It really is the most ancient point of sale methodology I've seen in the last fifteen years or so.

Ah yes, the famous prison yards where I can go participate in the slave auctions and literally purchase people as property. I get your point, but they're really not the same.

The state of the prison system is awful but this comparison really feels like it minimizes the horrors of chattel slavery.

And also to get people accustomed to the idea of participating in mass actions. You don't go from barely having protests to a multi week general strike in one go. You do things like this, first.

I knew I'd get this comment. And you're not wrong, that is the case. But I'm referring to it being fully legal and accepted. Like open-air slave market level.

That path is dangerous, too. It's currently what's allowing states to deny abortions and I bet it would eventually be used to re-legalize slavery.

If it was your parent, definitely. They don't ask about grandparents. I don't know there's a place on the SF-86 for you to insert this info.

Hours after this story published, a White House spokesperson said in a statement that DOGE did not share classified information ― even as NRO’s classified information was still accessible on DOGE’s website.

“DOGE did not share classified information, any assertion to the contrary is a lie,” said the spokesperson. “Yesterday the accusation was DOGE was not transparent and today the accusation is DOGE is too transparent. Stop the fearmongering, DOGE’s mission remains to cut waste, fraud, and abuse and are doing so with the proper security clearances and following the law.”

Lmao peak professionalism guys.

4chan memed about penis inspection day for years, but I never expected they'd get this far.

I have an appointment with a urologist in March and plan on scheduling a vasectomy at the earliest available time. I'm bringing my wife with me so that we can skip any potential "is your spouse okay with this" step.

I mean, I was taught that this was specifically an executive check on judicial power in school 25 something years ago.

But again that sort of implies that it "would only be used for good" by an executive against an out of control supreme court. It didn't really account for a fascist just telling the courts to go fuck themselves just because.

This is just a modern iteration of the book HOLES, and it takes place in a landfill instead of a dry lakebed.
