I’m coping so hard by hoping that we swing very hard to the left, if only just so that these cynical, fossilized assholes live to see their bullshit rulings used against them.

Explain, please

I read AOC +3 as like a d&d style stat modifier.

AFAICT, the law is not very well settled at all about whether you have a right to defend yourself when the cops are acting like a bunch of bozos. There’s case law that supports people defending themselves from middle of the night no-knocks raids, and also case law that basically says “it’s your fault for not just magically knowing it was the police”. There’s case law that says that you are within your rights to not obey lawful orders when the police fail to properly identify themselves, but it’s also an absolute mess of state level laws and rulings, with some states basically being like “you are legally required to just know who the cops are” and others requiring that the police very clearly identify themselves with some type of proof of who they are.

Yeah, nothing! I’ll send over the email, thanks!

Still waiting on news from .zip. I applied weeks ago, never got an email. Ah, well, I’m trying out piefed while I wait.

Please bear in mind that I’m trying to be helpful. If you were interested in doing more, maybe you can start a stream on Twitch, then? It would certainly get a lot more reach than Lemmy. I think Lemmy has a great role as a way for leftists to network, but its reach is really limited.

I want them throwing the goddamn spaghetti plate. I want to see them acting with the same urgent desire to prosecute and harass Trump as the Republicans have to prosecute anyone who isn’t a rich, white, straight man. Don’t go into the darkness with dignity; get unhinged, motherfuckers! The republic is already dead, we are marching into dictatorship, the time for high roading is over.

Hey, have you considered running? I’m not trying to be snarky, some of these mfs basically go wholly unopposed, and you can’t possibly do worse than not running at all.

Israel was always going to do just want they wanted to unless someone stood up to them. That was never going to be Trump, nor was it going to be Harris, let’s be real here for a second. That sweet, sweet AIPAC cash is just too hard to say no to, and, frankly, Israel is a really charged topic that candidates would prefer to avoid. I find your distinction meaningless, it’s like handing an alcoholic booze while saying “nooo, please don’t drink it, it’s bad for you” only to turn around say that you didn’t help them destroy their life because you oh so gently reminded them that booze is bad for their health as you handed it to them. This is a cigarette company defense.

They’re doing it to Trump, just on Iran, because they know Trump isn’t going to meaningfully stand up to them, while still not wanting to get the US into full blown war. They’d be doing it to Harris too, because the DNC didn’t even trust her enough to let her run her own campaign, they sure as fuck weren’t going to let her run her own presidency. We’d probably have some DNC turbodonor or AIPAC mf as SecDef.

I’ve been very loosely watching this race from here in Central Cali. Great job, guys! Here’s hoping Cuomo fucks off and goes and finds himself a job being a scarecrow.

This is the kind of shit why I say that white supremacists and Nazis love the state of Israel. Both they and Israel insist that this is what Jews are really about, at the expense of actual Jewish people just trying to live their lives.

It’s tacos and energy drinks.

/ the new Meyers-Briggs Personality Test. It’s literally an ego toy, something you use to enhance the narrative that you tell yourself about yourself.

Watch the infomercials until something remotely interesting starts.

Remember when Israel kept yanking the football away from the Biden administration every time that Biden announced new Gaza ceasefire talks? At this point, you’d have to be a fucking fool to believe a word that slithers out of Nettanyahu’s head. Israel is working damn hard on burning as much political capital as it possibly can as fast as it can. Of course, they’re not doing it to do something cool like fighting climate change or build a moon base, it’s simply to murder as many people as they can as fast as they can.

"They’ve been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

I honestly to goodness can’t think of the last time I heard Trump drop an F bomb. I think he’s actually rather cross with them

The part I find surprising is that dealing with an ectopic pregnancy is very time sensitive and very unforgiving. If you wait too long, it ruptures and your patient crashes and dies, and that’s that. It’s a bit like “well, we haven’t stopped you from intervening with an aortic aneurysm, you just need two supporting opinions first lmao”.
