Jesus CHRIST! The run-time on this movie!

It really suffered for lack of an intermission. I had to do a snack run and missed paragraph 12.

I also consider 800 to be too many.

It doesn't change the fact that stopping it from being 801 is a victory.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 27

It's also possible that you're wrong, and in that scenario millions of people have still worked to make sure that it stops at 800.

Either outcome is a victory with a high price. Either scenario is going to leave scars.

But either scenario is going to galvanize more people to work harder.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 27

It's a matter of time before we find out what happened. Experts are looking.

It's possible that you're right about what happened, but you need to understand that millions of people are working to make sure that it stops at 800.

No, systematic extermination takes INFRASTRUCTURE. Time is circumstantial to the requirements.

What's happening is an atrocity that needs to be stopped. And people are working, and succeeding, in stopping it.

That isn't a minor win, that's millions of more people saved.

Again. Things are bad. Harm is being done. But the only thing dooming is going to accomplish is to discourage people from speaking up.

Every major work on resistance warns against doing what you're doing right now, dude.

The Holocaust was a machine. States, courts, mass protests, and citizen watches are preventing and shutting down attempts to create a machine here.

People being disappeared is an atrocity. But shutting down the camps is the difference between genocide and attempted genocide.

You need to get that sorted and quit spreading hopelessness. Nothing good will come of that.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 26

Alright then. Let's talk about heads and sand after you've caught up on the news, friend. I recommend non-profits like Pro Publica, and especially local non-profits.

Things are bad. Harm is being done. But if all you're seeing is doom and hopelessness, you're not paying attention.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 26

Yep, they have, and that's just federal. States are not going along with this bullshit.

Painting an image of the federal government as untouchable is exactly what Trump wants you to be doing, so thank you. Keep at it I guess.

Plenty of people have said no and, if they were fired, sued to get their jobs back.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 26

Please amend your bio. Attributing powers to Trump that he doesn't have is kneeler shit.

States are fighting him. His popularity is underwater. Courts are ruling against him and in some cases sanctioning the DoJ. He does not have the media under his control, useless and corrupt as they may be.

All 20 of my co-workers or maybe they're my squad who have guns and radios and kill orders refuse to communicate with me to devise a pattern from isolated incidents.

It's an extremely passive-aggressive work environment or perhaps shift duty. I'm due for a vacation or I think honorable discharge?

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 26

I work for an underground military bunker. My job is security guard who is probably also military.

My contract or maybe my military training says that when lights go out in sequence, I must look at each one and say "that's odd..." but not infer a larger pattern.

The nation depends on my vigilance!

Anyway.

Gavin is a transphobe. Maybe that's what you value in a politician, I don't know. But it's a dealbreaker for me and if he's the nominee I shan't be partaking of that nonsense, and if it costs you the White House then you can say you were duly warned.

I will not be guilted to vote for hate.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 26

I would simply go back and clarify myself, because a misunderstanding has clearly arisen.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 26

Like, if it were ME, and I said "name any politician that has gleefully burned down more homeless camps and ate more children than Newsom" and someone else took it to mean that those are the metrics by which I value politicians, and repeated it back to me, maybe embellished a bit, and I got mad?

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 26

You want a troll, but how dare me for calling it trolling and especially how dare me for assuming that's what you value most in a man after you prompted me to rank officials by their troll game.

Yes, I am the one arguing in bad faith here and by me I literally mean me and not in a sarcastic way.

If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

No tariffs for any company that digs a ditch and has 36 consecutive months of building contractors who are on vacation.

Sounds like a shakedown to buy real estate more than anything.

"POINT OUT WHERE TRUMP SAID HE HATES BLACK PE-"

Yeah we all got tired of this shit 10 years ago, dude.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 26

Feigning indignation isn't compelling. You're giddy over finally having an obnoxious clown for Team Blue, and want to talk about how memeworthy and trolly he is, and then use the tactics of the right to feign indignation at anyone who just calls the spade the spade.

Not gonna work.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 26

One of us is engaging with the text and one with the intent.

You said hilarity, and I put a name to that hilarity. We are both talking about the same hilarity and you don't like that I described it in an unflattering way while attributing it to you, even though that IS what you're talking about.

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 25

Dare... accepted? Took me 12 seconds to scroll up.

C'mon.

Name me another governor who's attacked Trump as hilariously

Lauren says trans rights 🇺🇦 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈⚧️ @allureintheflames.bsky.social · Sep 25

"Name anyone who's attacked Trump as hilariously" is indistinguishable and if you equate rephrasing with lying, well, you're not gonna get along with most people.

Memes are not a value. Find some real ones.
