Have we done this yet?

i am so angry

@quartata fuck this administration so much

luckily congress will have to authorize it and HOPEFULLY they will be too chickenshit to do so

I haven't reviewed all the details but it seems unlikely they would make substantial changes because it would presumably shift committee power around in ways no one would agree on

@TimStone mick mulvaney's wet dream tho

Yeah, I'm sure some people are salivating at the thought of privatization of various things but everyone likes to keep a card in their hand. More of an issue in the Senate where there's fewer members with nothing to lose

The House will probably show its ass as usual :|

what if we privatize the presidency

@TimStone yeah he met with @ashleyfeinberg and tapes were discussed

:thinking:

@TimStone of course it is

lol does Cohen have the pee tape stashed next to Hoffa's body?

reason is out to lunch

@TimStone LMAO

I'm more weirded out by Roseanne Barr's ex-husband being Cohen's right-hand man.

Like why are all these Trump people so interconnected?

tbh i don't know if tom arnold is left wing or right wing but he is definitely very far out there

Yeaaaah…yeah

I'm so tired

Wait so why did they go to lunch with Pence then?

I missed this, lmao

k so it turns out twitter does not care about The Nazis posting people's phone numbers and home addresses all over this hell site, despite what you might think

yep

listen

if we could just take my following list -- which is as close to perfection as it gets

and transplant them somewhere else

and i guess we should move dril too, reluctantly

For real though, I don't even understand how it happens that when I report stuff and they say they reviewed it and decided it violated the rules the account is still up

when the pickle juice slushie thing happened in the span of like 2 hours tops

It's just so egregious it seems it can only be in bad faith

that ICE spreadsheet?

banned immediately

an actual address?

fine

Stephen Miller's number?

banned

and like so quickly too

they never respond to any real reports that fast

by their logic, given the ice spreadsheet, one would think the daily caller article that's like "one of the Metro DC DSA people that yelled at Nielsen, a heinous crime, works for the DOJ here's her linkedin" would be bannable

but no

that's different

somehow

in ways other than "she doesn't commit crimes against humanity as her job"

In fact I reported a full address like

5 hours ago

and I have yet to receive an update which means it's STILL FUCKING UP

but good news they'll immediately throw a 12 hour at you if you tweet the word "fuck" at a blue check

I've seen this person post the email you get when you report something as "contains private information->me", and they decided that this full posting of their address WAS REVIEWED AND DECIDED TO BE FINE

it finally did get taken down after because ??? but

like

come on

@Ash So are the monsters checking their win column now? I'm with you. So angry, without adequate words.

I wish I could believe in karma. I don't. I do, however, find some solace in the fact that I play a small part in keeping one small corner of the Internet a safe place to be. Just before I joined SE, I left another large Internet community because I was being bullied, and despite tremendous community support, the bullying continued.

At least here I can do something about things like that.

@Unionhawk so just print, fold, and leave in public places?

I think so, but I'm trying to figure out how to fold

I think it works out without cutting and stapling

You might have to cut and staple?

I can't tell

DSA SF's agitprop work is so good

Awesome

@Ash this is so good it has to be hax

mmm the situation around Buzz Aldrin is indeed turning nasty :/

@TimStone Sadly, I suspect that the Alzheimer's theory is the correct one.

Also:

(from the comments on your link)

His legacy is secure.

The VA has made some pretty cool advances too. Dishonorable discharges are being upgraded, some posthumously. Baby steps.

At our local VA, there has been a different LGBT+ display every time I've been there for months.

Oh, I thought the drug smuggling was the big problem. Huh 🤔

@Ash Once it was pointedly blocking the official portrait of Trump :)

Fox & Friends host justifies family separation on the grounds that “these aren’t our kids”

> Like it or not, these aren’t our kids. Show them compassion, but it’s not like he’s [Trump’s] doing this to the people of Idaho or Texas. These are people from another country, and now people are saying they’re more important than our people who are paying taxes.

> it’s not like he’s [Trump’s] doing this to the people of Idaho or Texas

> people of Idaho or Texas

> Texas

GOLLY GEE WHERE IS ALL THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENING

HMMMM MUST BE CALIFORNIA

Turkish elections tomorrow

@Ave chance to get rid of erodragon?

yes

both ince and aksener are really strong candidates

Expelled Wisconsin student sentenced to 3 years for raping 3 women

> A judge on Thursday sentenced a former University of Wisconsin-Madison student to three years in prison for sexually assaulting three female students and choking or stalking two others. Dane County Circuit Judge Stephen Ehlke also sentenced Alec Cook, 22, of Minnesota to eight years of extended supervision once he's released from prison.

Only 3 years is frusrating as heck, but I suppose it's better than "AND HE WALKED AWAY SCOT FREEEE"

Disney buys 21st Century Fox for $71.3 billion

@GodEmperorDune byeeeeeeeee

@Wipqozn could be worse, he could have gotten the same punishment as Brock Turner who only got a 3 month suspended sentence for raping an unconscious woman

@Wipqozn wait, isn't this old news? like i thought Disney already brought 21st Century Fox before Infinity War came out

Mmmm 🧐

Dude is unhinged

Wow :/

Fatality was the other driver, who was seemingly driving on the wrong side of the road

looking at pictures of the beach there is no indicator where the border is at all, it's just a beach

so, you know, extremely normal

(cw: people saying this is ok and makes sense in the replies)

@TimStone lol go to hell

@quartata Let's change this up a bit

> American teenager accidentally crosses the border into Syria and is detained for two weeks.

That headline would be everywhere and they would be called terrorists

@TimStone love to be petty on official govt accounts

tfw 86'd

lmao

@GodEmperorDune She knows what she's doing, it's so gross

@TimStone this admin's behavior is usually extremely gross

True

@TimStone You know what they should’ve done instead?

> Serve her soup in a cracked bowl. When she complains about the scalding soup leaking onto the table, tell her the real problem is the people who report these sorts of leaks.

Served her an empty plate and insisted there was in fact food there?

lol

No, serve her a calzone instead of lasagna or something.

> If she can lie to our faces about easily disproven "alternative facts" then he could do the same.

Peter Daou unironically join dsa

I'm still mad about our police interaction at pride but I don't think they really cut us short

We soapboxed up at pride fest, with a solid speaker lineup ready

Police roll up like "no, absolutely not"

A few comrades discuss it with them, meanwhile we're continuing

Pride committee head shows up, hey you can't do that because, uhh

Park board guy shows up same thing, something about the contract or whatever (he wasn't certain and didn't have the contract with him)

By this point we're through our speaker schedule

We had a solid handful of people who seemed interested in what we had to say, and also like ten officers

We also filled up like, four pages of emails at the table which was cool
