Does anyone else feel so un-motivated at work ever since Trump became president? I can't sleep sometimes with the anxiety. I don't even want to try to be anything in this American society anymore if it means a criminal can be President. What's the point? Bad always wins. Good always suffers.

2020 i woke up every morning expecting to see a mushroom cloud over the nearest city. Every. Single. Morning.

Fuck man, how did we get here?

I know how we go here but this timeline seems so quick.

Buy a gun. Train.

Get connected with others. Make sure they get armed. Train with them.

He can declare them criminals with his mind. More efficient than a trial.

This is very much how it's going to happen.

How does this not anger the domestic prison industrial complex?

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 3 points 48 minutes ago

It's not actually that powerful. Private prisons are all at the state level, and only some states.

They are opportunistic, not monopolistic, and the political pushback reversed the trend toward privatisation in most of the country.

Private prisons are a stain on our national character, they need to be shut down. but we have bigger shit to worry about right now.

And of course we will never see these people again. This is so blatently illegal its fucking mind blowing.

47 doesn't GaF. He's already ignoring UNANIMOUS scotus rulings. The law has failed. Nobody in power is willing to enforce anything.

[–] rustbuckett@lemmings.world 14 points 14 hours ago

I guess we already filled up all of the for profit prisons in The Land of the Free.
