Iowa passed a law changing their state's interpretation of the Civil Rights Act to be one that excludes Gender Identity, they claimed they were doing it in order to protect women. This marks the first time that a group was removed from a protected status.

Chaos and Anarchy will break out in the US soon, the bad kind though.

What's really got me sweating is the fact that we're living in sorta good times. A lot of people are struggling of course, and serious issues are unfolding, but imagine what the world could look like if we get hit by the next Great Recession or Great Depression. Things could quickly go from very bad to much, much worse.

the extent that Trump has gone to remove barriers to committing atrocities likely corresponds to the extent he intends to commit them

This will end with blood in the streets.

The process of global de-dollarisation,much talked about, is being hastened far sooner than I think most people (at least those not privvy to whatever intelligence existed on Trump and others' motivations and intentions) expected.

The question as to whether the country with the largest military in the world can accept a much-reduced international role (and much reduced share of unearned global wealth to go with it), without kicking off a kinetic world war three will likely be answered shortly.

Trump and Musk appear wide open to exploitation/manipulation, without anywhere near the required experience or intelligence to maintain the US's international position.

Unstable times ahead.

And American still just going to whine on the internet and do nothing about it.

If anything this has completely vaporized the "checks and balances" democratic system everyone was so obsessed about.

Americans need to update the constitution where people have the power to dethrone a dictator as of right now theres nothing right?

I'm just hoping it can stay duct taped together long enough for me to get out of country. I don't know if it will :/ I've been doing the protest thing, donating to resistance efforts, boycotts, building community, been doing all of this for years. I've never seen it tangibly help and I'm one of the first to get black bagged if/when this goes full genocide (am trans). I can't do it anymore, my body is aging, my brain is a disaster. I wish I could keep fighting. At least I can bring my labor somewhere else and stop letting my taxes fund the madness that is the US government

No no no no...we just need to run out the clock - it must be almost time for another election. Let me just check the calenda-... ...SIX WEEKS? It's been six weeks?!

The american people will have to stand up for themselves and it‘s gonna be hard and brutal. Cause no one else can help you with this.

I found the recent developments in Serbia quite interesting and it might help to get an idea what a widespread resistance from the people could look like. Video on Serbia

If you want to know what Trump will do, look at the men he most admires (Putin, Kim Jong Un, etc)

Dont brace yourself. Unleash your frustration and direct it at anything that proudly displays the star spangled banner.

i guess i didn't really need free information about the weather or how fucked is the climate. i know it's fucked and seasons change. fuck science after all.

Not if we actually stand up and all march to DC. Just sayin'. Nothing has ever been won by shit posting and staying home.

The only thing at this point that could prevent the USA from annexing Canada is a civil war to deal with. So yeah, it's gonna get worse before it gets better.
