It’s gotta do wonders for your ego to return your country to democracy and freedom. Peter will likely be remembered as one of the historically important leaders of Hungary (not like that’s a short list but still)

So free reign for censorship so long as someone alleges harm?

Theyre definitely been increasing in price lately

Ooh, Matter really keeps impressing me

Yeah but the trees that made it into hydrocarbons were fuled by our sun.

Alternatively you can depict it as filthy and Victorian. Something that was once an improvement, but these days really only belongs in a museum. You can compare it to child labor and accurately point out that the Victorian era was grimy and disgusting because of how much coal was burned then.

They’re claiming Michelle is a trans woman actually. I don’t care enough about their delusions to figure out how they think the kids happened

She’s a powerful black woman whom they dislike and so a lot of them have convinced themselves she’s trans to make her even worse in their eyes and to try to convince others she (and her husband) are bad.

The sheer right wing derangement over the Obamas is fucking nuts

I think in Idaho the answer is “Washington or Oregon, we’ve taken the liberty of getting rid of your house”

Eh it fits in everyone else’s pants too. Gotta make sure everyone is using their government approved genitals for only government (a subsidiary of religion corp) sanctioned activities

Guarantee it won’t be sufficient if they think you look trans. Especially not if you’re a trans person with a sex chromosomal abnormality

I’ll also add, local government is a part time job unless you’re mayor of a large city. These are ordinary people who can be forced to be subjected to the judgement and distaste of their neighbors.

You can put up signs about their bad behavior in office. You can refuse them service in your store. You can’t do shit to the president or your representative in congress, but by fuck can you make a city councilor rue the day they ran for office

Yeah plenty of people like cunts, nobody likes Ted Cruz

Well he ran for human president

Nah he’s the senator who could be murdered at work and the senate wouldn’t convict the killer

That’s horrible and I wish I found it surprising

Can’t wait for the first law containing emojis…

Plenty of them are. (Only speaking on America because I don’t know much about elsewhere). The national lawyers guild is awesome. The ACLU has its controversies and decisions I may not love, but by fuck do they fight for our civil rights. Environmental lawyers accept shit pay and long hours to fight for a habitable world. Public defenders accept bad pay and long hours standing up for the accused (yeah lot of issues there too, but the job is necessary). There are lawyers fighting for civil rights all over, especially now as the government engages in tyranny. And yeah social security and disability lawyers fighting to get people what they’re owed.

Lawyers can be expensive, slimy, and weaponized, but they’re also a vital tool in pressuring governments, and yeah that goes both ways too. Fascists want you to be disillusioned by them because lawyers are part of how we preserve the rule of law instead of rule by law.

Part of the problem these days is people have slowly stopped mentoring young professionals like that. Yes it takes time, but it’s either paying it forward or leaving the world better than you found it. As a professional I have obligations to society, and I believe those include the integrity to review everything I professionally endorse to a reasonable degree, and to help guide and instruct younger members of my career when given opportunities. It’s important to say “hey, here’s what you did wrong, here’s why it’s wrong, here’s how you should do it.”
