They are doing a lot of these things, the media is just barely covering it. Here’s that coverage brought up higher. Could they and should they do more, absolutely and do put directed pressure them to do more, but let’s not pretend they are doing nothing. That just creates defeatism instead of the energy we need to keep the pressure up

Handful of the lawsuits that you probably didn’t hear about:

Democratic AGs win preliminary injunction against DOGE access to Treasury payment systems

Gov. Josh Shapiro Says Over $2 Billion of Federal Funding Is Unfrozen for Pennsylvania (following PA’s lawsuit)

20 Dem AGs sue over Trump efforts to fire probationary employees

Democratic AGs sue over cancellation of teacher grants

More than a dozen state attorneys general file lawsuit challenging Musk and DOGE’s authority

Democratic attorneys general sue to block Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship

Democratic National Committee Files Lawsuit Against Trump

And so many more. There are an insane number of lawsuits going on right now

In delay tactics, they could do more, but they have now starting using them. It’s more than zero that’s for sure. Keep the pressure up here for them to do more. Call your reps to deny unanimous consent more often - it’s starting to get through a bit. Here’s a few examples

Senate Democrats Hold Floor In All-Night Protest of Trump’s OMB Nominee (they held it for the maximum 30 hours)

Scoop: Senate Dems delay Tulsi Gabbard nomination (were able to do so because of some procedural stuff with how she filed her clearance)

Senate Democrats delay Kash Patel committee vote

In terms of protests, they are also speaking and rallying at them with again limited coverage. Here’s a few

Democrats Protest Outside USAID Headquarters as Trump Seeks to Dismantle Agency

Democrats and protesters rally outside treasury department to protest Elon Musk’s access to sensitive information – as it happened

Dems protesting outside the department of education, trying to get in and denied entry

Dems protesting outside of the EPA

And so on

Sure, not knowing it’s the US constitution is reasonable if not from the US

However, I think one could take a reasonable guess that if the first word of a constitution wasn’t a pronoun, this post probably wasn’t about that specific constitution

The US constitution. Thought it said US in the post itself, but I suppose it technically didn’t clarify

In any case, they more than 99% likely mean the US constitution given how US-centric social media is, and how the US constitution’s start of “we the people” is fairly well known in the US

There are no headers before this. The “we the people” is actually quite large too

If the majority of those given that specifc question say so, then yes

If the majority given it say no, then no

There’s no predefined answer here

One of creators of the captchas said in an interview that they themselves were never sure about the edges and if they should include it or not

It’s based on whatever the majority of humans using captcha say. They ask multiple question on the captcha. Some are testing you on. Some they don’t know and give to multiple people to figure out which boxes should be selected

Related note: There are some good vegan eggs out there to give a try!

If you want something that cooks and bakes like eggs there’s stuff you can by like Just Egg

For baking there’s a million things you can use that are pretty cheap. For instance, Aquafaba is the leftover water from cooking chickpeas or the water in the can if you buy it canned. Acts like egg whites and can be used as a binder for baking

The good news is that some progress has been made in the US. The semi-recent (2022) FDA modernization act 2.0 removes mandates for animal testing in law and allows other testing methods to be used instead

There’s another bill (FDA modernization act 3.0) that was just reintroduced a few days ago to not just allow the FDA to use non-animal testing, but to require that the FDA start actually working to allow it and setup pathways, rules, requirements, etc. And prioritize the review of drugs done via approved non-animal testing

It includes various reporting, safety, etc. requirements laid out so it wouldn’t just be handing it blindly to the current admin

The 2.0 act was suprisingly bipartisan, so it’s not a given that the 3.0 act would be doomed. Call your house representative and senators to make sure it gets through!

But but it worked on my machine

In 2004, the FDA estimated that 92 percent of drugs that pass preclinical tests, including “pivotal” animal tests, fail to proceed to the market.More recent analysis suggests that, despite efforts to improve the predictability of animal testing, the failure rate has actually increased and is now closer to 96 percent

Elections are not run federally, they are run by each state which makes it harder for Republicans to be as aggressive as they’d like to be

Mind you they lost a US house seat this cycle even with Trump winning. They have just a 3 seat majority. They would need a gain of +70 seats in the house in a midterm environment to get to 2/3

On the senate side, Republicans would need to pick up 12(!) seats to get 2/3. In the 2026 map, that’s extraordinarily difficult and would require winning extremely deep blue seats. 66 senators is a lot. They would have to win literally every single senate seat up for election in 2026

Assuming they win all the solid red + lean red seats, they would need to defend both senators in North Carolina and Maine to keep 53. Then they’d have to flip the tossups of Michigan and Georgia to get to 55. Then the lean blue Minnesota senate seat to get to 56.

Then the very likely blue seats of New Mexico, Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire to get to 60. Then to get to 66, they would need to win the safe blue states of Oregon, Illinois, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, and Rhode Island to get 66

Midterms are usually very unfavorable to the party in power. Even with more stringent voter laws, that would be a tall ask. Flipping safe blue senate senates where dems have state and local control would be insane

And you’d have to flip a large number of state legislature in deep blue states too

Would be difficult for him to do so via any legal means. Each individual States run elections. They are not federally run, even for federal offices per the US constitution

Election days are similarly set by the US constitution

The bar to change that is quite high with 2/3 of congress + 3/4 of state legislatures to ratify. And while Supreme Court is insane, they did recently ruled 6-3 against the insane independent state legislature theory (which would have meant even state courts could not rule on anything election related) which is related to the exact piece of the constitution

Plus 3/4 of state legislatures to ratify which would be another high bar

There’s a reason why there’s so few constitutional amendments

Most people actually voted in favor of the florida abortion ammendment. The threshold is just unusually higher (60%) than most states. It was close to 60% but just a little shy at around 57%

With a different national environment with just a bit higher dem turnout, it probably would’ve passed

Important: If you’re on the suspese list rather than being fully removed (unsure if that’s the case here), you might still be able to vote but will need to show proof of residence. Contact your registrar to check that and ask them about it

If voters find out they’re still on the suspended list after having shown up at their polling places on Election Day, they can still vote after they complete a “statement of residence” form.

Voters with suspended status who may have moved to other counties will be required to vote in the counties where they previously resided or may be asked to submit provisional ballots.

As a note to all: Check your voter registration status today as deadlines are very fast approaching (or even already past in some states)

Fox news would never be so concerned about such “details” like “hey that’s obviously not a fox, what are you on about” /s

(I uploaded the wrong photo)

Fox news yet again lying through omission and blatantly forgetting the important news of foxes eating watermelons

The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, billionaire Elon Musk’s platform said on Saturday.

Wait so what do they mean by stopping operations in Brazil then? Just the offices and staff? The article isn’t super clear on it
