You can't compromise with these Nazis & fascists.
Just say it:
- Immigration & pluralism are good
- Free trade & a social safety net are good
80 years ago we beat them, we're doing it again.

When my first kid was three, I realized what made that age so maddening was that they can interact with you like they're normal humans but they aren't able to hold that together from one minute to the next. Gradually, I figured out that pattern never stops for anyone, the intervals just get longer.
one unexpected outlook change from being a dad is taking the self care people 10x more seriously when it comes to dealing with weirdly directed anger and rage (including Online). many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers

My only prediction for 2026 is that people are going to set data centers on fire. Americans don't really have any other recourse except to set things on fire. We are notorious for burning shit in cases of joy or rage (or both at the same time!). It's what we do! Data centers will become targets.

As a society, we should dedicate 2026 to making dead-eyed fascist ghoul Stephen Miller as miserable as possible by continuing to reject him and his cruel fantasies for our country.
“It’s clear they have not achieved the shock-and-awe mass deportations that they wanted, and they are still running into quite a lot of obstacles,” says @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social.
Miller is causing much suffering, which surely pleases him, but he's falling short

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.
Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

I think people liked him partly as a symbol of personal authenticity even if the authentic Trump is a flim-flam bullshit artist. We have so many examples of JD being a slimy little flatterer and I think the one thing people still have reliable radar for is “cool or tryhard”

yeah Trump was all things to all people, and JD is not going to convince the same low info coalition who sees Trump as some world historic business genius to sign up for KKK hoods
Trump only won because he somehow tricked enough people into believing that he doesn't actually mean what he explicitly says. I don't think JD can make that work, lol.

Republicans supported “all of the above” until clean energy became cheaper than fossil fuels.
My latest for @heatmap.news:
It’s now safe to say the “all-of-the-above” Republican Party is dead.
A new anti-renewables movement is gaining steam in Congress and could derail the chances of a comprehensive deal to change the federal permitting process. And they nearly sank it today.

The delta between what Biden did and how much anger he got for it and the absolute crickets Trump has gotten for making the student loan landscape *magnitudes worse than it was before* is absolutely one of the most enraging things about this entirely enraging era.
