Let's focus on making life so livable that anyone complaining sounds like a whiny bitch "I'm sorry you're unhappy that everyone has housing and food and healthcare, that must be really hard for you"

These bigots like to talk about assimilation because it sounds like they're scoring people on their behavior rather than their genes. But when people are behaving exactly like their ideal of all-American sports-lovin' too-big-pastel-shirt wearin' bros, it still doesn't count.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

The only to understand about "MAHA" or Trumpism is that these people all believe the fundamental flaw with our society is that we devised too many ways to intervene against the laws of nature to allow The Weak to survive. They're solving the problem that some kids should be dying but aren't.

As always: if there's any class of people who do not have due process rights, then *nobody* has due process rights, because the government can just claim someone is in that class and there's no process to establish otherwise.

if you have feelings about SCOTUS after today, and after the last week, and after the last months and years, remember that at least you can vote for state supreme courts in many places this year, and those matter a ton too my state-by-state guide to every state supreme court contest:

Abortion, redistricting, and ballot access remain heated issues as voters face dozens of supreme court races across 32 states this year.

A good way to tell who the actually scary violent people are is to observe who's allowed to threaten others with impunity and who gets called out for the slightest disrespect

Among so many there seems to be a yearning for the sweet days of 2015, or even 2019, when some of the most spectacular damage had not yet been done. How to explain that that ship sailed long, long ago, and it's not coming back -- ever?

What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again. 4/4

Damn
Excerpt from page 23 of the document:

I relied on all of you and your personal
representations in this case about what has been issued in
discovery, about the types of searches you have done for
exculpatory material, about what arguments you will and will
not make in this case. And I do that because, first of all, I
treat every attorney who appears before me as an officer of
the court. But secondly, because I put even more reliance on
Department of Justice attorneys. [highlighted text] Your sole goal is to do justice. Your client is justice itself. [end of highlighted text]
I do believe deeply in the presumption of regularity
and that most government attorneys are doing the best they can
to do the right thing. That trust has been broken

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

do think a lot of american politics is afflicted by a curse of "worse things aren't possible" when they actually are which has led to no less than three generations of political leaders who think the bottom can't fall out

Genuinely one of the best things about having kids is they force you to do things you’ve decided you’re no good at: telling stories, drawing, whatever. Maybe you do suck! But you will gain from trying anew.

Orthogonal to what your comment but I remember reading someone saying a secular, pluralistic society is worth fighting for for its own sake and not as a means to some other end. The wisdom of that gets reinforced every single day lately.
