Close. You can’t be tried at the federal level. You can be tried at the state level (specifically New York) but even if you are convicted, judges will essentially commute your sentence.

.world admins subscribe to a “both sides are the same” approach and it’s simply not compatible with folks who are actively engaged in, let’s say, supporting and defending democracy.

This community is on .world so their rules apply. Your instance is pretty chill.

It’s only the same dynamic if shooters are running into legislative buildings.

But they (the alt right) are assassinating politicians who are at home or alone.

Today is Primary Day in Virginia!

Go out and fucking vote!

I’m a JavaScript developer. But it is fully possible to create a site with no frontend JavaScript

Like many things, you should use JavaScript if you need it. If you don’t need remote data sources or live refreshes, pure html and css work perfectly fine and, I would go so far as to say, may even be necessary for resistance web pages.

This is especially true if you’re using tor. JavaScript can leak your IP address and sites will work more reliability if you have static content that’s refreshed on the back end than using a bloated next.js app taking up RAM.

Ironic.

I highly encourage you to go. They are counting on people being afraid.

Everyone who attends these protests risk something. For some it’s their jobs. Others it could be their lives.

They are out there for you, for me, and countless others.

Joining them shows solidarity. But it also helps you feel less alone.

Practice good OpSec. If you don’t go, then find other ways to resist.

Unless the ones that aren’t willing to stand up to those who are, then they are just as culpable.

trying not to poop

Why…were you trying not to poop? Or was this a meme I missed? I remember the beans.

Yeah, Lemmy had absolutely been great over the last year. 6-hour Top sorting is absolutely key here.

Is it a one-for-one replacement? No. There are a lot of communities that haven’t been able to come over effectively. But the main core communities have and it’s been fantastic.

I was just about to say. Sounds like we have nothing to lose.

Fascism is a means to an end. The end result of fascism is cronyism, where power is delegated based on fealty.

Each level of fascism is a concentric circle, with a new out group named at every iteration.

Right now, it’s LGBT, specifically trans people in addition to immigrants. Once all of the outgroup is gone, a new one is named.

Because the rules for conservative and liberals are very different.

Democrats, by in large, respect the rule of law and their base will reject candidates that don’t. Conservatives simply want to be the ones giving orders and not necessarily following them. So the Venn diagram of mutual interests only intersects when a democrat does something that both sides disagree with.

Republicans cry foul whenever a Democrat exceeds the debt ceiling but you don’t hear a fucking peep from them when Trump causes the national debt to lower our credit rating.

We need to purge ourselves from conservatives. And the window to do so is closing quickly.

Because he is good at popping pop corn right? Because it was a meritorious hire. Right?

Right?

Exactly!

There’s only one party that cares about hypocrisy. And it’s not the fucking Republicans.

I could see a “NetZero” approach to electric charging where you choose to watch ads for free or discounted electricity. Which will then turn into you having to watch ads to enable the charger.

TIL that Cas Anvar got fired. Damn…

Of the principle characters, I felt like he was one of the stronger actors, with Amos (Wes Chatham) being the strongest.

I recently did a rewatch of The Expanse and as much as I enjoy it generally, I felt like the last season was meh.

The grit was gone and felt like the show rushed near the end.

Maybe it’s just me though.

Her average constituent sees turban and thinks Muslim.

She represents her district in more ways than one.
