the part about that “i love hitler” groupchat is that it’s not surprising that all young republicans are nazis, this is just the average rightwinger these days. they’re all extremists who love every extreme position possible and everyone needs to realize that

I get Team Cherry, man. I'm having such a blast making our video game. The learning, the problem solving, the dirty looks I get from our engineers when I feature creep. Nothing like it.

if you feel the need to bolster your political movement by downplaying the decades-long effort to end american apartheid it's not saying much for your movement

Everyday we must remind people that gestapo agents and their enablers are committing atrocities. This is an ethnic cleansing. These are crimes against humanity. And they will be held accountable.

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

we should all go out on October 18 and it's good that so many of us are planning to. but we should all start talking to each other about what we're going to do next, too - what we will withhold together if the abuses continue. we can go on offense, too!

I am once again asking you to not fedpost.

Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness @tangledwilderness.bsky.social · 28d

Sometimes when people are online they feel the urge to post about something they really really want to do or claim to have done.

If the thing you're talking about is illegal, I promise no one thinks it's cool or is glad you posted it, with the sole exception of cops and prosecutors.

Please DON'T.

basically one CA handgun law already banned the newer safer glocks so the solution was they decided glocks are dangerous and needed to be banned outright

california banned the sale of glocks because they can easily be modified into automatic weapons. glock has updated models that solve this issue, but due to the CA approved handgun registry, no glock design newer than the gen 3 (the 1998 generation) can be sold in CA

Newer models of Glocks do have an added piece that is intended to block the Glock switch. But California's attorney general hasn't approved that model for sale here.

If Glock were to redesign the gun, it could be sold in California again. However, the current design was grandfathered in before California passed its stringent gun certification laws in 2001. A new design would have to go through a lengthy certification process.
