We need, today and every day of this fascist clown show, to do two contradictory things at once:
(1) recognize that what these bozos said is ridiculous, ignorant, unserious, just pulled straight out of their butts, and
(2) treat what they said as a real and deadly serious possibility, and act accordingly.

I'm sure it will shock everyone that the Trump admin DOJ's lawyers weren't competent to argue its new position in federal court. The judge had to call a recess so that the attorneys could go read the policy they were defending. Shocker #2: Hegseth "egregiously misquoted" the studies they were relying on to argue their position. The studies actually say that trans troops are more ready and more deployable than a comparison population not excluded from service.

An illustration shows a slender elf woman with pale skin and long white hair, wearing full plate armor. Two red flowers are attached to each shoulder pad. She holds a silver necklace with a pendant that appears to be a broken heart. On her left side, she holds a shield with an etched design of a pair of wings. White fabric hangs from her shoulders and waist. The background is dark gray.

Q5: @MakersHour
Most supply chains are pretty long these days. What would have to change to make your making more local?
A5: When I need to buy hardwoods I go to TreeStation. They only take down trees if that have to come down for safety reasons, and then the timber is planked for sale. As they are local, and only work locally, I know that the timber is also local.
I could improve my supply chain by only sourcing my timber from them, but that isn’t always practical.

Bitte zeichnet diese Petition noch mit, falls Ihr es noch nicht getan habt und verbreitet diese an Freund*innen und Bekannte weiter.
Es ist zwar schön, dass andere Plattformen horrende Zahlen an Unterschriften verzeichnen konnten, aber hier wäre die Mitzeichnung wohl am ehesten effizient. Danke!

"New Quinniac poll:
If there's a #shutdown...
32% blame Dems
31% blame Republicans
22% blame Trump
That's a majority blaming Trump and/or the GOP. Hang tough, Dems.
Note that only 22% of independents would blame Dems for a shutdown. 34% of them would blame the GOP and 22% would blame Trump, a total of 56%. A shutdown is clearly likely to be worse for Republicans.
In short, the vast majority of those who would blame Dems are Republicans already."

in reply to Foone🏳️⚧️ • • •A less extreme version of this is an alternative way to unlock the Sonic 3 level select (the official way is extremely difficult because of tight timing and the game doesn't check for inputs on every single frame).
AFAIK, Sonic 2 and 3 share the same RAM byte location for "level select unlocked". So doing Sonic 2's level select, resetting, ripping out the cart (I think on the level select screen), swapping with Sonic 3, and resetting again, will retain the "level select unlocked" bit.
