The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

If the goal is to allow as many people who want to participate in the election to vote, thne early voting and mail-in voting are good solutions. Otherwise, clutching pearls that everything should happen on a single day looks like you don’t want full participation.

More than 150 million people voted in the last presidential election, a not insignificant portion of the US population. Election Day is held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, a normal work day.

Every president in my lifetime got the party nomination by running in the party’s primary held on different days in different states. It’s called “primary season.”

Also, on the federal level Senators and Representatives are fund raising for their campaigns throughout their term.

Alito was getting hung up on the word “day” in Election Day. When it comes to presidential elections in the US, there are Elections Days (plural).

At this point I don't wonder how much insider trading is going on. I wonder how much policy is being made with the purpose of insider trading on it.

if you're travelling and you are a documented citizen (esp if you're white/white-passing), you need to speak up & interrupt any racial profiling you witness. We are absolutely defeated if we allow ICE agents to harass people in the broad light of crowded airports. Don't be a good deputy citizen.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/economy/sheris-ranch-union-united-brothel-workers/

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 NIV

For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness.

This is typical abuser behavior:

1. Hurt people.

2. When you get caught hurting people and your normal blame-shifting isn't working, soften your words and act like you love them.

3. Hurt people again.

4. Repeat these steps until something irreversible happens.

www.salon.com/2026/01/14/i-felt-like-i-was-going-to-pass-out-and-die-immigration-agents-are-using-banned-chokeholds/ Kind of makes me think that the new 47-day training of ICE officers includes the use of chokeholds. The point being to terrorize others into early submission.

Strike!
The régime will collapse within weeks if not days. It's your only option.

Protests are fine, but achieve little. Go for the life blood of the fascists which is the colour green.

re Jimmy Kimmel. Was it protests or cancelling subscriptions that was responsible for reinstating him?
