Do you believe you can just start shooting now or what? War or not, you need people working with you, which means you can't be a dick to everyone and still get what you want. If we do a good enough job of not being a dick we might outnumber the bad guys enough that we don't have to do the war thing

We knew that after we made her explain it 🤣. We learn a very superficial and almost comically sanitized version of history in public school in the US. I suspect that is a huge part of our problem at the moment.

If they were the least bit worried about terrorists they probably would not put themselves in such a snipeable position.

I'm going to call mine tomorrow and ask, because they need to go back to work. Johnson cannot be allowed to just keep it closed forever and let trump become a dictator by default. Nobody will like the inevitable result of that.

The day in school when the teacher had to tell us monarchy is bad, but the UK is good now, and then had to explain the magna carta and constitutional monarchy, then get caught on the dates and explain why King George III was different since he was a constitutional monarch? That was a long day.

He did say that, and essentially succeeded at it. It's a real bummer sometimes. A lot of the special edition stuff is good, but I want to see it the way I remember it sometimes. And that song in RotJ they added tanks the pacing.

But a few changes they made were really perfect.

I could make jokes here but I used to work in healthcare and have no idea where the line between funny and horrifying is anymore

That's not really that big of a deal for me either way, except that in this case, considering who introduced them, it probably means she was a victim at one point

And for this reason if no other, we need to do this much more often. It's super anxiety inducing out here.

He posted a video, no matter where it came from, of himself in a crown dumping shit on his own citizens. That's why people care. He's supposed to be a leader, not the one frat boy you can get to butt chug on camera because he's incapable of shame and wants twenty bucks from his buddy.

Cross doesn't burn her because unfortunately, God has never been in the business of saving us from our own stupidity. The murder of his only begotten son for our souls, sure. Keeping us from the consequences of our own stupid decisions? Not so much.

Thank you! And the name change is great! Same idea without making it more complicated than it needs to be.

It's so interesting to me that rage can actually keep us peaceful when mixed with a little hope and a lot of "fuck you I won't do what you tell me"

LAPD needs to get rid of its horses, or California needs to get rid of LAPD. Actually maybe both. Scrap it and start over.

I think a lot of us would benefit from taking as much money away from Russia as possible. Our part of it is going to take a lot of work, so can't promise a timeframe. We have to undo all the heinous stuff the defenestration elf managed to get by us first.

Yeah. It's like that.

He posted an AI video of himself flying a plane while wearing a crown, and then subsequently the plane dumped feces on the protestors.

So I would say Trump cares, a lot. I think we hurt his ego. Let's hit it again very soon.

Okay. I'll add it to the list when I call legislators on Monday and tell them to get the house back to work, and we expect them to figure out how to get Johnson out of the way.

Now to get the university to release Mark Cuban's money, which he donated to the IDS and the university won't release because they are lapdogs for fascism

Incredible. If you grew up in Indiana, you know what a big deal this is.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.
