Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A whole lot of somebodies need to send that message to the Trump administration

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes that was the whole point of the November election. Not enough people sent their message but 77,000,000 Republicans did.

You got a fuckin time machine, pal?

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No. 77,000,000 Republicans wouldn't even be able to figure out the instruction manual anyway.

Look, there's no use crying over spilled milk. We can either sit in the dirt and pout that the democrats lost the election while people catch life in prison without even being charged with anything, or we can keep moving forward. Which do you want to do?

All that would do is take you back. The garbage will still be there.

Go back to the 1970s first and stick 2 years worth of 1970s McDonald's into a stasis "refrigerator" / stasis box. Take those back to 1911 and give Taft his first taste of addictive food. Continue to give Taft McDonald's as much as he wants, until he dies. Roosevelt now wins the 1912 presidential election, and we have a much better timeline. Not because of the inclusion of Roosevelt, but because of the exclusion of Wilson who really got the ball rolling on this shit.

It's time for ICE to leave NY. Hochul and the other governors need to pull the trigger and outright ban the agency from operating in the state. The fed is already pulling funding across the board for state programs and dismantling the agencies that keep states running when a crisis hits. All of the carrots are gone and Trump is waving his sticks around for no fucking reason anyway. Innocents are being taken off the street and students are being harassed and expelled.

Yes, there's probably nothing to legally give her that power, but there's nothing legal about any of this.

Hochul is too busy trying to ban masks to do anything

Serious question, are these emails going straight to peoples personal inboxes, or through a secure government mailbox? How would you know the email is not spam or phishing if it goes straight to your personal email.

Also, how easy would it be to mass email all politicians and government staff these same emails and see the shit hit the fan?

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Hypothetically, could someone pull a list of ICE employees and send repeated emails to quit ICE or else...and include home address,phone number, social, etc...since it's all available now anyway.
