This may or may not be what they’re thinking. But if it’s not, it’s completely unclear what path they see back to a country where the other party feels bound by basic procedural rules. “If Republicans get 49% of the vote they can ignore the Constitution” isn’t a functional principle.

studying feminist history has left me with this weird thing where i treat the women involved in women's liberation as like actual complex human beings who are almost never wholly villains or heroes, who you can learn from no matter their flaws and failures

*angrily slamming the encyclopedia Britannica through a glass table* stagflation has NOTHING to do with deer!

It’s simple, really: if any woman anywhere has ever done anything wrong, then women as a class are not entitled to a freedom struggle.

No no no no , you don’t understand: any flaw, failure, myopia, or strategic misstep in any feminist—ever, at any time, throughout the whole history of the movement—delegitimizes and renders suspect the entire concept of women’s liberation.

We couldn’t possibly be in a worse information environment for what’s happening. Which is probably, in part, why it’s happening.

i always wonder if folks who say this realize they're pushing the other side's narrative? "red states contain only people who voted that way/live those values, and anyone there harmed by their policies doesn't count bc they shouldn't live there" ...like. listen. you're singing the other side's song

10 years of fundraising emails off the spectre of authoritarian assault on democracy and now that the far right is once again in power and openly doing everything to prevent ever losing it, and the last time I can recall Schumer making an effort it was to ensure the budget funding the assault passed

Nate Bethea @inthesedeserts.bsky.social "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn." — six words. impact undercut by a near-century of overinterpretation "I want that twink Obliterated." -only five words (20% more powerful). ponderous and cryptic.

cautionary gale @poisonjr.bsky.social We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money.

Typewriter Monke @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social "why not use [language model] for this" well you see I take some amount of pride in having stuff to say that can't be predicted by a statistical estimate April 28, 2025 at 6:04 AM

I like that people enjoy this one. Feels nice sometimes to drop the pretense and let out my genuine wish that everyone achieve some sort of security and ability to appreciate and find joy in their idiosyncracies.
