But that is precisely the situation right now according to SCOTUS itself. They are constantly deciding major issues via the shadow docket, without any reasoning or final order, to ensure those rulings are *not* legally binding and can be reversed whenever they feel like it. That is illegitimate.

The bubble is already here, the burst is what's looming. :P

Authoritarian, trollish, smug: it's the perfect memorial.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder

Oh no. Oh hell no. "Bill could lead to U.S law enforcement operating more freely on Canadian soil." No no no. No. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

“A study, published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29%, their risk of hospitalizations by 39% & their risk of death by 64%”

Benefits were seen even if 0 risk factors

I joked about it but it may actually be worthwhile for every Dem who gets on tv to start saying Stephen Miller is the real president

“When streets became calmer & safer, more people felt comfortable trying a bike commute for the first time. Families began pedaling to the park…Local businesses saw new life…And cycling stopped feeling like a niche activity—it became part of everyday Parisian life.”

Played tennis with my frenemy this evening, and immediately felt less confident in my game again. Something about his play style that just... gets to me. :/

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

The very first riot after a George Floyd protest was started by a white supremacist nicknamed "Umbrella Man."

This is why "defund the police" was so important.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

They created a fairy tale land for one grandpa and he's having the time of his life. His entire reality is like that thing where the brain releases a bunch of euphoric chemicals when it's dying

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Stephen Miller goes on camera saying ICE is fighting Antifa on the streets because the country is a war zone with dangerous criminals out to destroy America and then the video will just cut to a video of a group of ICE officers suplexing a 110-year-old blind nun

AI slop feeding polarization and stupidity.
FPTP voting systems feeding polarization and stupidity.
Religious extremism feeding polarization and stupidity.

It's like a perfect storm of idiocy we're trying to survive through. :/

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
