if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Hey everyone, it's @AudMcMacca from The Bad Place (I know, I know, but I got there first; Melon Husk can get off MY lawn), & I'll be your guest host this evening, livesky-ing tonight's production of Pygmalion, starring @faeriviera.bsky.social!

“Some vendors we work with are in their homes behind locked doors now, too scared to leave,” said Samy, the 34-year-old garage owner and second-generation New York City vendor. Heartbreaking, vital reporting from the wonderful @haidee.bsky.social of @thecity.bsky.social (donate today!)

it seems wildly unfair that our planet has a handful of Lex Luthors and zero super-powered space alien himbos to punch them

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs. They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens. www.9news.com/article/news...

I'm a huge fan of AOC, I really am, but... trained and mobilized to do what? Are they going to undo the exec orders or stop the hostile takeover of our federal government? What's the plan with *that*? This isn't canvasing time, people are getting hurt by their federal gov following unlawful orders.

I keep hearing left-leaning lawyers say that "executive orders do not carry the weight of law". That's really nice legal theory but literally the second they announce them, the entire machinery of the government is scrambling to follow them to the letter.

all you people who told us to calm down can go fuck yourselves

Can *someone* please tell me that *anything* has been done by *anyone* to challenge the *first* anti-trans eo?

Same. Fuck, yes, same.

I wish I could give some words of comfort to trans people in the USA; what can I even say that wouldn’t seem trite? Survive any way you can.

President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday to restrict federal funding and support for gender-affirming care for transgender minors and some adults.

The White House is ordering a pause to all grants and loans. Programs affected are “including, but not limited to, financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal.” www.washingtonpost.c... archive.ph/7cwP4 #transgender

... shouldn't something happen when a man swears under oath to defend the constitution and then the *very next day* issues an order that is, in a fed judge's words, "blatantly unconstitutional"? Isn't the oath pretty obviously a lie?

This is what I wrote in my survey for why I'm cancelling my Amazon subscription and switching to other providers for all of my needs (Retail, Media and Devices, Web Services), of which I used all three. Open Letter screenshot attached. Text version here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hey while megaretailers profiting one of the richest men in world are out here doing this shit www.advocate.com/news/amazon-... maybe it's a fun time to switch to @librofm.bsky.social for audiobooks. Select the indie bookstore you'd like to support, listen away. Comp prices to aforementioned jerks
