Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

All of it is pretty decently documented.
I mean usually people try to curate it to stuff with physical outcomes. Otherwise 90% of that list is performative crap like this one. And if you don't think that was performative have a look at what red states are doing in schools.
You do understand he can only do so much, right? You're calling it performative, but he can't do most of the major things without Congress.
If you're only complaint is "it's not enough he should do more" then how about you tell me what your definition of "more" is, and then we can take a look at the actual laws and see if it's something he can do without Congress.
On that action he could withhold funding. Any police officers enforcing bathroom laws can be arrested and charged. He can federalize the Texas National Guard so Abbott can't use them on the border. He could direct Darpa to research battery technology and make any resulting patents free and open for anyone to produce.
That's 3 ideas in his power in less than 5 minutes. The laws are already on the books. He refuses to use them and keeps running this "woe is me, congress is out of control" narrative and I'm tired of nobody calling him on it.
