I've got no horse in that race and feel like this isn't the time for that debate. Regardless, a LOT of people still get most of their news from all of the legacy media and I really need all of them to be doing actual reporting instead of spinning BS for this admin. We already have Fox for that.

They want the circuit court to act tonight so they can go to SCOTUS if necessary tomorrow morning before Breyer's stay expires. Whining and begging for rushed judicial action because they got smacked down hard basically.

Now. Not so much/consistently at the beginning of the week. And that's 3 publications, with a notable absence of any of the legacy/mainstream broadcast media doing the same thing. MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc, all dropping the ball big time.

Seriously 😩 I did not have international vaccine tourism on my bingo card for this round of stupidity in the WH and yet here we are...

Possible, for sure. But a lot of the initial research for most pharmaceuticals isn't done by Pharma, it's grant-funded stuff at universities, which is being gutted. There's no profit margin to be had in early stage research like that.

Intelligence is not something I've really come to associate with this administration, alas.

FIFA sadly is ridiculously corrupt. The last world cup was in Qatar. I hold zero hope they'll pull games from the US, but they really should. The IOC maybe is more likely to act? Maybe? 😬

Direct Action and Civil Disobedience have many layers.

The amount of "I want to keep politics out of my smut, okay?" I got in response was physically painful. I finally gave up after pointing out eventually they will come for our right to own and read said smut too, but it was like talking to an apathetic wall.

I love that. I kept repeating "you can't want to read stories about gay/queer men falling in love with one another written by queer ppl, then turn around and vote for the party who explicitly wants to take rights away from those groups, and pretend one has nothing to do with the other."

They do. They think *they* and their base are the oppressed people. It pains me deeply as a lover of musical theater, literature, history, and this country 🤦♀️

As do I. And the idea that they'd go Dem for Newsom has me absolutely dying. It is the laugh I needed this morning 🤣

I've been trying to explain this to people in a book discord group I'm in ever since Nov when some of them got upset that queer authors who write queer romance were making it very clear that they didn't want Trump voters in their fb groups, buying their books, etc.

Fair enough. How about you keep your Debbie Downer attitude out of the way of those of us who still want to fight for our friends, family, communities, freedoms, and country? You're absolutely allowed to have that viewpoint but dragging others down with you doesn't help anyone.

Sure would be nice if the major American media outlets made sure to make that clear instead of *helping* Shitler's narrative about all of LA being chaotic upheaval 🤦♀️

This attitude plays right into their hands. A third of eligible voters (at most) voted for him, some likely for not these reasons but due to a FUCKTON of propaganda working exactly as intended, which means 2/3 did NOT, and that matters. I don't plan to surrender in advance, do you?

That's fine, we're all just guessing right now anyways. I'm just going off what I've seen and read from military/vet sources I and my husband follow because this area is one of our biggest concerns. I'd be glad to never know because things don't escalate more but don't like my odds 😒

That's the entire point. They don't get to be the only ones with a right to use the American flag. We are ALL Americans, and plenty of us would say MAGA shouldn't be using it because they're using it while supporting a party and leader who actively wish to overthrow what America means.

Simply being in the US illegally is a civil offense, not a criminal one. What damage have they specifically caused? Any peaceful protest will draw some amount of bad actors, unfortunately, but this is a small amount and most (all?) injuries so far have been due to actions of police, not protestors.

The soldiers at the Ft Bragg event were given the same instructions as the ones given for Sat in DC - those with differing political views need not show up basically. They specifically wanted the optics of the military cheering for him, to create a perception that likely isn't true.

They're doing raids in red states already, but they won't make the big show ones in red states bc the point is to recreate what's happening in LA - protests that "need" fed intervention. Red states will call their NG themselves if they need it and 🟠💩 won't want to make them look bad (yet).
