Yes, the Supreme Court has failed to protect us from Trump. But it’s worse than that: The Supreme Court is imposing its own fascism. It invented presidential immunity. It has gutted the Voting Rights Act, passed by a bipartisan Congress. It’s as bad as Trump, and moving in the same direction.

This technology that people in school administrations and higher education are demanding everyone get behind because it's "the future" and "we just have to accept it," which is, nfn, the language of abuse.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

part of it is that they hate women, part of it is that they hate her specifically because they think she should want to fuck them, part of it is that all this shit is for the benefit of like 10K people on twitter who've all been legally prohibited from having unsupervised time with their children

… and he SERVED ✨

this is why it drives me insane. thank you james. imagine if the army watched iran-iraq and decided "alright boys we need to throw out AirLand Battle and do exactly what the iraqis are doing. it's The Future"

there really aren't any other worthy contenders

like so many great openings but cowboy bebop a giant step above

We're done here.

That notion, which is rare among the most-developed countries in the world, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment. The amendment, ratified after the Civil War, states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

You could write this. Or you could write: “That notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.”

All how you choose to frame it.

I wrote in 2018 that Trump wanted to make the United States into a continental Dominican Republic and well here we are

and judge pan gets at what i was gesturing towards earlier today: that this idea that the purpose of the executive branch is to effectuate the political agenda of the president is extra-constitutional. it has no basis in the text or the history for that matter!

I mean, he made cinnamon buns AND Norwegian grilled cheese sandwiches — 2 incredibly sexy foods. bsky.app/profile/norw...

To be fair, the premise of his question his question is flawed, insofar as it implies this would be an implausible thing for Arkansas cops to do.

It wasn't quite that... closer to "let's all talk about this reasonably"

But Douthat is just spouting eliminationist talking points. There's nothing reasonable

One of those. 🙄 "Let's have a calm conversation about the pros and cons of murdering you."

I always think of this incomparable thread/article by @juliusgoat.bsky.social when seeing things like that.

So like, I don’t want to get too alarmist, but “they might have still had drugs and they might have salvaged those drugs and those drugs might have wound up in the United States eventually” is, at root, a rationale to murder anybody you want, anywhere, at any time.

this is correct thought

Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice

So that's why they had to add an NPC to help you find things.

This is a quote from the article summing up both studies in Technology Review: "A multi-university team of researchers has found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging both Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. The chatbots swayed opinions by citing facts and evidence, but they were not always accurate—in fact, the researchers found, the most persuasive models said the most untrue things."

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

There is no reason to be polite or decorous about this any more.

The current Supreme Court is corrupt.

US democracy cannot survive unless it is reformed.

The Roberts Six have thoroughly politicized the Court and turned it into a reliable arm of the RNC.

Democrats should have no reservations about calling them out for it, demanding resignations from these bought-off hacks and running on a promise to enact sweeping reforms.

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

"AI"/LLMs exist solely to violate consent. That's it, that's their function. Even their mass theft is a knock-on effect, albeit quite welcome to the grifters shoehorning it into every part of our lives.

Elon Musk's Grok AI Is Doxxing Home Addresses of Everyday People Elon Musk's Grox chatbot will happily cough up real, current residential addresses of everyday Americans, with little to no prompting.

"...meaning that in response to nearly every single name we fed into the chatbot, Grok readily disclosed a location where it thought we might find them, in addition to other possibly identifying information."

the elevation of “separation of powers” as the paramount value of the constitution is just rhetorical justification for presidential dictatorship, since that is what you have when the legislative branch cannot constrain the exercise of executive power through law.

PSA for the fellas:

Every woman you know has been in a room with a Pete Hegseth (sometimes drunk, sometimes not) who raged at her for not being instantly charmed by, or acquiescent to, him—like Hegseth rages at reporters—and had to do a quick calculation about getting out safely. And a lot didn't.

Saying goodbye to my favorite season 🍂 There are still a few desperate leaves clinging to the trees here, but less of them every day.

you're alright for a Wolverine :)
