oppo dump

Is red dawn still a film shown to the youth as something one should live by.

Morality once meant something. & not about lowest price one could go for.

I mean the shite that goes on in the US does have a lot of repercussion worldwide so i would watch what is sanctioned, innit.

don't you have a brexit thread to post in? why do you keep inflicting your idle musings on us?

I’m really warming up to Stevolende’s posting style. We should all start from the least cynical position we can stand and then, socratically, end up staring doom in the face.

also devote a line break to each of our thoughts
i guess i could talk about how much i hate republicans here
and then express some of my apparently infinite despair here

I wasn’t being sarcastic!

1992 was a good year for women elected to the Senate (partly because of Anita Hill I think) - Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Patty Murray, Carol Moseley-Braun. We need to elect a lot more. The Senate should be at least 50% women

I wasn’t being sarcastic!

neither was i
ok maybe a little

sorry stevo that started feeling a little mean, i have no problem with your posting style

i could do without the functionally inert rhetorical form of a question expressing an uncontested sentiment of your audience though

Out camping this weekend and not really accessing news anymore but I hope y'all are doing ok

do you want us to catch you up on all the important tweets you missed

wish I were out camping

The Senate should be at least 50% women

agree with the sentiment here but also the senate should be abolished

yes

Ilx should be 50% women

But OH WELL

^^^

but also ilx shd be abolished

lol

Murkowski has emerged from this with some credibility

Ilx should be 50% women

― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie),

I disagree. Not bc i dislike my bros at all but it would be better to have more women and more people in general

mods please only allow new regs from women

woke

Murkowski has emerged from this with some credibility

kind of, sort of. They had one vote to give, so she got it, one less Republican senator and she would be a yes.

yeah you're probably right

it's all pretty cynical isn't it

we need at least 50% women progressives / democrats in the Senate

and in ilx

1911, sadly

obviously r/n abolishing the senate would just expose us to the gerrymandered house but otherwise i might make "abolish the senate" my "where's the tax returns?"

though tbh if it weren't egregiously spammy i would just get on ilx every morning and post this:

Abolish any reference to religion within government communications or in federal/state buildings.

Remove all of the perks and prestige and force elected officials to wear maybe like a burlap sack or a diaper and also a set of those dumb redneck teeth.

though tbh if it weren't egregiously spammy i would just get on ilx every morning and post this:

good mourning

wheres those taxessss

I can’t stop watching this. pic.twitter.com/7GVvCLKR6M
