I think Greg is correct, but Americans need to be aware that Magyar’s Tisza government is aggressively going after every Fidesz official, removing them, using every lever of the state to yank them out of power. This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far.

No, he's courting a few thousand of the most deranged swing voters in Iowa, which is why it won't work. He thinks he knows, and he is incorrect.

his theory of politics is completely vibes based and he drank deep of the Reagan revolution. he's a Dem by happenstance because that was the only credible path in California.

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

yes, but also, it's quite damaging if there's sustained heavy rains. a healthy snowpack in the mountains that takes months to melt would be better.

Also let's be completely clear: there is no reason for Dems to ever moderate to reach people who will never vote for them. Voters who are potentially reachable by Dems want ICE abolished, so that should be the party position.

What makes this a pro police state stance is that want to keep the structure intact while swapping out the guys you are currently mad at. The structure is what makes it a police state, the current abuses are what make it a unpopular. You want gestapo with good PR, which is my criticism of the Dems.

abolish is a plurality overall and a supermajority among Dems

morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Then why isn't abolish ice the mainstream Dem position? The same thugs with the same authority is still a police state no matter what you do to their training. They don't want to eliminate the gestapo, not clear to me they even want to gut the budget, they just want it to stop being in the news.

Nothing about "path to citizenship" refutes a police state, nor is my police state argument a contention both sides are the same. The prevailing Dem position is best understood as "police state with better PR". They understand that to be a sustainable project it can't broadcast its worst abuses.

How is it a lie? You can't swing a cat without hitting a "Biden deported more" story. And Harris made her stance extremely clear. Mass deportations don't happen by smiles and rainbows.

If your argument is quibbling about which migrants are "the good ones" then you have already conceded the entirety of the argument.

morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
But they accepted the MAGA problem statement. You can't start from a position of "we need a police state to brutalize and oppress migrants", which Dems 100% do, and expect to run against the police state party in a referendum on police states.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

I think it might also be a case of Colm Meaney just nailing being non-specifically grumpy. if you ask Robinson or Brooks to be grumpy you'll get *ahhhhcting*, but Meaney has way more of that low key register going for him. I think that's why he gets all the ████ ████████ stuff later, too.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Just gonna say in 24 hours I have not seen a single apology at any level by anyone who used the article as an excuse to bash Covid cautious people or queer people as a whole. I have not seen a word from people who gleefully referred to disabled people as “wreckers”. Not one single oops.

some of them are like "you should call to follow up on your application! go hand it to them in person!" and then some of them are like "if you attempt to speak to me in any way for any reason I will light your resume on fire" and they ALL think their opinion is the obvious, valid one

This is a fairytale that people love to tell themselves so they can be convinced that the arc of history bends toward justice. The vast, VAST majority of the men of the SS walked away without even spending a second in prison.

In every community, there are predators. And how that community deals with high-status predators says a lot about them. nypost.com/2026/09/24/t...

“Some of them were very prominent names, you know? People who were famous investors. Businessmen who were in the scene”

what do you know the most predicable thing happened when a bunch of you decided lolcow farming was ok when you do it
lastditchbar on instagram:

Our community should expect more details in
the future. Today we need to address the safety
of the community itself. Stop harassing Soe
Noire. It is neither productive, progressive, nor
valiant to attack and harass a black patron. He
has been a collaborator and performer of Last
Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his
mind about accountability and repair from the
bar. There are so many misconceptions due to
the disorganization of the Globe's article. He did
not call for a shutdown, nor did he call for the
bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not
disparage the owner for being homeless. As a
result of this abysmal journalism, Soe has been
getting additional threats, slurs, and
harassment, and now he is being reported to the
police over something he did not do. This is not
supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is at its core,
anti-blackness hysteria.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.
