This is not a good combination of trending topics 😬
So far, since Trump took office on January 20, he has spent his weeks having executive order signing shows that he now wants to ban the AP from for not participating in his delusions and flying back-and-forth to play golf at Mar-a-Lago.
How are your egg prices?
This administration is full of people who want power without responsibility because they intend to exploit rather than govern.
Remember, labor unions were the negotiated compromise to blowing up factories with dynamite
the United States is basically a test case for what happens when you try to create an autocracy while doing none of the things that autocracies do to keep themselves stable, combined with a population where the vast majority have no experience of what an autocracy is like
I have 3.5 hours in VII so far and I'm not *mad* I just have questions
Yeah they removed it from VII.
There's not much to do in the middle of the night besides get lost in my own head, which pretty much contradicts what I've been working on in therapy. Not sure what the alternative is when the rest of the world is out of order though.
That's how I end up on my phone for 6 hours and think it's only been 30 minutes 🤷🏻
ABA It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform. Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law. The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.
Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.
I just want the ability to automate my scouts like in Civ V. Don't make me direct them every turn.
Republicans want you to hit your kids instead of giving them health care
I changed mine to X back in 2021 and I'm kinda regretting it now

A tweet by Karen Piper (@PiperK) reads: "There it is. Trump would have been convicted of 'conspiracy to defraud the United States' and 'conspiracy to deprive citizens of voting rights' if he had not been elected to be president. The U.S. is in totally uncharted territory." Below the tweet is an excerpt from a document that discusses the Department's view that the Constitution prohibits the indictment and prosecution of a sitting President, regardless of the gravity of the crimes charged, and indicates that sufficient evidence existed to obtain a conviction at trial.
U.S. voters elected a felon and prevented further prosecutions of him for his many crimes. Heaven help us all.
conservatives won everything on every level politically and culturally and still finding new things to complain about
My wife @nhpaxton.bsky.social writes Lit RPG!
Does BlueSky have an "unhinged garbage" starter pack because I need more of that on my feed
Referring to LGBT+ people as "mentally ill" or "abnormal" is not "a discussion."
It's not "an opinion."
It's not "free speech."
It's not "debate."
It's hatemongering, with the clear and obvious intent to mark a minority out for subjugation, torture and violence.
why is it called lesbian knifeplay fiction and not slice-of-wife erotica?
I've been having fun with Sprout Valley
Oh look it's me
