Missouri Voters: APPROVE PAID SICK LEAVE 58% YEST Missouri Legislatures: Fuck you, you're lazy, you don't own a business. You don't get a say Enjoy your racism tho.
I was talking with my buddy a couple weeks back and we settled on the idea that these people live in a "soup of facts" to regurgitate as needed in social settings but are no longer capable of synthesizing a stance based that soup. They outsourced all that mental bandwidth onto podcasts and rw media, which 'engages with the facts' for them but if its not exactly spoonfed, well, look.
Welcome to the Missouri Legislature. Pretty much all they do is try to reverse referendums. Also he is 100% correct about The Founders. They were elites who didnt want any power amongst the unwashed masses. That's before any religious or racial bigotry that came into play. The "wErE nOt a DeMoCrAcy, bUt A rEpUbLic" is just the dumbest shit ever. Idk when they decided that distinction without a difference sounded smart, but if you think about it for 2 seconds it's dumb af
I usually just point at that we’re both and their brain twists because they didn’t take the 4 seconds to critically think through it.
You're not allowed to get vaccines, we're not giving you healthcare, we're not giving you paid sick leave. You will work till you die and then your kids will fill your shoes if they're alive when they hit working age (8). You should be thanking us for allowing you to make shit wages to barely survive.
This doesn't just happen in deep red Missouri though. DC's Mayor Bowser is - once again - trying to eliminate the tipped workers minimum wage initiate that has been overwhelmingly passed by ballot initiative twice now. https://www.washingtonian.com/2025/05/05/dc-mayor-muriel-bowser-pushes-to-overturn-initiative-82/
I love the part where he says workers who have to decide between taking time off to see their doctors and paying for groceries don’t have any skin in the game.
Are chemical and biological agents spread on the public using water vapor found in contrails caused by airplane engines?
🚨According to litigators, ICE just put a dozen men on a flight (which may have already taken off) to SOUTH SUDAN, a country on the brink of civil war, in direct defiance of a court order requiring ICE to give people an opportunity to raise objections before being sent to a country not their own.— Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social) 2025-05-20T19:54:58.396Z
The every 30 minutes tweet dump must be observed At least it wasn't some anime that explains the Iran-Iraq War
The piece of trash here was a politician within the outgoing, corrupt, and Putin-friendly regime under President Viktor Yanukovych... who previously paid Paul Manafort tens of millions for lobbying and consulting. Shocker, I know.
Project 2025 is like a 900 page document, which I will not be reading. From listening to people who have, one of the main ways of operating was to do illegal stuff and roll the dice with the courts. It's a scumbag exploitation of the legal system
I don't know how this shit works - but I would think the AG from Massachusetts would be the one that would have to order arrests.
I'm honestly surprised we haven't had a shooting yet. Have you seen some of the fatties in ill fitting tactical gear carrying out this shit? I wouldn't blame anyone that just assumed it was some proud boy bullshit snatching up brown people off the streets.
It's crazy that The Declaration of Independence is basically just "You created ICE so it's time to revolt."— Tim Onion (@bencollins.bsky.social) 2025-05-20T20:35:20.307Z
Well, kidnapping someone at gunpoint and sending them to a foreign country is probably against some law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, right? anyway, I didn't say it would work... more that the judge themselves isn't going to throw the cuffs on someone.
For most people yes, but for federal officials acting within the scope of their authorized duties (even if it’s in violation of a federal court order), state prosecution would be barred by the supremacy clause
"what if I don't ever really want to be here" well congrats I have an answer— BUM CHILLUPS AKA SPENCER HALL (@edsbs.bsky.social) 2025-05-20T17:42:54.655Z
ICE agents needs to be treated like Nazis after WW2. Following orders doesn't matter. We need to jail thousands of ppl
I read this as Where Eagles Dare and thought yeah that tracks but u said “educated “ so I’m at a total loss
We always presumed that a Constitutional crisis would involve a fight in the courts. They just refused to acknowledge the courts’ authority.
I like the phrase “information-resistant voters” (read it recently here).— Dell C. "DC" Toedt III (@dctoedt.bsky.social) 2025-05-20T14:41:16.162Z
Q: Who is Trump's favorite president, beside himself? LEAVITT: That's a good question, because it would be probably himself— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-05-20T17:10:48.319Z
Appreciate that a small child anticipates that that vacuous cunt was going to go with a Trump answer.
