Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Interesting discrepancy between "Restore Affordability" and "Affordability Is a Hoax". Natalie certainly didn't wrote this one. 050
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Throwing an idea into the pile, the supposed "savings" from DOGE? A lot of that has funding going nowhere so it wouldn't be surprised if this is how it was being used. 000
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The potential harm makes the negligence go well beyond anything we have experience with, thought. Is not everyday that you have a (mostly) autonomous thing break containment and accidentally threaten every single system connected to the internet. 001
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Executive pardons in general are rather iffy. I feel like it's a stick a bit too large to wield against the judiciary and rule-of-law. 0100
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 25/09/2026All else aside, "drone strikes in Mar-A-Lago" would be a pretty funny way to start the year 170
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Building can survive bombs and drones but you die if there's an electrical fire. Can't even bail out the windows because they qre fireproof. Winning! :D 041
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Who even is this man and why is he so damn calm. 100
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Again, as a trans person, the important part here is understanding The Stakes of Fascism and consequences of not taking it seriously I do think not voting for politicians putting anti-trans messaging can be good, but that's because those are often Fetterman-style ratfuckers who don't get The Stakes 030
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Didn't they leave the NYT (?) out to dry when the White House tried to push them out? Not to mention the whole Pentagon clusterfuck. 021
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I'm starting to have extreme condescension towards anyone who cannot see The Stakes of Fascism and react accordingly. These include the median voter, about 1/3 of the Democratic Party, and a bunch of people on here, apparently. 1570
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I just don't see how this is a reasonable position right now. Like, I'm not American but I am trans, and the way I see it "Transphobes Ds in the future" is well below "FASCISM RIGHT NOW" on the list of concerns. These are The Stakes and it seems a bunch of Americans just aren't aware of it. 380
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 14/09/2026"Liberal" here meaning anyone who can see The Stakes of Fascism, love to see it. 0140
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Underappreciated aspect of this is that the Venezuelan diaspora and opposition just rolled over and went along with it, so you don't even have a Zelensky-style figure pointing out this is a shit deal. I hate my fellow citizens :D 110
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026FUCKstatic.klipy.comCarl Wheezer: I Don't Feel So Good Thanos MemeALT: Carl Wheezer: I Don't Feel So Good Thanos Meme 010
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026This is because Americans as a whole don't seem understand The Stakes, no matter if they are voters, consultants or politicians. If you are hell-bent on being a one issue voter, then focusing on The Stakes is the only mildly serious way of doing it. 410
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Because one of those men belongs to the fascist party currently occupying your government? And that makes pushing said party out an existencial need for everyone with a bested interest on a free society? People not getting the actual stakes is what makes it a non-starter position. 500
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Hi I'm allat too. But I'm sorry these American mfs just don't know what's what. 200
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Being told that "you need to pick and choose what human rights the Democrats have to give up forever in the name of appeasing The Unwashed Masses". Deeply unserious positions all around. 2110
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Give up? Permanently? That's just not a serious position. 100
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Americans got Trump out of that bargain, so I'm not shy about saying that it was, and is, an extremely unserious position. 621
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026So the solution is to speak loudly and do nothing? Abstention is not a valid electoral tactic under these circumstances, but simply a form of collaboration, and present harm outweighs any *potential* future harm. That's why you vote the fascists OUT! 1010
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Deeply unserious positions. As trans, women and immigrant, I'm telling you: It CAN get worse than this. 530
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026What about immigrants? Or women? Or pretty much anyone with a bested interest in kicking the GOP out of power. You can't be a single issue voter when one of the parties is made up of soul-eating fascists motherfuckers, I'm sorry. This isn't a serious position for the country you live in. 32150
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Then run for office yourself, so you won't have even a slim chance to get lied to. Because everyone regardless of policy or party has a chance to lie? Weird logic. 200
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Not even American. What I'm telling mfs up here is that shit has stakes above and beyond one policy position. If you think the GOP is full of fascist demons, and I do, then you vote against them. Simple as. Dems might be iffy but you are simply voting to kick the GOP *out*. 450
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026If you need to go ask Delphi to tell you a politician's positions ten years from now, you might as well vote for yourself. You vote with that you know now, and what you know now is that the ontologically evil party is *worse* than the broad coalition with somewhat evil people in it. 300
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I'm sorry but this just seems extremely counter-productive when it comes to actual elections. In primaries yeah, sure, fuck them bastards. But when the chips are down you need to vote *against* the evil demons even if that means voting for someone you don't like. This just... logical. 14260
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 13/09/2026As a ✨trans person✨I think is interesting to see a subculture of trans puritanism resembling... well, the very same puritanism that have pushed us were we are globally. 280
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Woke 1 strategy applied to the Woke 2 battlefield. Very suboptimal. VOTE BLUE AMERICANS. 090
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 12/09/2026There's no need for Alecto if I simply turn into a corn cob. 011
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 11/09/2026We should do something like this for Charlie too. 120
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Legitimately, Anna's Archive and its librariets might provide value to the world at large than, say, Wikipedia. I wouldn't be able to read at all without them. 0431
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I've been idly wondering this ever since he won, and my conclusion is that the only way for Americans to avoid a constitutional crisis is for Trump to creak it before 2028. 000
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I thought the Ukranians were just picking targets to avoid causing a spill, but I guess turning all that oil into a fireball works just as well? 002
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Man I really should binge The Expanse show. The books are excellent but I'm curious about how they handle the honestly insane stuff of the later ones lol. 021
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Really hate this thing cranks do where they pretend that all complaints about medical mistreatment and neglect are equally valid regardless of context when, in fact, they aren't. Yeah sorry, doctors laughing at your homeopathic cure is NOT the same as prescribing the wrong medicines for your baby. 22287
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 06/09/2026You can take Steve away from the Budget, but you can't remove the Budget from Steve. 000
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Can't believe Budget Steve is an actual guy. I thought everyone was just making fun of Pete! 1170
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I do think there are a number of good reasons, related to utility and infrastructure costs, to oppose data centers. But that's a budget/tax discussion and we hate spreadsheet people now I guess. 040
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Elections? Having consequences? Seems unlikely since, as we all know, Only Good Can Happen. 030
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I wonder if Kirk really was the one guy in charge of picking outrage targets, because they've gotten significantly worse at this ever since It Happened. 2320
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Please, beloved alien poster Sky Marciani, we need you to explain Venezuelan crude petroleum quality to the Venezuelan people. Only you can save us from MAGAzolanismo. 010
Samantica, The Exiled @samonika.bsky.social · 29/08/2026We're getting the money of the oil we are selling, some kind of backstage support and supposedly democracy in "a couple of weeks". Really it just seems that HIGHLY RESPECTED (kill me) President Delcy signed the deal which Zelensky rejected early last year. 010
