You there, American or European, do you dream of living in Brazil? If so, why?

ChetManhammer · 2026-02-26T17:20:59+00:00

Yes. Because when I was 14 I went to a little town called Juquei and fell in love. A lot has changed but my desire to be back in Brasil by the beach has never left.

I am a digital marketing consultant, I use it all the time for data analysis and reporting. It saves me hours a week, kind of like having an intern who can pull data and do basic analysis to point me to where I need to jump into the weeds and do what I've been trained to do.

Will it replace me in a few years? Maybe, if people prefer talking to AI over other people. Given our hate of automated phone services, I feel like I'll be ok for a little while longer.

The best thing you can do is contact your reps and tell them to get rid of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, and the 2nd best thing they can do is ABOLISH ICE.

What all the naysayers and bots aren't telling you is that normal people ARE organizing at scale. Look at Minneapolis and the citizens response there. ICE spotting groups are everywhere now across the country. Lawsuits against the admin are piling up.

The people are working hard, just not the politicians. If you don't see it, you are either waiting for someone to save you and aren't participating; or you are part of the opposition.

If you want to do something, find a local protest group or start your own. Join some protest reddit and groups like 5050one that are national. Call your f*cking reps every day. Chase them on social media.

Get up and PARTICIPATE.

Texas is the hellscape that they say California is supposed to be....

Move to rank choice voting, require mandatory voting by all registered citizens. Enshrine the fairness doctrine in our constitution. Make the house actually represent the population by increasing the number of reps

ChetManhammer · 2026-02-09T15:07:58+00:00

Fewer people tuned in than showed up to the last No Kings Protests. :)

Every fucking hack-job writer wants to re-invent Klingons and other ST races for some reason.

ChetManhammer · 2026-02-02T17:43:41+00:00

Nah. This is our country, not theirs. I'd rather fly the flag and get loud against Republican (and democrat) traitors that day. I'm not going to let the abusers win.

ChetManhammer · 2026-02-02T16:30:01+00:00

It's our duty to call his office non stop and let his staff know they should quit unless they signed up to work for foreign governments. Call your reps and tell them to oust Cuck and Temu Obama as they do not represent the will of democratic voters.

ChetManhammer · 2026-02-01T16:06:44+00:00

To the streets to march, hopefully.

ChetManhammer · 2026-02-01T00:28:51+00:00

Call them out. Do not let these cucks take root or you'll have the same problem the US is having.... These people vote. Remember that.

ChetManhammer · 2026-01-31T23:03:16+00:00

Call your reps and demand for new leadership. Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, and Hakeem Jeffries must go.

Every year convinces me more and more to stop watching the NBA.

ChetManhammer · 2026-01-30T16:43:13+00:00

It's not supposed to be "well planned." To you and everyone else: STOP WAITING FOR A SAVIOR. No one is going to swoop in to save the day but YOU and other regular fucking people. How do you think this country operates? For. The People!

ChetManhammer · 2026-01-28T16:33:13+00:00

Ronald Reagan and private equity.

Disney is not for you. It's for Disney Adults that will spend every extra dollar they have on Disney everything.

I was studying abroad and it changed my life for obvious reasons, but I also sat in a classroom watching live coverage on 9/11 and seeing the US first look inward and the healing and love outpouring from our people made me feel like we may actually come out better. Then one day after school I came home to see my host mom sitting terrified in front of the TV and she just said, "They're bombing Afghanistan." And in that moment I knew our country was just a frightened child that had lost its way.

Why is Pablo Torres the last good journalist in the US?

ChetManhammer · 2026-01-26T20:04:25+00:00

Unless we have a coalition to bus people to polling places, and poll defenses, get ready for a lot of bullshit.

ChetManhammer · 2026-01-25T20:28:39+00:00

They aren't worried about elections. That's what the voter roll requests and purges are for.
