Skuldug , to Politics in Notable U.S. State laws taking effect from July 1

What is going on in Indiana with that they had to make ninja stars illegal in the first place? Either way it's good to see that injustice righted while still thinking of the children.

A lot of laws about weapons aren't really about anything actually happening or dangers. Often it's about perceptions people have or actually about trying to target a group politicians don't like.

That's how bailsongs and switch blades got restricted in a lot of states. Also why suppressors or short barreled firearms are regulated like hand grenades.

American gun control was born immediately after slaves were freed

DeSantis is telling everyone that he's going to destroy the United States, and you're all just sitting there.

I’m not gonna vote for him. He’s not even a candidate yet. What should I be doing?

Training and prepping. Historically, there's only been one way to stop fascist conservatism, and it's not something we are allowed to talk openly about until we're doing it.

Did the 6th of January insurrectionists do the right thing, given they believed they were fighting against an authoritarian government? Or should they have accepted the result of the democratic process even though they disagreed with it?

So when Hitler got voted in, the moral choice was to respect the democratic process and the completely legal murder of 12 million people. Got it

I love comments like this for the blatant lack of self-awareness that you're doing exactly what everyone else is.

While somehow finding a way to feel like you're better than.

JasSmith , to Politics in Poll: 61% of voters disapprove of Supreme Court decision overturning Roe

It's wild how many Americans seem to think the Supreme Justices are legislators.

True. Roe should've never happened, it needs to be decided by the states.

Do you feel the same way about slavery?

DarkGamer , to RedditMigration in Reddit CEO praises Elon Musk’s cost-cutting as protests rock platform
@DarkGamer@kbin.social avatar

Inspiring? Elon Musk's cost cutting strategy was he just decided not to pay people, not to pay his landlord, not to pay his janitors, not to pay his hosting companies, not to pay many Twitter employees, and not to bother following laws, because, presumably, "fuck you, I'm a billionaire." If that's inspiring to spez, I'm feeling really good about leaving his platform. Aaron Swartz must be spinning in his grave so fast we could generate power from it.

If only this was an option since forever.

Power hungry mods who want their own fiefdom to rule over are nasty.
