the hasbara bots told me so.
Idk about the Washington part but the Oregon part would be Jefferson, so not exactly progressive, until you hit the Willamette valley which I’ve never been to but assume it’s like the central valley here in CA and full of the most annoying conservatives constantly complaining about the big cities.

Newsom threatens to withhold billions from California colleges that sign Trump's 'compact'61·3 days agoInteresting that Newsom didn’t say anything when colleges were forced to send the names of any professor or student who doesn’t support genocide.

There are some legit criticisms from the left on UBI, it’s myopic focus on consumption, the possibility of it being eaten away due to inflation it causes and becoming a gift to landlords etc. I don’t think “the government will use it to control us” is a good one as that can be said about any social service the government provides. Should we not have universal Healthcare because if a fascist takes over he can kick you off the roles and you’ll die from a preventable disease?
Filling everyone’s basic needs will be a vast social undertaking that will require a lot of organization, just because someone might take over that organization and wield it for power doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make it, it just means we have to keep careful watch over it when we do.
