This is my Pride & Prejudice Thoughts™️ thread, where I put all my P&P thoughts that I no longer want to keep in my head. I will put chapters when relevant, but my Thoughts™️ will be in no particular order. I will post here wherever thoughts come to me, so there probably won’t be an end.
I got three more bags done! I’m keeping one of them because one of the handles is a little weird and I can’t give/sell that to anyone.

sorry nothing short of “these people never get to have lives in public society again” is gonna cut it. unmask, prosecute, and blacklist every last one
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

This is news you can use.
"It takes planning to make sure you have at least a liter of soapy water mixture with you when you're going to a protest... leaving your house for any reason whatsoever, even just sitting quietly in your home... any place where you might conceivably be pepper sprayed in the United States."

I feel like getting the dudes who demand government issued girlfriends out of the gene pool might be one of those problems that solves itself
📢 “A huge amount of men between the age of 15 and 50 will not pass on their genes. They will effectively die out of the gene pool ... Should society intervene?” Steven Bartlett asked last year.

ICE wearing body cameras simply means we'll see video of somebody getting shot from extra angles

Yes, Peter decided that the continued existence of our democracies isn't compatible with his desired level of personal freedom.

Anyway, if you want a tiny enchanted cottage designed by me on a corner lot with an amazing garden, uh, I'll have one for sale this summer.
IDK, maybe it's good that my mom keeps pissing me off by implying my kids are no fun to hang out with anymore and that I'm a bisexual whore because then I won't actually care that she's decided to follow my sister to Oregon even though we FUCKING BOUGHT HER A HOUSE HERE.

body camera are made out of 100% artisan-crafted bespoke bullshit. Abolish ICE.
Speaker Mike Johnson all over the news this morning saying that him and trump

WANT ICE AGENTS TO HAVE BODY CAMERAS

Because of course they do. They want to expand ICE surveillance capabilities to centralize their authoritarian power.

Any Democrat who calls this "reform" is a liar or a fool.

Chotiner: Tell me what you found interesting about these vampires.

Documentarian: Well, it's just -- the group dynamics, I guess.

Chotiner: I can see that. I can see finding Nandor, Laszlo and Nadia entertaining.

Documentarian: Exactly.

Chotiner: So. How many people did you watch them murder?

If we had a functioning Congress they would make it illegal for grocery stores to have sales linked to your card and different sales linked to digital coupons.

He’d add himself to the Lincoln Memorial, being cradled in Lincoln’s lap.
A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”
He’s going to tear it down
