i’m gonna miss the onion when they get raided/taken over/repurposed
pretty much bid farewell to all “states rights” the GOP don’t like
are we just ceding
it was a noble effort, but that battle is lost. at this point you’re just making yourself a target. not that social medias won’t relinquish your data to the gestapo the instant it’s demanded. which they probably did years ago
just read up on 1930s germany
and we’re leaving out implications at the local level. why would a trumper sheriff bother going after someone for murdering marginalized peoples? why would any lawyer take up any case against a trump appointed judge (spoiler alert: it’ll be all of them, soon)?
oh yea, it’ll be all “we need to come together” and “we’re going to help everybody” for the next 2 months
then, the instant he steps into office, freedom of speech: gone. freedom of the press: gone. EPA: gone. dept. of education: gone. SEC: gone. consumer protections, civil rights, equality, accountability, justice-- all. fucking. gone.
expect mass imprisonments, assassinations, and other removals

you have about 2 months to prepare your asshole
for republicans, if you don’t toe the line, you’re out. no longer part of the club. only 100% unwavering loyalty and fealty to dear great leader will allow you a seat at the table. it’s a cult.

Gifford says her work is more focused on transparency rather than partisanship. But when asked if she believes the 2020 election was stolen, she quietly admits she does. When asked why, Gifford doesn’t really have an answer: “I have no idea. It’s just, I don’t know. It’s just a gut feeling. I’m sorry. I have no evidence.”
this is what happens when everyone doesn’t shame, mock, ridicule, etc. people who throw reality out the window in favor of made-up fantasy bullshit. years of “we should respect their viewpoints!” led directly to this. and now the very real threat of violence tomorrow
jfc when is the human species going to grow up and see religion as the make-believe bullshit that it is
actually just cynical anti-competitive business tactics

Legalizing recreationally is also legalizing it medically
but legalizing medically is NOT legalizing recreationally
this is the sort of shit we’ll be seeing from now on, except people will think it’s true, because anyone who calls it fake will be flagged as “troublemaker”
