Wisconsin@midwest.social•Wisconsin police investigating fraternity for hazing after men found in basementEnglish
2·16 days agoI was in a fraternity and we never did shit like this. What the fuck.
“Mahm” I guess. Definitely not “ma’am” or “mome”.

I guess mine is pretty solidly midwestern.

Ohio@midwest.social•Upcoming rallies in support of transgender civil rights pop up across Ohio
3·2 months agoThank you for posting this.
Local protest information is incredibly difficult to find outside of Facebook and Instagram. I’m amazed that so many organizations still post protest announcements exclusively on fascist-controlled platforms.

Wisconsin@midwest.social•Did Democrats Just Lose the Governor's Race?English
31·2 months agoI unfortunately don’t have time to respond to all of your points here, so I will be brief: my point is not “vote GOP because Dems bad”. My point is vote for more socialist Dems. Instead of settling for the lesser of two evils, we should be pushing for actual, meaningful plans for change, not just “tweaking around the edges” like the last two Dem administrations. We have had big problems long before Trump came into power, and they have only gptten bigger since then. Anyone who isn’t proposing actual solutions to those problems need to get out of the way.
Have a good evening!

Wisconsin@midwest.social•Did Democrats Just Lose the Governor's Race?English
51·2 months agoTheir platform is just lip service; Their actions say that they do not want to improve the lives of average Americans without inconveniencing the large corporations and oligarchs who fund them.
Centrist Dems say they want to make healthcare affordable, but they do the absolute minimum to regulate insurers or drug manufacturers.
Centrist Dems say they want to make groceries and gas more affordable, but they have no problem emptying the treasury to pay for Israel’s free healthcare, free college, and free bombs to drop on their neighbors.
Centrist Dems say they want to expand legal immigration, but conditions at the southern border grew worse during both Trump’s and Biden’s terms in office.
What frustrates me most is their Project 2029 proposal: Enforcing online age verification, effectively expanding the surveillance state and destroying internet privacy, instead of directly holding social media companies and advertisers accountable for their manipulative practices and dark patterns.
I have no problems with taxing the rich, but the centrist wing of the party has been loathe to actually do it, because that’s who pays them.

41·2 months agoDisclaimer, I don’t live in Wisconsin.
The centrist Democrats are enablers and are completely beholden to the oligarchs that have looted this country, so yes I will shit on them every day because they completely deserve it.
But I will not vote for a Republican.

Ohio@midwest.social•A City With a Plan : Cincinnati wants to take in people fleeing climate disasters
2·2 months agoGeorgraphically Ohio may be better suited to weather the effects of climate change.
Demographically, a larger and more diverse population is more likely to oust the biggots that have seized power in Ohio, by one way or another.
And, Cincinnati is pretty liberal relative to the rest of Ohio.

2·5 months agoOne problem with trying to use a phone that is completely outside of the Apple and Google ecosystems is that Google is also trying to push this crap, which IMO is not getting nearly enough coverage, and will completely lock out phones that aren’t blessed (cryptographically signed) by Apple or Google.
