There’s a strain of person who would much rather believe that Americans aren’t doing anything to fight back than that they ARE fighting back and it hasn’t fixed things.
And look, I get it. It’s the same drive that says if you don’t bounce back from an illness, you must have done something wrong.

All I got in return was a bunch of merchandising ... https://youtu.be/fgRFQJCHcPw
If I have to explain one more time that fibromyalgia hits long before old age and the police state that we're in...
No joke, I've blocked more leftist "purity testers" than people on the Right here. And I'm on the left.
*Try my cocktail vectors plus baker's dozen of co-infections! You might get a hyper-immune system guarding the gate, but watch out for the auto-reject on organisms!*
Trolls, it's wasted breath. Family is trickier.
Dad died of an uncommon and no causal links cancer at 45. The amount of "but why isn't there a guidebook for how *I* avoid it???" was phenomenal.
They're owned by conservatives.
Now ask me why that comparison keeps coming to my mind.

The rain, it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella,
But mostly on the just, because
The unjust stole the just's umbrella.
And fixing things is a lot harder than breaking things and takes a lot longer and requires a lot more effort.
And doesn't always work.
But without NIH, an Rx company needs to see $$$ to pursue treatment/cure. :(
There's a reason that the State department always recommended parliamentary systems to emerging Democracies.
Decades of internal propaganda painted the US system as the best in the world and the strongest political system, yet it was modelled on and is mirroring the Roman Republic (not exactly mirroring but there are trends which you can point to)
Major news outlets simply won't cover it.
Despite my voice having no weight in this matter I wasn't protesting right by not wasting my money to make overseas phonecalls to American politicians who I got no connection to because I'm not American.
So they flail instead. Anger is easier than fear. Fear is SCARY.
Fistfights in the House won't bring back what we gave away. Democrats are doing ALL that we can with what we've been left.
Gods. This place.
@nteunational.bsky.social
Outstanding work by you and all those with you.
(Also, people ARE doing things; not everyone can 'go to DC', but we're calling, and community-ing and so on.)
100 miles from DC barely gets you into Pennsylvania. 1000 miles from DC doesn't even get you to Texas.
People could completely bring Chicago or San Francisco or Seattle to a standstill and… why the fuck would Trump care?
"There’s a ton of them, Trump just doesn't care if he even knows they're happening because if something isn't on the news, he literally doesn't know it exists."
"Impossible. Protest harder. And vote more... voteily. Yes. That's the ticket."
They then victim blame us saying "You should have fought, but you only voted, now die."
Admin is nervous enough to walk back UN nomination of one critter.
An earlier Penn. state senate ballot (dems winning with a 25 point swing) suggests the fight back is on.
So I donate. I can't donate a lot, but I donate monthly to organizations that are actually Doing Things, like @aclu.org and @lakotalaw.bsky.social.

WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER💪
democracy is saying "fuck Trump," but oligarchy is closing ranks
which
is not ideal!
in the end it all comes down to a bunch of rich people who chafe at the idea of anybody ever telling them what to do for any reason
it's instructive to think of the entire billionaire class as the four awful kids from Willy Wonka writ large
unfortunately our society is run by people who believe that mass murder is morally laudable if you're rich
And I was just going…oh, my sweet summer child…
