Please don't feel you have to respond if I say something nice to you; social media is super weird how it engenders assumed intimacy between strangers.

Take care!

I always took it to mean an attempt to frame the debate so that court reforms would seem a lot more reasonable than they used to, but I get what you're saying here.

The advisor from SimCity hollers at the player, "YOU CAN'T LET A FROG DANCE EROTICALLY AT YOUR SWAT TEAM! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!" The typeface is Chicago but the city is Portland.

Oh, I like this design even more than the solid one they have in the main Aquaman book right now.

SHE HAD AN ANKLE MONITOR ON.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

Seriously. The governor and the legislature don't get along in the *best* of times! I'd expect someone who would functionally become the head of a state party to be a coalition builder. But someone who shits on support staff is someone who prolly has more embarrassing shit that comes out later.

The "rigged" jab made me go "... huh" in a way that I can tolerate from a politician as a one-off. This makes me feel like she has or had other issues under the surface, and, like, I dunno. Do I want to vote to replace a selfish prat with another jerk?

Yeah... I was planning on voting for her in the primary, but this is absolutely repellant and unprofessional behavior.

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 7h

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Like, there is a reason we don't allow other employees who use force against citizens to have unions. Military employees don't get unions, for example, and that's a good thing!

This Is Another Weird Website! @hoboabobo8d8.bsky.social · 6h

Police unions helped fund MAGA, police unions helped codify qualified immunity, police unions are a festering pit of white supremacy and bigotry, and state employees who can wield force against citizens and have collective bargaining rights undermines civilian control of the state.

They're bad!

Totally agree with not revoking citizenship. These jerks are unAmerican scum, but that doesn't mean we can deprive them of basic rights under the law or Constitutional protections.

Now, changing the law to take their treats or nationalize their wealth or let them face intl. consequences? Hell yeah.

Your input helps, because I am literally just some asshole with a keyboard. I am not an expert on much, but I do like the idea of political vengeance!

This Is Another Weird Website! @hoboabobo8d8.bsky.social · 7h

Becoming members of the International Criminal Court would be a gigantic fuck you and literally make some of these MAGA dipshits terrified. Hell yeah.

Miles Morales @milesm2000.bsky.social · 7h

Revoking Elon Musk's visa, liquidating his companies and throwing him to the Hague for being responsible for a genocide (his butchering of USAID caused more than 300,000 deaths in Africa and Myanmar, with potentially *millions* more dying in the next few years)

Oooh, what about turning antitrust law towards big agriculture? Forcible land divestments aimed at farmer millionaires, with the land returned to Tribal owners?

And banning mandatory arbitration agreements has to be on there.

I like this, but could we just go Australia on their ass? Or fully-retroactive liability for all gun manufacturers in the US?

Dan @knitdan.bsky.social · 7h

Modernizing the ATF so they can actually track gun purchases in a useful and time-effective manner

Banning leveraged buyouts

Yeah, this is some good stuff.

Give all US Territories Statehood. 🇺🇦 @josephpbacter.bsky.social · 7h

I’ll add:

Dismantle the DHS
Criminal prosecutions for DHS/DOJ officials involved in ICE crimes
Break up Nexstar and Sinclair
get everyone sent to foreign prisons back

I really like this, but I feel like these are just structural changes we have to make so as not to go through this nonsense again.

Nationalize Tesla? Nationalize all coal companies in the United States before we systematically dismantle all mineral resource extraction in the Northeast?

Steven Crabs @blorgu.bsky.social · 7h

Statehood for DC and PR plus SCOTUS reform

So, what would the Democratic revenge platform look like?

I feel like there's some gimmes, like dismantling the car dealership system and outlawing police unions. But what else?
