If you’re in Washington as in this article, and need a lawyer after being arrested at a protest, the phone number is 206-OK-TRY-ME

The point isn’t that you’re a leftist; it’s that we’re both leftists and we disagree on effective political strategies, and engaging in debate with you is pointless. I sincerely wish you well.

Good luck with that. Courts move slow, by design, to help those in power against those without power.

I don’t think any amount of discussion with you on this subject is going to change either of our minds on the federal government. I’m just gonna assume you’re a leftist and have your own approach to getting shit done that I’m not engaged with and wish you a good day.

You might not be saying that if/when someone who represents your interests gets into power. Remember, we got the ADA, Civil Rights, and more through widespread protest action. Things will continue to happen.

I feel this in my soul

Bingo. The media is entirely captured, obviously, and people don’t understand what’s really going on as a result.

Federalism for the win I guess

I usually set up an alias or script to update everything on my system. For example, on Ubuntu, I would do this: alias sysup='snap refresh && apt update && apt upgrade'

And on Arch, I do this: alias sysup ='flatpak update && paru'

Funny enough you’d need to use sudo to run this on Ubuntu, but not in the Arch example because paru being neat

Honestly I don’t even know if we’ll have the same political parties in the next few years

Because American propaganda is extremely effective, and most people think they’re powerless to affect change.

It sure would look bad if they tried to push back against it.

No bitch, dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin bout.

“But both parties are the same”, they say. “There’s no point to voting or supporting Democrats because they will never try to change the status quo.”

The key is to organize at the local level. Get into politics and either change your state’s party from within, or failing that, challenge them from another party like the DSA, which has made strides across the US.

This is gonna be good

Compliment it and remember that the guy is an asshole lmao

Yeah it’s pretty much unclear

Likely because Telegram pointing out that xAI is paying them instead of the other way around is hugely embarrassing.

This is old news already; xAI backed out of the deal this morning.

Either way, this “integration” is just Grok being available on Telegram for Premium subscribers only. It’s just like any other bot on the app.

That’s the way
