We’re in a conundrum here:

  • The elections were rigged
  • The Constitution is a living document but ultimately didn’t take into account technology:
    • First Amendment didn’t anticipate the internet and how much quicker information flows. It also didn’t take into account that there could be financial and lethal repercussions.
    • Second Amendment didn’t anticipate weapons that only the government or wealthy could have. You might have a shotgun, but they have the ability to wipe out entire cities if push comes to.
  • People are in such dire straights living paycheck to paycheck with health insurance dependent on a job. Who wants to risk any of that when they have a family to support?
  • The Democrats who could have put a potential halt to this getting any worse are STILL thinking they can get changes after the Midterms

We’re stuck, nobody really knows what to do besides protest. Unfortunately, I think it’s going to come down to life and death decisions before there’s any hope of change.

Shitposting doesn’t solve anything but if it helps some people relieve a little stress 🤷🏻‍♂️

It looks like (at least here in the U.S.) that this is the only model that allows selection of the OS. I looked at cheaper models of different product lines by them and they all include Windows 11.

I don't understand why companies don't offer more Linux options these days, there's zero excuse

Aren't 99% of local and state law enforcement Trump supporters?

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday, but officials refused to let him visit an erroneously deported Maryland man who the Supreme Court has ordered returned to the United States.

Because he's dead

Ramirez, in a letter to House Homeland Security Committee chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) first obtained by Axios, requested he authorize an official CODEL to El Salvador.

Given that the Administration's use of CECOT for illegal and unconstitutional deportations is rife with 'administrative errors' ... I urgently request a CODEL to conduct oversight," she wrote.

The song Hotel California comes to mind here.

Reps. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) and Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) both shared photos of themselves at the notorious maximum security prison on Wednesday in posts on X praising the administration's deportation policies.

I can't even.....WTF

  • First they came for the "illegals" (i.e. anyone not born in this country or born to someone not born in this country) via database of green card and visa holders and other immigration databases and then disappear them
  • Next they come for SSDI and SSI recipients (not retirees) via the that database and they put these people on the DMF and then disappear them
  • Then they come for the protesters that are arrested or have been arrested at protests and then disappear them
  • Then they get health insurance companies to share their databases and come for people identify as a different gender than they were born with and disappear them

And now I have to stop because I'm making myself depressed even more.

Man I miss old Looney Tunes.

I went and saw the new movie with Porky Pig and Daffy Duck: The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie and it was pretty darn good.

And listen, I know now isn't really a good time to watch a movie and get distracted, but it did a pretty good job of distracting me and made my mental health a tiny bit better not having to think about what we're going through and will be going through.

I don't even think we have that long.

Well, I'll rephrase that: I don't think I have that long being on SSDI, Medicaid, and in HUD housing. I have no doubt I'll be disappeared as a "parasite" long before the collapse. I do have a cane and I'm not afraid to use it for what it wasn't intended for so I won't go down without a fight.

But given the fact that nearly half of Project 2025 has been implanted in a little less than 4 months it might happen at the end of summer -- especially if the debt ceiling doesn't get raised.

Losing my SSDI. That means I lose health insurance and HUD housing as well.

And that’s the realistic version since finding out about the DMF and the deporting legal fucking citizens stuff.
