You’re right about the need to organize locally, but I don’t think it applies in this context, given local movements can realistically impact state and federal politics at a slow pace at the best of times (which is usually ok–they’re local organizations, after all).

It’s frustrating to find a lack of mechanisms to affect URGENT change to the federal government without the benefit of time, legal consistency, privacy, powerful allies, money and resources, (I could go on for ages).

Can’t miss out on that NIMBY vote.

I can’t believe this wasn’t a satire project by some artist.

The real pedo bears are the friends you made along the way.

I don’t care much about my case and the internals but you can pry my flowing; gradient; pink, purple, and blue-lit peripherals, with gold ripples after a key or mouse click, from my dead hands. It’s the little things that make me not want to eject out of my chair when dealing with work shit. I feel like a golden bi wizard when I’m at my desk

It’s due to a large chunk of the people believing religiously indoctrinated to believe a text can be infallible.

If you start from that assumption, it’s a whole lot easier to understand why the constitution can be so rabidly defended from change and why the fantasy lore of its authors is rarely questioned.

Your regional library or local makerspace may have 3d printers you can print with.

Do you have any resources or documentation of your build? It sounds like a cool project.

Not directing this to you, specifically, but if you’re in the US and you feel similarly, please please please use this anger at this “slow” part of the political cycle to get involved in your local political scene.

This can look like uplifting people who align with your values in political organizations, volunteering in a specific candidate’s campaign to get them on the primary ballot, or even running for a local office yourself (yes you, even if you don’t think you’re qualified).

The people doing this “unsexy” work between elections are the people who eke out actual change. They always need more support during this time, and by becoming involved, you can see the impacts of your efforts, and get the right kind of people on primary ballots.

When these people win local and state offices, they build momentum (read: fundraising) and gain political experience they can leverage to run for even higher offices.

It’s still a lot of work, and it’s slow, but it’s the realistic, proven path to affecting politics when you’re not a nepobaby, a constitutional law professor, or a D-list celebrity.

All that being said, I very much support other activism for fighting the creeping threat of total fascism in the meantime as well.

Nice to see the thumbnail showing he’s still jacking off ghosts.

The royal “we”

Maybe they’re so big because no one has been made to read the entire thing, and thus, been irritated enough to shorten their own bills.

Fine. You can have it this one time. As a treat.

This is the highest-quality, shocked Pikachu I’ve ever seen.

They wouldn’t regardless. The congressional GOP has his spray-tan dick so far down their throats, they’d rather choke to death than admit the emperor has no clothes.

If we ever had hard proof of insider knowledge, my money is on SCOTUS. Both because it’s easier to buy a branch of government by colluding with five useful idiots, and because there’s a GOAT on the SCOTUS staff who leaks their bullshit to the public.

It was an awesome rover robot for tinkering and introducing kids to technology! Wish there were more versions of hardware like that.

That’s my first choice, personally, and if she wins the primaries, that’d be awesome.

Otherwise, I could still get pretty hyped about a Walz/AOC ticket, which would pave a more conventional path to a 2032 AOC presidential run.
