to be clear we also shouldn't have done Venezuela. It is good that Maduro isn't in office anymore but the way we did it provides for plenty of blowback as well.
military force should be a last resort and generally reserved for use in response to military force, not the first tool we reach for.
honestly we can do it all
but we should have never done the war, baby man thought it would be like Venezuela, but the situation is very different and it will boondoggle the whole world for decades unfortunately.
I hope folks are getting some sort of value/inspiration out of the Artemis mission, being a kid that was very interested in space and rocketry and watching challenger in class, and then watching the world low key give up on crewed space missions other than iss for 40 years kind of left me too jaded.
I want to say Mad Season just to make it seem like there is an argument to the tourists.
1. An incredible bill is moving fast in Maryland protecting transgender students.
It would apply to ANY "program or activity," and would even include private schools. This would include sports, bathrooms, and more.
It even has a private right of action.

The "no one after me" people are the most vile engines of hate this nation has, whether they don't want more people to cross the border, move to 'their' small town, or... I guess Chicago?
When they are pro-immigration but think their locality must be preserved exactly as it was when they arrived. 🤡
People need to drop their wordle subscriptions and give the money to independent journalism instead, I'm sick of seeing nyt terribly inaccurate low effort reporting on the various wars, trans issues, and politics.
I guess Portugal is off the list of places to escape to this time.
All this over some low tier Judean thunder god. sad.
I've rented a car with strangers from the flight and driven in similar situations.
I had a friend that was a drummer in the 80s, unfortunately he contracted Adidas.
I had one of these at work about a year ago, I landed on not participating.
hoping the llm bubble collapses soon
I hope next time someone decides to tell joe rogan a funny anecdote involving a trans woman they just say 'woman' until he has already bought in, not because I don't think he won't still descend into 10 minutes of unhinged TBI fueled blood libel, but it would be even more pathetic when he does.
If you need more comedy, look into how many inflatable decoys Russia has blown up in Ukraine, I think they are still reporting having killed 4x more Patriot launchers than Ukraine has ever had.
If they don't let people have hrt until post puberty that's a lot more surgery bucks they can farm us for.
I don't live in NYC, but even a small protest at city hall would probably help get some attention? Maybe that is already happening? Squeaky wheels theory and all.
Always possible Trump talked him into abandoning the trans folks in return for every other kind of favor, but he campaigned on us, so...
usually the third button down on the left side mutes it
I wonder if the db level of the sound is high enough to be considered an assault...
Wild that it doesn't occur to them to reccomend we eat the now abundant soy we can't sell to China since Trump fucked the shit out of world trade by embargoing his own country with tariffs.
this is what they said it would be like under socialism
I have no problem with child rapists dying but, I don't trust a government that thinks filming ice is domestic terrorism to prosecute and enforce laws correctly or fairly.
We also have a long history of executing brown folks on little to no evidence, so no, life in prison should be the max.
It would still be a shitty thing but imagine if they had even found the morality to send folks temporary complaint ID instead of just that fuck you letter.
wild to actually feel any positivity towards an ai company, hopefully the rest hold the line.
we're 100% going to end up with murderbots powered by mechahitler/grok though.
Honestly I'm more concerned about maintaining our system of alliances and avoiding a breakdown of world order.
but i do have a kitchen table
Obviously my own civil rights are important but Ukraine, Gaza, Taiwan, Greenland are where it ALL falls apart.
Why abandon trade to fight over land again?
it isn't even the first time
but maybe we will do something about it this time
wish it was November
When I lived in KC I wished that Kansas would take it away from MO, the MO state legislature was constantly meddling in KC affairs.
I'm sure KC is still doing what they can but their police work for the state not the city.
I thought it was impossible but Kansas has managed to be a worse place than Missouri.
we need to protect our wetlands
Weird, I thought republicans hated the "fairness doctrine" and had been raging about it for decades, they used to be for "states rights" and the 2a too, I wonder what other long held core principles Trump will abandon as he desperately clings to power?
I used to think it would be cool if everyone (willingly) joined the US, but I think the Europeans might have solved democracy better than we did.
Hopefully the next president applies to join the EU.
