It’s amazing watching so many people choose the wrong side of history while history is happening all around us

I do not want to see a Supreme Court justice’s face on cable news, period

Why the hell is this not getting more press? “We took away free speech”???

This is why I always chuckle whenever I hear some elected Dem talk about a bipartisan deal to re-open the government like dude you're the last person left on earth that hasn't heard about the business stylings of Donald Trump. The Art of the Deal is not paying for services rendered

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

If you're the person* who reached out to ask if it's worth it to keep going —

my view is this: if you can get out to a country with a healthcare system that will work for you? do it.

otherwise? make them kill you.

Bluesky look at this gift I found for you

As we all know, real activists who achieve real things talk about doing federal crimes on public social media all the time

(do not trust anyone who talks about how cool doing federal crimes is on public social media)

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Everyone could use a reminder that the idea behind our system of government is that we cede some of our power to it in exchange for it working on our behalf. When it stops doing that it becomes illegitimate and must be changed. The idea that the people can "betray" a government organ is perverse

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

It is what it is. She's in a facility that takes good care of her and we call and talk with her as often as we can.

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

My mom has it and so far she's hanging on, but we all know it's a matter of time now.

THESE are the promises I want to hear.

Yes.
Everyone laughing that there's no such thing as Antifa are not realizing they are now Antifa.

Someone is going to point a laser pointer at a helicopter

That helicopter is going to “suffer a systems failure as a result of laser incidence to control systems”, etc, and go down in a field. Or worse, a residential area. Or, badly, an industrial park.

And then the Cool Zone begins

Admittedly I am nowhere near a medical expert except in certain very narrow fields aligning with my disabilities which don't yet include congestive heart failure, so YMMV

Someone said that he has the heart of a 65-year-old that had died of congestive heart failure three days ago and honestly I think that tracks. The only thing keeping the dipshit walking is cutting-edge medical science and on some level I think that he knows it.

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." Great essay from @juliusgoat.bsky.social

Its true they have not “finally resolved the issue” because as soon as a Dem president tries any of this shit they will decide its against the law.
