Thanks, that's interesting, I have been getting more headaches since I've been taking it for about 2 months. Luckily I don't believe I have ever had a migraine in my life and these are mild. Has an opposite effect on my appetite. I appreciate your response.

I'm curious what your take is on Methylphenidate (Ritalin), which I understand is also a CNS stimulant, but not amphetamine based, and also seen as less effective. I ask because I was given a choice to use Adderall, but they recommended Ritalin by provider because of supply issues.

Minneapolis could, I imagine, have nice things too. If they elected leaders who choose to implement the solutions that we know already work.

What month is it? March? Still pulling this stunt then not doing anything to press the issue? How do Democrats' consultants get paid that well....

I thought it was pretty obvious by now that we aren't going to be saved by politicians, that's what makes this person look really ridiculous! They expect somebody else to do something for them, when they're going to have to get into the streets and fight for themselves. How silly.

Pay attention to which way the Illinois State Police are facing, and what weapons they are carrying. If you do, then you realize that they don't look any different than the ICE officers.

Who is Carl Schmitt, the authoritarian political theorist that the New Right and the Neocons are obsessed with?

before being the obsession of
peter thiel and every favourite
podcaster of your incel cousin,
schmitt was the jurist who
came up with the theoretical
legal foundation for the
nazi party's power grab and
subsequent atrocities.
he wrote: "sovereign is he who
decides on the exception." he
believed that constitutional
democracies were facades for
the total power of the execu-
tive, since the legislative was
powerless during exceptional
times.
schmitt also wrote about
the friend-enemy distinction,
which he saw as the basis of
the politic. people are sorted
into groups, either with you or
against you, in a struggle for
survival. big incel vibes, I know.
in his view, liberalism
challenged that "natural order"
by restricting the power of
the executive and by easing
the distinctions with enemy
groups, which he thought led
to social paralysis and
racial decay.

Oof got me.

So you just reinforced your own opinion, got it. You piled on with a bunch of other people who tried to create a conspiracy out of whole cloth and this is what is important right now. This is surely productive.

Lots of people on this website would rather complain about other's complaints. These people think of themselves as an "intellectual resistance" that will beat fascism by making sure others stay in line.

The Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social · 2d

Lots of people on this website would rather see a Dem L that they predicted (because they predict nothing else) than a Dem W they didn’t. These people think of themselves as opponents of Republicans.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE

Came here to post this, and also to say that it's interesting that Amy has not picked up on the multiple islamophobic acts of defacement that have happened in the last week. But I guess it's not that interesting when you put the above image in context.

While I agree, it is the way, he should also be standing with the people he is speaking about, sending folks in to defend them, instead all he has done so far has been strong words. He should instruct his police to stop assisting ICE, he should activate the Illinois national guard to defend.
