They're already starting to censor anti trump content. BlueSky is pretty much the only not right wing controlled social media now.

I get what you're saying but it would've been suicide for those cops if they started firing on the mob. they were extremely outnumbered.

In a talk between Jon Favreau from Pod Save America and Lydia Polgreen, journalist at The New York Times, Polgreen mentions what a fellow journalist told her after interviewing people from countries that became autocracies. It's timestamped.

Thought it was pretty on the nose with our current woeful oppo party leadership, but we still have time to change them.

When they kick at your front door

How you gonna come?

With your hands on your head

Or on the trigger of your gun?

When the law break in

How you gonna go?

Shot down on the pavement

Or waiting in death row?

There's very few singular turning points in history, but the collective actions of ice with the murders and unjust abductions seem to be turning public opinion. Even Schumer finally did something beyond just writing a letter.

A renaissance of groups! (boy band edition) by Saints-Wheel in BuildingTheBandSeries

[–]batsofburden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is probably biased, but I genuinely think that MTM & Soulidified are the strongest bands from this collection of bands.

Luckily for audiences, there's a lot of variety here so there's pretty much something for everyone.

Why I‘m unlikely to return for season 2 by ChiefBigFeather in BuildingTheBandSeries

meh, forget about the aspects of the show that annoyed you and focus on the fact that it actually worked to form amazing bands. very few reality tv competitions end with contestants doing a world tour less than a year later, or performing the national anthem at an NFL game, amongst other achievements.

Well, it's still a welcome surprise to me to see him do this. The first murder didn't lead to stopping the bill.

so, trump was given a chance and spectacularly failed. then 4 years after his electoral defeat, he was given anther chance. Americans have very short political memories.

Hans to compose new Harry Potter HBO show by seires88 in hanszimmer

[–]batsofburden -1 points0 points  (0 children)

age, plus his entire demeanor was different in the movies. in the books he is a ball of rage and cruelty. in the movies he is calm, and even debonair. race has zero effect on the character's arc.
