two thing that annoys me about Lee Kuan Yew worship is that nobody who does it seems to care about *modern* singaporean politicians and American right-wingers who do it would never accept LKY's policies of, e.g., massive public housing projects in a country that makes posting racism illegal

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

This is a very big part of why we're descending into authoritarianism. Liberals have spent a decade extremely bored by the need to say obvious things and stand by simple principles.

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Shit’s decent for home but picking up a box of them at post offices 100mi apart every 5 days or so would hit so much harder than existing options, I’m just saying

The asymmetric rules of political rhetoric have really reached their peak this past week. Conservatives have and continued to call for liberals to be murdered. And now when liberals *literally quote Charlie Kirk's words* it gets described as dangerous rhetoric. It's so fucking ridiculous.
