  • It's soul crushing at this point to see how effectively a bad actor can fuck up the US. A carnival barker is nominating arsonists and telling everyone the bonfire is going to be amazing and loved by all, and instead of giving consideration to what the fuel for the bonfire will be, the half of the Senate comprised of arsonists and pyromaniacs has decided the bonfire must be funded at all costs and should be the biggest bonfire ever.

    I fucking hate this. Fuck fascists.

  • This is the baseline standard we should be expecting in these trying times. Extenuating circumstances call for extenuating measures, and our representatives need to start showing up for the job in visible and historic ways just like this. Set the standard and hold the line. Fascists are not honest negotiators.

  • I believe we are rapidly headed toward smoking counterfeit Cuban cigars laced with unknown amounts of formaldehyde inside stuck elevators, sadly

  • Don't you do this to me, lemmy689. Don't you hurt me with your heartfelt soliloquys and your lustful eyes

  • My crazy mom says she's looking to move to Uruguay because when the nukes start falling they will most likely not have a ton of fallout to deal with.

    I'm gonna run toward the light in that kind of scenario, personally. Nature will rebuild. In a WWIII scenario, the winner is evolution. Life will, uh, find its way.

  • Northeast South Canada, checking in here! My people moved into this land just a few generations ago. The motherland calls...

  • This is the way I'd go if it were me. Debian minimal, add in unattended-upgrades + rkhunter + fail2ban + ufw to keep it locked down, and then set it up as a kiosk for whatever I needed (something like here: https://github.com/PhilGoud/xfce-kiosk )

  • As is almost always the case in this genocide. This isn't "Hamas using people as human shields" like Bibi claims. This is the IDF using all of Gaza as live targets.

  • Who are the other 4+ people killed in this attack ON A HOSPITAL??

  • I kinda assumed they had either already exfiltrated whatever they wanted to add to their AI dataset or had backdoor access at this point. But that's the neat part! No one knows!

  • 9 votes. 2 (maybe) recuse, leaving 7. 3 of those 7 appointed by Trump, another a swing voice but also the same one that apparently thought t had kingly immunity in a way that in the past most reasonable folks thought was un-American.

    I mean, better odds are better odds. But I'm not confident this isn't a bought court already, recusal or not.

    I am about to read the article, I've not read it yet, my comment is based solely on the actors in this particular description.

    Edit:

    Vox's Ian Millhiser reported Wednesday that "if the Supreme Court accepts an argument raised by a federal appeals court, which struck down the federal program, it would bring about one of the biggest judicial power grabs in American history, and hobble the government's ability to do, well, pretty much anything."

    Yup, so far, I'm of the same low confidence

    Edit2, I'll try and stop after this, sorry:

    While "all six conservatives now sitting on the Supreme Court can credit Leo with helping to shepherd their confirmations," the watchdog's report states, the right-wing legal activist is "close personal friends" with Alito and Thomas.

  • Exactly, it's instinct for him. The planners are all the people around him, and they are pushing their plans (see Project 2025, for example), but for Trump all the stuff he says and does is automatic. That's my read, anyway.
