Unfortunately in this day and age... the FEC Chairwoman, as an example, has publicly said "fuck off" but she no longer has access to any systems or her office. I'm sure plenty of lower-level staffers are in the same situation.

I guess Musk and his 19 flying monkeys can't be effectuating these shut offs, so a hearty "fuck you" to the federal employees "just following orders" inside these agencies right now.

"Criminally investigate companies that do DEI". These motherfuckers are trying to force us back to the 19th century. Idiots. There aren't enough of them to pull this off if we all stand up right now. I will keep harassing my electeds too.

@ekis @shonin

Yeah. I am most of the time hand-wringing over the current state of human affairs and at the same time in my peripheral vision is the collapse of the global ecosystem.

Are we having fun yet?

@glynmoody

I know it all seems scary and maybe these creeps WILL turn the world upside down but please remember that this convicted fraudster Bannon just got out of jail. Maybe they're evil geniuses, but my money's on evil douchebags.

@RickiTarr @Utah44

That's the funniest part of this poster's screed. He knows something's not quite right here. There appear to be attempts to run the government, not tear it down? Hints of "prices will go up, actually"?

Contemplating these developments his mind touches on a truly terrifying thought: could he have been a complete idiot, a mark, a loser who swallowed every single one of Trump's dumb and obvious lies?

Nah.

It's the Democrats.

Thumb sucking cowards.

@cstross

That's a fun explanation of an expression I've seen on social media but didn't know what folks meant by it. And indeed, I have encountered this type of character and blocked them. Thanks!

@skinnylatte

Sounds bad without tasting it.

What a photo. Great quote too. Thanks!

@WarnerCrocker @GottaLaff

In the streets will be problematic, potentially, what with their itchy trigger finger on martial law. But we'll see. The next few years will certainly not be boring but also will definitely be exhausting. #uspol.

@WarnerCrocker @GottaLaff

I think we all need to contact our Senators on all these appalling picks. Patel is definitely on the no go list. We should not "obey in advance" and assume our democracy can't hold. Maybe we'll end up disappointed, but then we move on to the next fight. It's just so vital that we keep pushing and don't give up. #uspol

@Lana

I've had people say "it wasn't that bad" to which I always answer "sure 700,000 unnecessary deaths wasn't that bad." This Trump 2.0 has really spun me out. Got in an amazing beef with a Trumper in a professional setting. Me goading him, him threatening me. Everyone else at the table supportive of me but heads down. You know what? The time for politeness is over. Take these fascists on every day. Any time you can. No matter what. No matter where. People are with us. Lead the way. #uspol

@molly0xfff

yeah, you're right. But can we mock them later?

@inthehands @gilduran

Preposterous speculation, but what's good for the goose is good for the gander and I'm sick of us being subjected to devisive lies from Trump and the boy-o-sphere. (Can't call 'em men, am I right?)

I, for one, promise to amplify any and all rumored conflicts in the Trump camp and /or #boyosphere.

Are you with me?

Voter suppression already has worked. In 2024. I'm pretty sure those long-ass lines in early voting in swing states convinced voters that either (a) they shouldn't try to vote because they don't have the time or strength to endure the lines and/or (b) the long lines convinced them that the Democrats were going to win easily and so they didn't need to hassle with voting. And here we are.

I miss the days when American movie stars only did advertising in Japanese markets because it was considered crass here to sell your image or endorsement.

I think my favorite thing about #mastodon is the #FederatedTimeline where I can watch this whole, beautiful, gigantic world of people expressing their individual lives in many languages and scripts, in real time. It's magic.

I tend to limit reporting to gross violations like not using cw's for violence or sexual content. Inauthentic accounts- I'm not an expert, you know? And the moderation here is DIY so I limit reporting for that reason too. But that's just my personal preference. Report away!
