“Waaahhh! Nobody wants to buy my canned air because they cracked down on air pollution!”

At $65K per year I’m at least happy that only kids with rich parents will be subjected to this shit.

For now…

Kids don’t have lobbying firms with million dollar budgets.

I’d settle for a ban on polling while the polls are open.

A friendly reminder Ukraine accepts donations towards its national defense.

One, that’s every candidate. Two, yeah we already know he’s authoritarian lite.

This has happened all over there US already. Someone challenges your right to vote and it’s your job to prove your eligibility. Can’t show up to your appointment? No ID? No bills going to that address? Only have a PO Box address? No voting for you!

And I believe Japan is too.

I’ll leave this here.

He’s also, what, 0 for 100 on nominating qualified candidates that faithfully execute their duties?

The trump card, no pun intended, was getting one-party-rule. The heads of department have massive amounts of leeway to fuck things up so that’s exactly what they’ve been doing. I would want a rule where nominees have to have been employed by the department at least 8 years but that’s not a silver bullet to this problem. The authoritarian right has been planning this moment since at least Reagan.

Any specific recommendations?

Another take from EFF whom I usually regard highly: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/02/its-30th-birthday-section-230-remains-lynchpin-users-speech

The Coast Guard is the hardest pill to swallow. The TSA mainly harass and profile people and FEMA pretty much only responds to issues in red states these days so good riddance to them.

Yeah, the data is too valuable not to record all day long.

It would be good if they had a way to limit range so it couldn’t focus on anything that isn’t within 10 ft of the door.

I like this. Some of my projects I’m working on 5-6 branches at once (ADHD) and I’ll forget which branch had that “cool new feature” I came up with spur of the moment.

The Nat Guard were the good ones for the most part and having them bear witness to ICE brutality could’ve worked in our favor.

No shit. The rise of Christo-fascism has been a direct contributor to not wanting more kids.

Rewind to 2021, red states are rejecting billions in Federal money because it’s earmarked for an actual purpose and not a blank check.
