The media plays into the fear mongering over MAID. As this CBC story demonstrates. But here’s the biggest problem. Very few people die using MAID. Tens of thousands die from poverty. But you won’t find stories saying how poverty has gone ‘too far’. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

There are absolutely exceptional Dems running, and they merit praise, but we do the truth and ourselves a disservice to say "Blue Wave" as it implies voters' actions are motivated by embracing Democrats. It's a "Red Wipeout" or "Republican Repudiation." (H/t Michael Podhorzer.)

Screenshot of a fuckin tweet from actual publisher WordOnFire (heard of them before? I hadn’t) that reads “Brand-new novel from bestselling author

This novel will be released through Word on Fire Luminor in June 2027.” There’s an image of the terrible cover that looks like shit and Douthat’s awful face. I checked the amazon link and it’s real, God help us all

Ok. I guess that's where the disconnect is for me. Judges put in place under these circumstances and who enabled grotesque things to happen shouldn't just be impeached, they should be arrested, tried, convicted, and punished. Nazi appointed judges shouldn't have kept their positions, right?
