Impeachment is how you do that...

The house brings articles of impeachment, and term it's up to the Senate to decide whether or not the president should be convicted, and thus removed from office

Then people started "well red is this, yellow is that, green is that ...."

But the stripes always meant something:

Hot pink = Sex

Red = Life

Orange = Healing

Yellow = Sunlight

Green = Nature

Turquoise = Magic/Art

Indigo = Serenity

Violet = Spirit

Flags being symbolic was never the issue. The progress flag was made in lieu of black, trans, and intersex queer USAmericans being excluded from big, corporate backed, pride events, which brought to the fore, a slew of intra-queer tensions.

By making this new flag, it was a way of symbolically coming together. And it's stuck around because of, well... Everything going on lately.

Weirdly , I think the chevron works. But instead of adding all of the extra stripes , I think it would have been better to make the chevron a single color.

Gilbert Baker, before he died, added a lavender stripe to the original flag to for 'diversity'. I say we blend the chevron with Baker's vision and have it be a singular lavender color

That said, while I think that would be more aesthetically pleasing, I have come around on the progress pride flag in the same way that I like the flag of Maryland. It's so busy that it's circled around from being ugly to charming.

I've seen TERFs use it less, as they've started to win the "trans debate" less of a need to disguise their shit as "protecting lesbians"

Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about

So, one could argue that the well regulated militia in question is constituted by the National Guard, as they nominally are the armed forces of individual States, and can be nationalized under certain circumstances.

Except for the fact that Trump just nationalized the California National Guard when he's nominally not supposed to....

Like the relationship between Juche and Marxism-Leninism.

Ok but what is the relationship between Juche and Marxism-Leninism? Because I've tried to wrap my head around it a few times and always struggle.

(Also, Juche Gender, let's fucking gooo!)

It's so obviously intentional... Now log off and do something to feed your community, like these soyfacing comrades are

He treats Gaza like a natural disaster, meanwhile a contingent of .world users are singing his praises for calling Russia's invasion of Ukraine Imperialist.

Truly, the new Pope is American...

He already crashed out, in his car, on the fucking freeway. Dude is unwell

tbh, their funtion isn't all that objectionable. Mixed use buildings are cool and good, actually. But the fact that they're made of cardboard and duct tape, look like ass, and are signifiers of gentrification are what suck about them.
