I mean, I personally look forward to their attempts to paint James Talarico and Jon Ossoff as jihadists. They should definitely embrace that strategy.

Consider the jihadism!

He’s made it this far, he should live to see his resurgent political project burned to ashes.

A kid who’s being raised right! ☺️

They’d work really well as companion pieces with echoing themes and through lines!

I hope TPM is open to that idea. Then, the demon doesn’t have to win.

This is also not what “badmouthing” means! He wasn’t calling tariffs a bitch lol

How often would he have taken his shirt off in front of other people? It’s the kind of thing that elicits strong reactions (Nazis who spot a potential new bestie, outrage, etc). It’s not exactly discreet!

Does it mean that children whose parents would seek to deny them standard, life-saving medical treatment for various reasons (woo-woo juicing instead of toxic chemo, no blood transfusions for Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc) wouldn’t be compelled by the state to provide it? That’s the law everywhere else!

He’s been talking about it for months and should never have been allowed to move in the demolition equipment.

Taken from another poster for WHITE HOUSE DOWN. Channing Tatum is looking buff, sweaty, and a little dirty. He is heavily armed and wearing an undershirt to protect the US president, played by Jamie Foxx. They are fleeing a burning White House.

I MEAN COME ON

I’m honestly shocked Democrats have not attacked Republicans on this more. Symbols make for effective rhetoric.

They’ve cast themselves as Hollywood blockbuster baddies, and the response is…nothing.

That’s why I was leaning towards ‘resigned.’

And then I saw the dude’s picture.

(Bad bad bad)

The people having a decade-long temper tantrum because a presidential candidate called them deplorable:

…we’re going to end up learning this is somehow related to the Mark Sanchez stabbing incident, aren’t we

They don’t see themselves as enforcing immigration laws. They see themselves as deciding who gets to be American

Prayers for whomever will be bringing a news segment with this clip to Bari Weiss

Honestly, Newsom could do worse than shitpost about federalizing the national guard to clean up the white supremacists in *spins wheel* northern Idaho when the Democrats are back in the WH. In case he needs a little reminder of how this works.

“I’m gonna take away your health care and then yell at *you* for being upset, because *you’re* the ones being mean to *me*”

Just carry on Ma’am

Being overtly rude to your constituents is a campaign strategy of a sort, I suppose

You could be forgiven for wondering whether they’re actively looking for their Rodney King. Or the next George Floyd.

Not when Stephen Miller is on TV calling everyone who ever helped a refugee a terrorist.

(Let’s say I would not be shocked of we learned the gunman who murdered 4 people and burned down the LDS church subscribed to some kind of “great replacement” ideology. Not after Pittsburgh.)

Not totally, but growth slows down considerably and your fruit slowly ripens. Mine started looking antsy to go back outside (putting out lots of leaves, going into bloom, etc) around April.

Honestly, your terrace gets lots of sun, so it’s very doable. Get a dwarf so you can move it inside in the winter (otherwise they grow too big, as you can see.)

I have a Meyer lemon, and he’s covered in lemons. Go for it!

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.

A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

It’s a little different! There’s supposed to be wiggle room for states to interpret state law ofc. But SCOTUS had imposed some national uniformity and coherence in areas of overlap… and what happens when that blows?

We’re also starting to see state supreme courts look at language in state constitutions that’s directly borrowed from the US constitution, read those same words totally differently from SCOTUS, & blow raspberries at the supremes.

I suspect we’ll see more of it. The pressure will continue to build.

Preferred #caturday napping spot under the late-season fennel in all its seedy glory.

Very cool that NYT headline writers are going right along with accused murderer’s description of an alleged murder as an accident.

And various species of conservatives, including ones that are easily gettable for Spanberger in *Virginia*

When speaking to thousands of disillusioned FBI agents & laid-off VA employees, she shouldn’t be above showing a little rhetorical tact vis-à-vis the people they used be (former GOP voters.)

This thing where they pretend there’s not a family w/ refugee status sitting in the next pew over is bizarre. Everyone I know who grew up a practicing Catholic knows the Spanish mass by heart, bc if you slept in & were running late, Spanish mass it was. This was/is widely considered good & normal!
