This GOP bill will disenfranchise millions of voters if it passes. That is by design, of course. I don’t want to see a single Democratic Senator vote for this travesty. But we all know many will only do the right thing if they are forced to. Call your reps. GOP, too. Tell them to vote no!

Not sure I'd trust a space alien that says "We mean you no harm" since that the same as saying "Any harm we cause is not intended".

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

What’s your unpopular Star Trek opinion? They spent a lot of time over several seasons getting Worf and Troi together, and they were a great couple. To the point where I consider everything post TNG an alternate reality. In the real timeline they lived happily ever after.

Any suggestions on new anime this season that seem good? So far I'm watching Anne Shirley (had to give it a shot. Not bad so far), Mono (bc it's from the Laid-Back Camp creator, but meh so far), Food for the Soul (bc it's from Non Non Biyori creator, but meh so far).

It’s been lost in the tariff news but the fact that the U.S. government can accuse you of a crime and send you to an El Salvadoran prison without trial, is legitimately scarier than the most hyperbolic claims of fascism made by the left during the election.

I found out last night that one of my neighbors died a few weeks ago. He was forced into early retirement by DOGE & the stress of having to get all the right paperwork back to them on a short & inconsistent time line spiked his BP so much he had a stroke & fucking died. DOGE killed my neighbor.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

“Everybody was trying to tell the police, no, no,” Vazquez said. “Those four officers didn’t care. They didn’t ask what was happening, what was the situation.” 12 seconds between getting out of their cars and shooting someone on the other side of a fence and not a danger to them.
