it is funny how these guys sneer at the Ape Citizen masses for being against data centers because of alleged campaigns of hysterical misinformation while not reflecting for a second why they are obsessed with middle-school girl's volleyball

you have to understand, DC political reporters have evolved to eat tidbits from someone's hand and are completely unable to feed themselves any other way. so they hated biden, who withheld Delicious Tidbits, and love trump, who is a handfed tidbit smorgasboard. really quite simple

MAGA masculinity means declining to publicly criticize the man your daughter has accused of physical abuse, because doing so might prompt a senile 80-year-old man to write mean things about you.

one thing you can see on TikTok etc is that there are a lot of young, low info people whose primary exposure to the concept of antisemitism is as a bad faith smear, and my guess is that’s not good.

this VA decision is actually perfectly consistent with the Republican Party's theory of politics leaving things up to the will of the voter and following procedure is woke and gay, instead you should just do whatever you want and tell everyone else to eat shit

what makes the SCOTUS Gang of Six acting as an unaccountable super-legislature especially intolerable is that they are not just setting up unfavorable rules, they are playing Calvinball where they selectively apply the rules case-by-case exclusively to help Republicans. A judicial dictatorship

If the critical slice of voters is barely paying attention, I don’t know how much value we get from looking at relatively small campaign moves. Like, campaigning for a day with Liz Cheney only matters to voters who could tell you who Liz Cheney is, and those weren’t the ones who mattered.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it: Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.
Dear STEPHEN HELD:
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) previously found you eligible for the TSA
PreCheck™ Application program on 12/21/2020. As an individual previously found eligible for
the TSA PreCheck™ Application Program, you are subject to recurrent checks against various
databases, including law enforcement, immigration, regulatory violation, and intelligence
databases for continued eligibility. TSA has made a preliminary determination that you may no
longer be eligible to participate in the TSA PreCheck™ Application Program because you
committed certain violations of security related regulations, described below in greater detail. As
a result, TSA has preliminarily revoked your eligibility for the program.
RESULTS OF TSA'S ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to TSA PreCheck™ eligibility requirements, applicants may be ineligible to participate
due to disqualifying criminal offenses and other factors, which includes determinations that an
applicant does not pose a sufficiently low risk to transportation security. TSA considers your
conduct on or about September 27, 2025, in Terrace, Illinois, involving Assault on Certain
Officers or Employees under U.S. Code 18 USC 111, to be inconsistent with expedited
screening eligibility, which is reserved for persons known to pose a low risk to transportation
security.
This determination is distinct from any criminal or civil enforcement proceedings which may be
brought against you in conjunction with this incident.
You have not yet been disqualified from participation in the TSA PreCheck ™ Application
Program. This letter is an ineligibility determination that notifies you of the preliminary decision
made by TSA. You may inform TSA in writing of your intent to correct any information you
believe is inaccurate. TSA must receive your request to correct any information you believe to be
inaccurate within 60 calendar days of the date of this letter. If you wish to correct this
information, you must provide any…

IMHO, it is important that Woke 2 be deemed "excessive" by historians, "sweeping too broadly" with "punishments too severe." It cannot be merely a course correction, it must be an overcorrection. Nothing less will serve as an adequate deterrent against the fascists and their collaborators.
