Long day cleaning a deceptively clean looking house. But at least I didn't include the editor in chief of the Atlantic in an illegal group chat outlining an attack on Yemin on Signal. So there's that.
@rbreich "Meet me in the middle, says the unjust man. As you take a step towards him, he takes a step back. Meet me in the middle, says the unjust man..." quote from @JuliusGoat
@ProPublica TRUMP CANNOT GIVE ELON AUTHORITY. CONGRESS HAS THAT POWER NOT THE PRESIDENT!!! DOGE AND MUSK HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO DO ANYTHING!!! THIS IS ALL ILLEGAL!!!
@benroyce In CA, the cops have been instructed to not cooperate with ICE, because they're Federal, not State. If you see cops cooperating with ICE or doing ICE's job, get all the information you can and report them to the state AG. Also, there's a chance it may be a (non governmental) white supremacist group kidnapping someone. @GottaLaff@TonyStark
@mcnado@iris Incompetently written EOs *are* intentional. Poorly written rules help fascists spread fear with uneven enforcement. It makes people comply in advance. ("Am I breaking the law if I do this? I better not do it to be on the safe side")
@cdarwin A lot of those millionaires whose homes burned down vote republican. They are *not* going to be happy with this. There's going to be a lot of fighting in the GOP if he trys to get this into law. Odds are, though, he's just posturing.
@mekkaokereke You posted a great thread on Blusesky yesterday about the importance of controlled burns and how native tribes had used them for thousands of years. I wanted to post it on Mastodon, I can't find it here. Sorry to ask, but do you have a link?
Once again trying to sign into another government website that once again has a different verification process that once again needs my last name and once again doesn't work because my last name is 2 words and the first word starts with a lower case letter. (von, which many people misspell as van) And, once again, no one is answering the phone at the gov office to help me.
Clear Blue has a pregnancy test for 6 days BEFORE your missed period, which might just give you enough time to get an emergency abortion, in some states. Kudos to Clear Blue, and shame on the GOP for making this necessary.
@DEDGirl@hannu_ikonen For a lot of people, they have to learn the hard way. If it doesn't effect them or someone in their immediate circle, then it's not real. But as soon as it does, oh the outrage! Why hasn't someone DONE something about this problem they themselves didn't care about the day before!
