- California made it in the constitution that marriage is between two people, gender or sex is not considered what counts
- And we also made it so Medi-Cal gets a permanent chunk of funding no matter what the budget is doing.

You have one party led by a Nazi, you have a Nazi party.
If you have one party led by a Nazi, and the other party invites and allows "peaceful" talks, you have two Nazi parties.
Trump is a Nazi, acting like you're just doing your job of transition of power means you're handing the keys to the Nazis.
Dems: We will never bow down to fascists!
Also Dems: We love to reach across the aisle, we can build some of the border wall!
Dems: Trump is quoting Hitler and his followers are enjoying it.
Also Dems: Look how many former Trump supporters love us! That means we'll will!
Why do try to get the "ravid racist redneck" vote instead of a united front to stop fascists by giving aid to BIPOC, women, and queers?
The only thing that pissed me off more than Trump winning, was seeing how many good Props failed, and bad ones passed.
I'm glad we made LGBT marriage part of our constitution, but jesus christ the voting base here is NIMBYs, NeoLibs, and Conservatives.
Fucking awesome. Onion has been hitting it hard lately, and this is just the cherry on top. I am hopeful this makes some chuds question their minds.
I would love this.
Biden tells the sad paid for truth, Trump sells paid for lies.
Both won't change that most American wages aren't going up, prices are. Certainly won't with tariff going to 60%.
Biden didn't really do much for the average American. He could demanded higher wages, pushed for healthcare coverage, and investigated price hiking. And arrested Trump. He did some, but for a man who is currently a sitting duck who is above the law, he's choosing the safest/"easiest for the rich" option as a presidential RBG.
Trump won't do much, but will loudly shit out that he did, and his followers will eat it up and ask for more.
Every accusation is a confession.
It's why they courted Republicans, they wanted that same "they'll do anything we say" energy.
In a way, he did. Star Trek helped to break the racial barriers of 1960's America, and inspired a generation of scientists and engineers to invent things that we use commonly today.
There was an entire generation of people who saw what Star Trek brought to the TV screen, and wanted to bring it into reality. Gene saw thousands of fans were inspired to become a better person because of an idea he had one day.
People saw an interracial kiss on screen for the first time. Some were outraged, most didn't see a problem. Some saw a Japanese person working equally with white crewmen while Japanese-Americans still were treated like garbage and had their possessions still stripped from them.
Roddenberry intended the show to have a progressive political agenda reflective of the emerging counter-culture of the youth movement, though he was not fully forthcoming to the networks about this. He wanted Star Trek to show what humanity might develop into, if it would learn from the lessons of the past, most specifically by ending violence. An extreme example is the alien species known as the Vulcans, who had a violent past but learned to control their emotions. Roddenberry also gave Star Trek an anti-war message and depicted the United Federation of Planets as an ideal, optimistic version of the United Nations.[15] His efforts were opposed by the network because of concerns over marketability, e.g., they opposed Roddenberry's insistence that Enterprise have a racially diverse crew.[16]
Gene didn't live to see a post-scarcity, no violence, bigotry free society, but he inspired people to achieve it. Gene died happy with knowing he sparked an entire idea into action, some day in the future.
In the canon of Star Trek, humanity had a series of eugenics wars, wars for resources, and then capped it off with a World War 3 where the Geneva conventions were scrapped with nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons used by every world power.
The mess was still being cleaned up and the effects of hundreds of millions dead is when people went "Why did we ever hate each other? What did some dude in the African Union do to piss off some dude in the European Alliance, that pissed off some dude in China?"
And then when Zefram Cochrane used the Phoenix to test warp flight, everyone truly went "...Holy shit, we're not alone. We can fix this for everyone."
"You had a primary and Biden won so he appointed Harris!"
- Only Phillips had any shot above 0.1%
- Forbidden from running on most ballots
- Primary called before all 50 states had a shot
- Phillips who ran was effectively blacklisted from working with them ever again
- Biden wins
- Phillips got so much flack for "I don't want Trump to win" he is forced to leave office
- Biden still is a fight of "Who can be the oldest white dude in office?"
- Biden fucks up
- Biden gives up
- "Uhhh Harris is it now, the Silent Generation Dems said so"
It's an AR-16 to the foot and every time we try to attempt triage, they load a new magazine saying we're the idiots for trying to stop the bleeding.
