I’ve been a backer-inner for ~10 years now. Just feels safer pulling out. To be clear, I’m not gonna stop backing into parking spaces. I just didn’t think it was possible to politicize parking (unless you’re parking a giant-ass pickup/SUV, but I’m parking a Honda Odyssey, ffs).

Wait wait wait wait. Backing into a parking spot is MAGA-coded? Since when? Why?

These are very easy things to say: I am against gun violence, no matter who is the victim or perpetrator. I am against genocide, no matter who is the victim or the perpetrator. I am against child abuse, no matter who is the victim or the perpetrator. Please let's choose love over fear.

If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.

Trump confirms U.S. strike on alleged Venezuelan drug boat
President Trump says the U.S. military has struck a drug-laden vessel in the southern Caribbean after it left Venezuela. The strike comes a week after Washington deployed warships to the region.

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.

The IRS's free tax filing tool is now reportedly "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

This is the creation of the American NKVD, Stasi, Gestapo. I know it sounds like hyperbole. But how is it not? They have infinite resources to grab people off the street, with no due process, and disappear them. That is what secret police do.

I genuinely believe the only way we smash fascism is if the next Democratic administration is willing to use prosecutions and investigations in aggressive and norm-bending ways that make a lot of bien pensant legal academics extremely uncomfortable.

as for the upshot of the decision, the republican court has put the citizen children of non-citizens in a position similar to that of free blacks during the antebellum period. their right to enjoy the privileges and immunities of american citizenship will vary according to state borders

I am getting increasingly excited for the Highlander reboot. Chad Stahelski will shoot the hell out of it. I was already on board with Henry Cavill as the Highlander (all that dude knows how to do is COMMIT) and now Russell Crowe as Ramirez (or whatever the character is called now)? I'm in!

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

As a member, one of my biggest complaints is that we NEVER actually discipline or excommunicate right-wing psychos for behavior that would get left-wing people exed from the church. Trying to work within to change that. Gonna be a long road.

After reading the new Texas Monthly top 50, and seeing all the gulf coast joints on the list, I have a proposal: Rename the Gulf of Mexico/America the Gulf of BBQ. This is the kind of bipartisanship we need in America.

I care far more about the Texas Monthly top 50 BBQ list than I should. But the new list dropped. And I just spent an hour reading it. And planning a road trip. And maybe a gulf coast sailing trip.

I've seen a lot of folks dunking on this idea for a while, but we didn't lose the election because Harris was the weaker candidate - we lost a propaganda war because we thought we could fight lies with simple truth. If the left doesn't get serious about ramping up message amplification, we're cooked

I live in Utah because we couldn’t afford to live in California during the economic uncertainty of Covid. That is the reason. It’s too expensive. And it’s too expensive because 90% of housing in the LA area is detached single-family sprawl.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out
