They're ghouls out for blood. They don't care how many they kill or hurt with their bullshit. It's days like this I think of Luigi sweeping up monsters 🧹
Luigi is innocent. His court case is going very well btw, despite endless fuckery. They've got nothing on him
You're thinking of the adjuster
This is not an evidence-based administration, period
Absolutely nothing this asshole says or does is backed by any kind of science whatsoever. He's a crackpot and everything he does is based on crackpot ideas. Nothing coming out of the United States Health and Human Services can be trusted as long as he is in charge.
I wish they’d stop with the fucking obvious headlines.
Yes, RFK is an idiot.
Yes, Trump is a corrupt pedophile rapist.
Yes, Israel is committing a genocide.
WHAT THE FUCK CAN WE DO ABOUT ANY OF THIS SHIT?
I'll gladly watch Trump is a Rapist Pedophile as a headline every day for the next 3.5 years.
It is the news media's responsibility to report the news, not provide solutions.
First, we're on Lemmy so it's okay to say FUCK.
Second, the reason these articles are important is that if we don't continually point these things out these assholes are going to simply get away with doing what they're doing and have no accountability at all. It may not feel like they are being held accountable right now but, if the recent polls can be trusted, public opinion is definitely not on their side.
They’re already getting away with it. There is no accountability. If there were the last four presidents would be in The Hague. If there were we wouldn’t have reelected a twice impeached felon.
If stuff like this was obvious to everyone, people would've been smart enough to not vote for Trump. And articles like this do erode the number of people who support Trump or are anti-vax. Just because it's yet more evidence to you of fuckery from these twatwaffles doesn't mean it's not also a revelation for someone else.
…. Are you seriously ignorant of what needs to be done?
Apart from [REDACTED] every suggestion I hear is stuff I’ve been doing since I turned 18.
People will tell you not to be extreme, because that’s what they want you to do in order to justify taking rights from you. But I would argue, they’re already taking rights from you—so why boil in the pot slowly?
Vote as left as can make a difference in every election. Sometimes this will mean voting for someone who's identical to the Republican on 99% of issues because they're the only other candidate who can win.
Protest when the opportunity presents itself. This won't stop them, but it will show some people that they're not alone in being pissed and freaked out by all this.
If given the opportunity, make life suck for anyone who voluntarily associates with the admin. Sometimes that means taking a moment to share some unsolicited citizen feedback at their job or when you see them at random businesses, and sometimes it means taking their money for a coffee order and then dropping the ticket on the floor. Just make someone's day a little worse, and make sure they know it's not just because you don't like them, but also their choices and beliefs.
Help people around you who might be negatively impacted. The nature of the help is something you'll have to figure out in the moment.
If the situation becomes dire enough, remember why the second amendment exists and exercise your rights. Or flee to Canada, which is a valid option. People are worth dying for, a country isn't. And anything worth dying for is certainly worth living for.
Unfortunately, because they won the election and got the congressional votes too, there's very little that can be done inside the confines of the law. Right now they are operating inside the broad outline of the law, so it's harder to justify extrajudicial response. When that changes, that changes.
Lmfao “vote”
I’ve been doing all of those but the guns for the last quarter century and things just continue to get worse.
What you take away from my message is up to you.
The sad reality is that a large portion of the country is very conservative and there's only so much you can do within the system to stop the system from expressing the will of the people in it.
That the system failing people seems to make people move towards an ideology that makes the system fail more people is frustrating.
Most people aren't in favor of fascism, but a slow drift into fascism is preferable to every systemic reform that could do anything to stop it in most people's eyes. "Of course someone in Wyoming shouldn't get more votes than someone in California, but if we actually do that then politicians might pay more attention to the place with more people to the detriment of the place with less".
If I had a magic word that would solve everything and make people wake up and remember that our biggest prosperity has always come when we've invested the most into science, infrastructure and our society at large I promise you I'd tell you.
Well now I just hate America and hope it fails for being so shitty.
It’s not worth fighting anymore.
It's definitely worthy of severe remorse. I can't go so far as to hope for failure though, because too many perfectly good people would be ruined by that.
These people use emotion not fact to decide things. As a result facts are useless when trying to reason with them.
And yet, the kakistocracy marches on.
Reasons for anything he does are not backed up with facts
