I don’t disagree. But I gotta say, I didn’t realize how much I needed to feel the slight glimmer of hope after seeing the turnout at my local protest in person. I live in a pretty small rural town, granted it’s on the northern California coast, and we have a pretty even spread of old school hippies, conservative ranchers, and libertarian cannabis farmers. Today, it felt like the crowd size exceeded everyone’s expectations by far, not to mention almost all folks passing by were supportive. It felt emboldening, like there could truly be some power building here.

I don’t really have high hopes things can be resolved peacefully, tbh. In fact, I watched some MAGAt today stop his truck in the middle of the protest, get out to assault some good folks, and proceed to get his ass kicked to a reasonable extent before driving away. I’m a usually pessimist, sometimes a doomer, and often not wrong. But I think now’s the time to shelve the cynicism and encourage as many people as possible to turn out. The maga horde, the excruciatingly loud minority, need the dose of reality that their opposition is real, gaining momentum, and pissed.

Yep! It made the rounds back when he became Speaker of the House.

Idk, it’s well documented that he has a weird “porn accountability” arrangement with his kid though. Meaning they monitor each other’s keystrokes to make sure the other’s not stroking their sin stick.

Does it really matter if he’s deliberately advancing a fascist agenda?

Hmm… I’m not in those departments, but I already have a conclusion for their report: if that happens, you will be assassinated.

Yep. It’s so backwards… Like if you can focus on collecting the same amount of taxes from a few rich assholes every year, why even bother with the other millions of us? I mean, I know it’s rigged against us plebs, but it makes no sense from a workload management perspective.

The right just elected someone with boobs, homie

Got it, thanks! I’m sure there are some cases where it makes sense to use this feature, but I find it gross if this is the common/intended use.

That’s fucked. Of course this asshole on his high horse is a hypocritical coward.

I’m admittedly ignorant how these platforms work, as I’ve gone out of my way to avoid them. How is it possible for the sheriff’s office to filter/delete comments made by other users? Is that something anyone can do for any comments made on your own posts?

Also, if these accounts are managed by a government office, can the hidden/deleted comments be retrieved through a public records request? (Assuming they comply with such request, though I wouldn’t hold my breath…)
