USADF's chair, Ward Brehm, instructed staff to block DOGE and Peter Marocco, a Trump ally, citing legal requirements.

This should have been happening at every office they went to

If I'm coming back before the iron age, electricity isn't my biggest concern. All you need for a magnet is two pieces of iron to rub together, and copper is one of the easiest to work metals on Earth. Indigenous people here in Michigan were mining and working copper over 6000 years ago. Your dynamo doesn't need to be good, it just has to prove the concept.

Rotating slide projector is also an easy one 😉

A copper coil, a magnet, and a repetitive source of motion is not that hard. You'd have to go really far back not to have access to a mill, and even if you did, it wouldn't be that hard to invent a hand crank. The question is how you make the electricity useful. I think a simple heating element is probably the best option. Show them the river cooking their food, and the benefits should be obvious

It's not just this one move. Pathetic and petty describes his entire worldview

I think it's what the Emperor did in Star Wars

Yeah, it took me a long time to get this, because I was too impressed by the design lol

Correct pluralization and it shows which door is open!

Data preservationists are beating back the coming dark age. They're heroes.

When you're trying to get a political movement going, there's no such thing as an overused slogan. The fact that it was getting used so much was evidence it was working, and part of that was because it got at the right in the same way that they try to other minorities

Yeah, I feel like it would have been funnier without the text

I'm told the government said they'd allow anyone involved in the murder, even if they didn't do any damage

Just totally shut down land trade through the center of the continent? Wars have been fought over less lol

If he even committed the alleged act at all 🤷

It looks just like the Tik Tok ban to me. Racist/Nationalist nonsense that doesn't solve the actual underlying problem, which is lack of regulation in the US

My empire for some real Jedi politics in mainline canon

The earth is a marble with a smooth base, so it doesn't roll away

Unfortunately, I think there's an argument that insurance parasites count as a civilian population

I'm making an informed decision! It's a bad decision, sure, but it's an informed one!

That's the republican playbook. Do everything you can to destroy the government, and then point at the rotting corpse that's left as evidence that government doesn't work
