Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 23/06/2025So it kinda feels like we have created a system of government in which the president of the United States is allowed to do basically whatever he wants, unless it is in any way good for most people, in which case he is under no circumstances allowed to do that. 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Boeing should try building a plane that doesn't fall out of the sky, feels like a minor oversight on them tbh 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 13/06/2025In light of cavalry troops being deployed against protestors, I think its high time we bring back the ancient and age old wisdom that HORSES WONT CHARGE A SHIELD WALL. Line up, lads, lock up shields, and don't try to chase em down when they run! 000

Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 06/05/2025The government cannot be trusted to keep our kitchens clean, our closets organized, or our bedrooms tidied! What are they good for, you may ask? I hear that congress cooks a bussin burrito on days they're off duty at the racism convention. And yet they do not share... Release the wolves! 000

Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Bad news everyone, I have become death the destroyer of worlds. Not because I built a nuke or because I'm Shiva, the avatar of death or anything; I just woke up a little grumpy uwu. Anyway 100k dead and I'm not even done refilling the Bonneville sea basin.

Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 06/05/2025I would like to rename the 2025 global wave of Tesla protests and vandalism as "Nikolai's Revenge". That man would have roasted hot dogs over a burning cybertruck while laughing at videos of Elon Musk getting punched in the nuts. 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Now that duolingo has fired all of their translation screeners and rely entirely on AI translation, it seems a good time to point out that kindness is a universal language. Also violence. I don't really know where I'm going with this but consider not using duolingo anymore, there are better options. 000

Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 14/04/2025All Power to All the People. And before anyone says anything, fuck the LDS church too. We got bigger fish to fry atm tho, like all the fascism. 010
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 14/04/2025I vote strategically. Sometimes that has to take the form of arson but that's not really the point. Point is we can def keep relying on electoral politics and mainstream institutions to maintain our democracy and the safety of our communities, right? Brb tho gotta go fill a bottle with stuff. 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Where is the popular front? Where are the institutions that are supposed to protect us? The world as we know it is ending, and the dipshits who lit it on fire are still dancing atop the flames. It brings me no comfort that they will burn with the rest of us. 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 14/04/2025When does America get maked great again? Oh, you stupid mother fuckers voted on a slogan instead of policy? Just voted on cruelty instead of integrity? How did we get to a point where so much of the American population is STILL cheering for an obvious conman who is actively destroying the country! 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 09/04/2025So if @iwriteok.bsky.social is now legally a judge, can he issue warrants? 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Good to know that even when migrants jump through every single hoop that the government puts in front of them, the government can still just go "oops, haha, never mind". And by good I mean I feel like arson. 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Anyone else feeling the box getting uncomfortably small or is it just me? 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 05/04/2025There is much that will be lost. The people in charge seem to be gleefully aware of the fact, and they are either fools or their interests conflict with the interests of the American public in ways that are becoming ever more obvious. To what end will it come? I do not know... 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 05/04/2025What happens when they can no longer afford to keep other polities from interfering in their social rituals and rites? We already see an inability for our government to reign in foreign misinformation campaigns meant expressly to damage our democracy and advance the interests of other nation-states. 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Do they not understand the stakes? Do they not see the writing on the walls? What happens when the government can no longer regulate organizations within it's jurisdiction? When political and military positions are used as leverage rather than in the pursuit of security and prosperity? 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 05/04/2025But they cannot see the danger that is coming at them as fast as it is coming at the rest of us; that Donald Trump and his ilk will do enough damage to our democratic institutions to destabilize and destroy them. They cannot even seem to fathom that happening; the bedrock of their power crumbling. 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 05/04/2025The people with power do not seem afraid of the creep of authority over democracy. They do not seem afraid of the damage done to the economies of the world. They do not even seem afraid of armed goons disappearing people off the street. They see no problem, it seems, unless their power is threatened 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Something strange is happening in the gears of society that I feel isn't being well addressed. It feels as though everyone who has any power to do anything to stop Trump is terrified of him; Business leaders and state politicians are scared, but they are not scared of the same thing everyone else is 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 02/04/2025All I'm saying is no body no murder and we def don't got the body, ya know? 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 02/04/2025DO we know for sure that Jesus died? I bet no one bothered to do any pulse check, maybe he just took a little nap and woke up in a cave. Probably decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze on this whole saving mankind thing and fucked right off to probably the same place King Arthur fucked off to. 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Hey I think I might be needing that file after all... 020
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025It should be the only thing that counts as a legitimate filibuster frankly. No more talking for days; you fuck or you lose. Stop any and all bills through congress with this one fucked up trick! 010
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Maybe they can be encouraged to take a less verifiably false outlook on life and history; perhaps come to the conclusion that their favorite book is in fact a work of fiction and has no real bearing on the actually things that have actually happened in history. Anyway I'm tired 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Has anyone considered that actually the whole rest of the world is wrong and Mormons are right? Because Mormons consider it all the fucking time and it's actually getting really annoying send help 110
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Guys I'm very tired and I think I misplaced my gender on accident. Has anyone seen it? Anyone remember what it was? 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025There's not really a point to this thread, but as things heat up in the rest of the country the water here gets warmer too. Big changes are coming, to the nation and my home state, and I cannot foresee the outcome of this storm. Stay safe, and resist. 000
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Utah also has not produced much in the way of political radicals, strangely enough. Most Utahn crusaders direct their energy towards combating the LDS church's influence here. There are few, if any, far-right extremest groups like the proud boys operating in the state, which I find strange. 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025And yet, there is seemingly little ICE activity here, despite our sizable migrant population. Is it because of LDS push back? ICE has one office for the whole state and thus far little in the way of actionable operations. Is the not-quite-trumpist government holding the leash? I don't know... 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Also people in Utah almost universally hate politics, the apathy here is nearly touchable. Maybe things will change with all the fascism going around, but we do not have the greatest track record when it comes to resisting authoritarianism and promoting human rights. Things are getting bad. 100
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Currently things are run by a guy who is trying to play both sides off of each other, and I simply cannot see this strategy bearing fruit for much longer. Gov. Cox (yeah that's his name lol) along with senator Curtis, are playing a dangerous game of inter-party politics and its coming to a head soon 110
Rivers Deseret @desserrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025We have the Trump-First republicans which are beefing with the Party-First republicans, neither of whom are acting like their entire party is on the verge of collapse. Meanwhile, the small Democrat minority has its hands full just trying to end the one party control of the state. 100
