Honestly, wherever these images come from, if they were posted every day it would probably help visibility of what they actually DO.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yes, but also with sources or explanations. Because holding the floor for 30 hours in one day sounds like sensationalist AI drivel.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Seriously? Those 30 hours aren't in no days, they were during two or more days. And one of those days, the last it seems, was the day this image is about. It's not like they'd change the whole title of these images just for that. Nowhere does it say "held it for 30 hours during the past 24 hours", which it seems like you only read it as. It's the same as millions of other things, you can say something happened one day that had been going on for any amount of period before and after that. It still happened that day.

Imagine if they did this before the election! And I'm one of the people that massively blame the (non)voters for Trump's return to power...

[–] [email protected] 93 points 2 weeks ago

I legitimately appreciate this. I see some people saying it's not enough, which is true, but if not for this I'd have no idea they even showed up to work today.

Today, they tried to stop Musk getting access to all of the student data and were stopped at the door. Now Doge, Musk, Trump and his Project 2025 minions have access to our records for

  • financial
  • health
  • student

If there are any of the good guys left in government, we need to scream louder and wake them up.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe musk is just trying to do us a solid by paying off our student, medical, and credit card debt?

Nah.

Americans sure are very demanding of a party they refused to vote for and told to fuck off this past election

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago

They’re demanding of the people who they did vote for and did elect. Those Democrats in the house didn’t just get in for free. They had to win their elections.

When you’re an elected politician in an opposition party you don’t just get to take a vacation until the next election. Your job is to hold the government accountable. It’s a vital role.

A system where the governing party has no opposition is called a one-party state. If you’re American you probably don’t want to live in one of those.

I mean a lot of us did vote Democrat, all the good it did

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Dems don't understand that Americans are idiots. You need to be popular to get voted in. It's not enough to do good stuff in the shadows.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

You don't need to be popular, people just have to have a feeling they know you personally.

Sadly it doesn't matter at all heat you do, you just have to have good PR.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

This.

It's like "what did you do for me lately now that we voted to fuck everyone over?"

Let's hear more from the Jill Stein crowd. I'm sad, and schadenfreude is all I've got.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The time for little shit like this is at an end. Fucking break down some doors. Get arrested. It’s better to get arrested now than when the fascists have all the cards.

Who's going to bell the cat?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Can someone please tell me if this is a joke or serious?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It is real and you better believe that letter was strongly worded.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

If they don’t get results immediately, next week they’ll go to DEFCON: Concerned

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

This is factual.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

they wrote two documents, held two meetings, and moved a task to the “started” column?

we’re cooked bro

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

They also turned their heads slightly, thought about lunch, and took a sip of a beverage. They’re SO LAME bro.

No, that’s an absurd reduction of their fighting, which is the only official fighting we’ve got, because they lost the majorities, because a lot of people drank the koolaid and decided not to try and defeat trump for - reasons.

Still, if that’s upsetting, there’s always calling your republiQan Senator’s office and telling them what you want. It’s only a phone call. You can totally do it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, give them some credit. I've never worked 30 hours in one day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

wow sending letters you say. I hope it wasn't sternly worded.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not only that, but they introduced a law! I'm sure the fascist group taking over the country illegally will be very scared.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

yeah that was funny. hi, man we've been calling literally hitler for the past decade, here's the keys to the country. but beware, we will ask you not to do some stuff!

  • Denied access to education department by a skinhead, and did nothing.

  • Denied access to EPA, and did nothing.

  • Denied access to the treasury department, and did nothing.

They need to be doing 100x more than this, and they need to be going in armed and forcefully not letting little dweebs illegally hold them back.

Some politicians need to show up with a group of police they trust accompanying them. Announce that they wish to peacefully enter the building and start walking forward. Make the fascists either back down, or force their hand if they take the next step and physically assault those attempting to enter the buildings.

Bullies only understand violence or the threat of it. And no kids, I don't mean bullies like you dealt with on fucking Facebook. I mean the kind of bullies that actually beat your ass in front of the teacher.

Democrats are the strongly worried moms at PTA, Republicans are the kids out there kicking ass.

What ever shall we do?!

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nooooo Democrats only know how to genosiiiide! They should go up to the EPA, and if they don’t let ‘em in, see they give ‘em a jumping roundhouse kick! KaPow! Then the next guy that comes up, WHAMMO a big ol judo chop! Then they all pull out their lasers and be all like pew! Pew! Pew!

Also, this country’s capitalist underpinnings must be destroyed. I are a trained socialastical anarcocomminist here to make sweet sweet revolution in my pants! And I’ll never vote! Because it’s dumb!

[–] Furball 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is my kind of schizoposting

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t be so ableist.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 weeks ago
