It's really not brought up enough how any Dem admin following a GOP admin has to spend pretty much its first two years just putting out arson fires set by the GOP before it can even really START to work on its own agenda.

The Rule Against Perpetuities

🏰meg⚔️ @Birthright Audiobook! @impavid.us · 3d

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.

I mean Mike Johnson is definitely a servile, spineless lapdog.

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

This cat wants you to know that the store only accepts company script, which is good cause that's how you're paid.

Tammi, yeah, that one. 2.1 @tammi.bsky.social · 12h

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Once again trying to remind you that

"Hey, this is how things are..." is not the same as

"I agree with how things are"

I imagine @maryrobinettekowal.com would appreciate this too

Being upset at and spending the limited time you actually have in a day protesting the out of power former Vice President instead of the active and actual ICE forces in the same city are two WILDLY different things.

Just say it: they dont want to actually risk themselves protesting ICE.

Dan Izzo @izzos.us · 8h

Nah, they're just cowards who won't risk protesting Trump or ICE

I mean it's a giant waste of effort and time given thing the CURRENT criminal politicians you could be protesting.

Now...Who did you vote for?

Dan Izzo @izzos.us · 8h

I voted in the way with the greatest chance of defeating Donald Trump.

Because I can recognize how much of a monumentally greater threat he is and don't consider my own self-righteousness more important than the danger to the people he intends to hurt.

Vermont’s Bread and Puppet Theater is on tour with a mission to make ‘the revolution irresistible.’ A group of 15 artists is traveling to 33 U.S. cities to stage this year’s show, ‘Our Domestic Resurrection Revolution in Progress.’ This is one of their acts.

There's people on social media posting about it being a tactic.

So whether it's actually happening is beside the point.

What does that have to do with anything?

Shining lasers at aircraft has been illegal for decades and has always been taken very seriously.

It's always been an incredibly STUPID thing to do.

Dan Izzo @izzos.us · 9h

Do not shine lasers at aircraft for fuck's sake. It is not a righteous act of protest.
It is a monumentally stupid and dangerous thing to do and will likely land you in prison.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 10h

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

So you don't think people bear some responsibility for the consequences of their votes?

I mean I get that helping Trump get elected is an embarrassment but just...own that you fucked up.

Buddy, I feel no need to defend Harris. This is just a pathetic waste of effort, she has zero power.

It's straight "we're too cowardly to protest the people with actual power now"

Dan Izzo @izzos.us · 10h

It's such a dumb argument because if this is the case then the go to is to preserve that status quo. Which would mean leaving stays in place.

Dan Izzo @izzos.us · 10h

Heck of a place to spend your protesting efforts given *waves hands* everything the current administration is doing.

Dan Izzo @izzos.us · 10h

So you helped hand the country back to Trump.

Gotta be thinking of the Expos right?

I enjoy the genre of texts you get when your baseball team suddenly does well from people who don’t know much about it. For example, my non-baseball fan sister was very confused because she thought the Blue Jays didn’t exist anymore 😂 I don’t laugh to be mean, I genuinely find it adorable.

Dan Izzo @izzos.us · 10h

Who did you vote for?

Dan Izzo @izzos.us · 12h

How pathetic is your actual life that you thought this was a worthy use of your time?

Seriously: stop and think for a second how meaningless of a life you have to have to be doing...this.

Quick look at their profile and they're full on "everything is planned, Zionists control everything. Trump is a Jewish tool, Biden is a tool of the Jews!" Etc. So...yeah....
