Yup. I try to point out to the magaheads in my community that their support for things like state voter rolls > FedGov = they're gonna be cool with that with a Dem admin, right?
They fail to see how any of these terrible FedGov things sound in their own head when Ds come back around. Crazy.

This is like accusing someone of robbing a bank because they deposited money and never withdrew it
Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

This is good.
It took nearly 8 months.
Will this protect us in the current election?
WE are the front line defense. When the election is spoiled, it will be too late. Document everything. Petition your LocalGov to commit to protecting polls and elections, even/especially from FedGov.

I think my only real question is: why is LM using UPS? In my previous life I shipped a lot of (much less consequential) equipment to Canadian fedgov facilities on a regular basis, and avoided them like the plague. Even w/o Chinese interference, it was a 0/10 experience 😩

You ain't wrong. Between the death of Chevron, gross destruction of govt capacity in the fedgov, and a hypocritical abandonment of federalism for federal preemption, anything that came out of this Congress would be weaker than the state privacy laws we did manage to get in place and iterate on.

The ONE TIME in my 20+ yeas of FEDGOV service where I was *actually* paid to do nothing was under DOGE. Apparently, like the Pedo Deep State, the "Lazy government bureaucrats paid to sit at home" thing was a campaign promise.

Yeah, same. It's unconscionable. WS, Christofascist eugenicists running the fedgov and more than half of state govs, are ensuring white men's rights, and everyone else is losing ground.
Workers, too, thanks to corporate exploitation, so the second Gilded Age is actually worse than the first.

I’ll NEVER understand their preoccupation with a relatively small number of humans who just want & deserve what all humans in the US want & deserve. The need to subjugate and “other” entire groups of people is beyond understanding, and it gains them nothing. Our country gets viler everyday.

Not infuriated with you, but them. I'm a Veteran and retired FedGov. Watching my life's work go up in flames with the Constitution, burned down by the stupidest people this nation ever created. Hard to be calm.

My state's constitution gives me more rights as a trans and disabled person than our Federal Government does, it protects my right not to die from a pregnancy I can't safely carry, meanwhile, the FedGov is actively trying to kill me. The country holding together might also be worse.

War is not ideal, I do not want hot war in the US, but this current state of affairs feels also inclined to go so very badly that, since I can't do anything about it, I can whinge about how nice it'd hypothetically be if the US FedGov would simply fuck off and leave us alone sans war.
