"what's bushidoliberalism?" basically this but instead of an emperor the object of reverence is the constitution and trans rights

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Ok, so hear me out. This, but the unification of Italy. Victor Emanuel, Cavour, Garibaldi. Entire gallery of characters. And you still get to mock the French with takeover of the papal state.

Ordering a matcha latte at the cafe then sitting down and pulling something out of my tote bag, everyone internally groans. I reveal it’s the print edition of Liberal Currents, the mood immediately shifts and all the patrons and employees line up to shake my hand and thank me for my good opinions.

Not a great snapshot of what Election Day would look like on its own, but as a snapshot of how many Republican voters would stay home it's illuminating. A whole lot of Trump voters are feeling like suckers right about now
Generic Ballot Polling:

🔵 Democrat: 46%
🔴 Republican: 36%

We need to do everything we can to encourage posts like this on bluesky. Terrible food opinions from big name sportswriters are genuinely the lifeblood of any social media app
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

You people WILL be getting a three season HBO series on the Peloponnesian War and you WILL like it or you’re going to the re-education camps.

F/A-XX in shambles, Connie canceled, LSM/LAW stuck in perpetual torment, SM-6 production in shambles, F-35C buys at lowest rates, F/A-18E/F line being terminated, DDG(X) sent to the indeterminate future. The US Navy's century of Burkiliation is here. Arleigh-Burkes now and forever.

And another piece, a modernist Lady Liberty by Jacques Minkus. A simple, confident design, featuring the subject in a simplified light-and-shadow style. Wearing a crown of stars, a red-and-white-striped garment, and the text: "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness"

Another WW2-era printed cachet piece that I thought was a very elegant. The "V for Victory" motif, line drawings of civilians and soldiers (representing the home front), the torch of liberty, all packed into a tight, rectangular piece.

All right, keeping this WW2 theme going. I came across a trove of this stuff, and I resolved to bring these designs "back from the dead"

This one was from a cachet envelope that I think resonates today: "LIBERATION FROM NAZI TERROR WILL COME THROUGH OUR VICTORY"

The thing you have to understand about the white "people" of Alabama is that they will be given a choice between a racist college football coach and a man who prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan and they will choose the racist football coach by 50 points because the other guy is pro-choice

this doesn't mean 'disagreeing with Will.' I disagree with Will moderately often! it means people lying about and harassing him, who appear largely to be dealing with a made-up hate figure in their heads.
