As it turns out, federal judges are the only people we've successfully impeached and removed (most recently in 2010), so I'd say that works a lot more often than never.

It was, what, one week into that first term that the Trump administration announced its first broad-based "Muslim ban"?

I think you're reading "just drop some bombs" where I'm reading "this small subset of first-strike armaments alone are more than 1939 Europe would have any idea how to respond to".

... massive advantage in energy and computation, unlistenable communications. What *precisely* is 1939 Europe's path to victory? Because all I'm hearing from you is "maybe Africa won't win because advanced bombing doesn't always work".

j "indict them all" melesky @jmelesky.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
I'm not following your argument here. "Having more modern armaments doesn't guarantee victory", sure, but then what? "Having 80yo armaments DOES guarantee victory"?? One continent has substantially larger population and surface area, air defenses that would shred any attack from the other,

Yeah, I think the failure of the FB movies hit her hard in the ego, and she's desparately trying not to be seen as a has-been. Also, and not for nothing, I suspect that she wants to convince herself that the backlash is actually small, and the show succeeding would validate that.

Okay, going to the internet for help. This image (or something very similar to it) was all over the late 90s: on t-shirts, stickers, wallets, etc. Does anybody know its origin story? My search skills have failed me on this front (in my defense, there are a lot of unrelated cat pics out there).

I'd say all media full stop. My current strategy is to find places and people with values I admire and want to cultivate. And to check in on those values every so often to make sure they're still lining up.

It took me a while to believe that cognitive hazards exist, so i'm mildly sympathetic. But at this point, the hard numbers around ideological drift of x posters specifically should be enough for any skeptic. Unless you've got protocols and a recovery plan, x will melt your brain.

A reddit crafts community banned TERF Wizard crafts. Naturally, a large number of responses to this are in the vein of "oh, sure, that'll change the world". So, to make it very clear: THE WORLD CHANGED. Yesterday, these crafts were allowed in this one corner of the world. Today, they are not.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

If you think it's really important, in the short term, to vote for a compromise candidate while doing other work to protect the vulnerable people that candidate's words or actions might harm? Then your job is also campaigning. You have to campaign now, to convince people.

Tbqh this is like reversing cause and effect. If you were at all on the internet in 2014, you would know the young Nazi problem was part of Trump’s rise to power in the first place. In fact, there are emails between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein about leveraging far right-leaning young men.
