And in case you haven’t been paying attention, the Trump fascists want to undo all that with Project 2025.
I block fascists & other stupid assholes

Sony can do whatever the fuck they want. I have them blocked on Steam for a reason.
I can’t wait till they recycle Microsoft Bob.
Prediction: This will get thrown out almost immediately.
Jokes on them, over the last year or so I’ve installed Nobara, Mint & Xubuntu on every PC in my house.
So done with Windows.
I’ve boycotted Ubisoft for so long I’ve forgotten why I started the boycott originally.
Haven’t missed a damn thing.
If you’re not traveling, $7 at my local Publix’s butcher can buy you some decent sushi or a fish & vegetable entree w/ either salmon or talapia that cooks in 17-18 minutes.
Just disable?
I’ve heard for years now that they have those chip fabs rigged to explode, as to not let them fall into China’s hands.
Unless Antec has started a coding division, I can’t see it ever having the integration the SteamDeck does.
I support this Pipe Dream.
Unfortunately, this isn’t a Congress that will vote to limit its own power.
“Why is the political party that actively wants to destroy our institutions ok with destroying our institutions?”
That’s your question, reframed.
If you want a real answer, it’s because Roe v. Wade “was” settled law & the Democrats are a “big tent” party with a lot of disparate views that always don’t mesh together. They should be 3 parties working as a collation, but our stupid FPtP election system won’t allow that.
Following that, note which party has made RCV illegal in 5 states.
This falsehood has been a right-wing talking point all the way back since 2013.
When Obama had “Total Control” of Congress
Lies are easy to get away with if they are repeated often enough and given voice by many different people. Repeat a lie often enough and that lie often becomes conventional wisdom. Repeating a lie doesn’t change the lie into the truth, it changes the people hearing the repeated lie. They begin to accept the lie as truth. One huge example: ‘Iraq has WMD.’
…
The truth…then…is this: Democrats had “total control” of the House of Representatives from 2009-2011, 2 full years. Democrats, and therefore, Obama, had “total control” of the Senate from September 24, 2009 until February 4, 2010. A grand total of 4 months.
Did President Obama have “total control” of Congress? Yes, for 4 entire months. And it was during that very small time window that Obamacare was passed in the Senate with 60 all-Democratic votes.
Did President Obama have "total control’ of Congress during his first two years as president? Absolutely not and any assertions to the contrary…as you can plainly see in the above chronology…is a lie.
EDIT:
This is the archive of the original chronology link.

Well done.
<slow clap>
This is legit one of the best games I’ve ever played.
@unormal is a great guy to boot.
No it didn’t.
A few years ago my wife left her caseless Samsung S7 Active on the top of her car & took off with it still up there. Fell off the roof while she was doing highway speeds. She actually managed to back track to find her phone just in time to watch a box truck run straight over it.
It still worked fine. Gained a single scratch.
Leave it to corporate America to figure out how to make a simple thing difficult in order to sell (rent) you less for more.
The singular reason #Muskrat isn’t living under a bridge & eating bath salts is that he was born rich.
I know what would actually make the world a better place, but I can’t say it here.
