The American revolution ended in 1783, and tens of thousands of soldiers had died to end monarchy rule in the land of the free.
I wonder if back then, anyone had imagined, that one day, the US supreme court would be abused to turn the presidency into a new monarchy, where the president has immunity — like the kings of the dark ages.
Members of the US House will now move to impeach supreme court justices. It sounds absurd, but this is where we are: A total war has begun in the US legal system.

THE question we must ask EVERY political candidate is whether they would support a constitutional amendment to curb presidential dictatorship and make them subject to the laws we all live by. No one is above the law.

Boosting the shit out of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enabling_Act_of_1933 - Because y'know, THIS IS JUST WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED TODAY.
Ye gods, I hope if #aliens are passing by, they just nuke the fucking planet and put us all out of our misery.
Portland, OR!
There’s a call to head to City Hall with camping gear tonight to protest the camping ban. I hear there may even be a drag show at 9pm!

So how do we actually build resilient communities? Asking for a few generations of trans people who are about to lose everything. #uspol #TransRights
An argument I’ve been trying to make in my writing about “Project 2025”:
A second Trump term would be worse not only because the radical Right would be better prepared, but also because they would be operating under much more favorable circumstances.
With a much more extreme Supreme Court, for instance. 1/

My birthday is coming up. You know...if you...wanna...yeah....
The Presidency was always meant to be an equal power alongside Congress and the Supreme Court. And most of all, the President was never meant to be above the law. The changing of the presidency towards kingship, begun in the Nixon administration, is now here.

"Jenn's Favorite Song"
Granted, this comic shouldn't have taken four years to make. But the last decade has kind of been hell....
@socketwench - " Sha-Ka-Ree... the source... Heaven... Eden... call it what you will. The Klingons call it 'Qui-Tu.' And the Romulans...well it's 'Vorta Vor.' The Andorian word is... is nigh on unpronouncable. But I tell ya what, every good man in this town what has a dream, well...he has a hankering for a place from which we all got made. Well, that place is just over yonder."
This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Meatballs Niezgocki
I has this at a Christmas LGBT Potluck last year, and it was FANTASTIC to the point I had to seek out who made it and grab the recipe. Turns out, it's SUPER simple with one exception: You need a crock pot.
I don't have one, and seeing as this was the first time I needed one, I don't really need to get one. But I did need to find a substitute. After finding a site that told you how to "convert" crock pot instructions to dutch oven instructions, I ended up burning the heck out of them last week.
This week, though, I just followed the crock pot instructions instead of the conversion, and they came out GREAT. They're a bit of a carb-bomb, though, so be careful. :)
