Correct. Voting federally isn't going to fix the situation. The last chance for that was November 2024 and it even turns out that was a lie.

If you want voting to matter, local and state elections are the only ones that can affect change, because for now the states still have their national guard. If enough state governments flip to blue, then there's at least a chance things can be salvaged.

While this is likely a fake image, this will happen with any old/new car collision because new cars are designed to crush like that.

Crumple zones keep you alive.

Have you ever watched Ink Master? Or check out Ariel de Jesus on tiktok. People can fuck shit up pretty bad.

They could have also used AI to generate a reference for the tattoo. My SO did that plenty when they had artists block, although they fixed any issues when redrawing it in their style.

It's helpful to point out to people that following established rules doesn't work when the people in power disregard them with impunity.

There's not going to be a legal or political uno reverse card that will stop what's happening. The only established mechanism that still exists to get us out of this is if the military does its duty and protects us from the domestic threat to the constitution.

But, with Trump replacing the joint chiefs and top JAG members, I'm not betting on that happening.

People need to stop living in the fantasy of, "we just have to wait it out for 2-4 years."

Who enforces those subpoenas? Who enforces the contempt charges? Trump is in charge of all of the enforcement mechanisms.
