Scholar Officials for Zohran Mamdani

the simplest answer is that almost everything now is for a tiny tier of viewers they feel they absolutely cannot resist catering to, from hyperborean_boi on discord to the President

Anyone employed by or selling a “nudify” app should be not be able to go out in public without being spit upon

really wish i could have been a fly on a wall during their meeting to understand how he beefed it so bad

it's hard not to spiral. and yeah, i don't think "we should become wiley e. coyote" is a good answer either bsky.app/profile/last...

the thing is, they've turned everything immigration-related to stephen miller, who has never run for office, has never held an elected position, and who could not win a popularity contest consisting solely of members of his own household. he is indifferent to the future of the republican party.

my most parochial take is that a lot of national dysfunction and elite pathologies genuinely do primarily spring from roots in the SF Bay Area. like why do so many tech sector types have such insane opinions about the efficacy of the govt?

no jareds in positions of power

because this feels kind of like The Repairer of Reputations, except Trump is less competent than Winthrop and less swagful than Castaigne

have you actually read The Repairer of Reputations?

honestly the way Jeffries has stood by both Cuellar and Adams makes me think someone should take a look at his finances

they really are that two-dimensional, they're not even the good guy in their *own* inner narratives. evil on purpose as an identity trait

fwiw I think lethal robot infantry, if/when we get there, will be uniquely bad because it’s much easier to make them do things human soldiers won’t do consistently

"Brett Kavanaugh had six figures in credit card debt shortly before he was confirmed to the Supreme Court" is one of those things that will live rent-free in my head forever because I quite literally have represented someone in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy over substantially less debt.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Gavin Newsom would do everything in his power to ensure zero accountability for Republican war criminals

since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying

worth saying that some portion of the freed slaves were themselves illegal aliens having been brought illegally into the united states by smugglers. if the birthright clause applies to them, it applies to undocumented immigrants

Or, let me rephrase: if SCOTUS once again decides that the Constitution means absolutely nothing at all, thereby permitting Trump to end birthright citizenship, it's go-time

This is also where I stand

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

The problem is in our culture most people (yes, even libs) believe you have the right to do almost anything you want to your children

no jareds in positions of power

Thomas Massie is better than Jared Golden or Henry Curllar, but Thomas Massie is also barely a Republican anymore

our media environment in general needs a brutal demagafication but starting with xitter and facebook singlehandedly solves half the problem imo

seriously why does the legislature keep sending Hochul these slop transportation bills

If Dems are going to run against Trump’s bad economic policies that are making Americans poorer, then nobody associated with Biden’s team of “mercantilism with a human face” protectionists can be on the ticket. And Dems, more broadly, need to start figuring out how to talk differently about trade.

i think cnn sucks but its funny how unprepared republicans are for even light touch questions outside of the fox news bubble

the avatar movies are pure slop and I’m tired of pretending they’re not

if you believe this, every single one of you has to be prepared to demand this of your Dem representatives in 2029 and be prepared to primary them if they stand in the way
