This lends more evidence to a theory I floated to @adriandaub.bsky.social on our forthcoming episode of @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social: that the right is consuming the snuff film of Renee Good’s murder as a kind of pornography.

History can be surprising, for instance who could have predicted that the assassination of Bobby Kennedy would result in the demolition of US medical research 57 years later?

So how many starving kids are you willing to sacrifice?
How many families becoming homeless?
Com'on big guy: let's hear some numbers, show us how tough you are

Respectfully disagree.
“Bipartisan support came from a few GOP who are underwater in their districts & trying to shore up support before the midterms
Near zero chance it passes the senate & will be vetoed if it does
Meaningless theatre
Holding the line on shutdown was the ONLY WAY to get results
IMO

I have a list of social media accounts run by elected Dems. They get very little attention, relative to their importance.
Why? My hypothesis is that social media prefers performative bullshit over the pragmatic grinding of politics. Unrealistic solutions go viral, positive change get diminished.

The MAGA regime is currently doubling down on its tactical stance of “we will kill women like dogs for merely displeasing us.”

It is bad that a lot of the biggest, most politically engaged accounts on this website have fallen back to either straight up lying to their followers about what Democrats are/aren't doing, or have fallen back to arguing that "people" think that, and that we must validate their feelings of rage.

They arrived in Columbia, South Carolina, and the crowds were already there.
Not shouting.
Not chanting.
Just waiting.
Some people had been there since the night before — not for a spectacle, not for a leader promising power — but to stand quietly as the monks of the Walk for Peace passed through.
