Incidents still happen now and again, but it is *extremely* established that the government cannot force kids to make religious or patriotic displays they don't want to, and reliably results in humiliating legal defeats, with damages, when it does happen.

This is another moment that makes me really proud of US free speech extremism.

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

A question that haunts me: “will people so insane with distrust that they won’t vaccinate their kids answer questions from a nonpartisan pollster?”

it’s a combo of not having had to run competitive *general* election races and typically focusing on the *primary* electorate. these guys could say whatever shit they wanted before because the republican base doesn’t really care, but having to run against a dem who could win is unknown to them

If the trans panic stuff bombs in 2026 (as polls indicate it's going to) I wonder if they're seriously going to try making Furries the new culture war.

I tried Sweet Shop on my ipad, but why does it display comics in vertical scroll instead of letting me swipe right to go to the next page? Is there a setting I'm missing?

a fictional chart from 1995 to 2025 showing "guys who like sports" becoming more left-wing coded and "guys who says sportsball is the opiate of the masses" becoming more right-wing coded

One thing that’s interesting about this is that it shows that despite insisting the wokes overinterpet everything, conservatives are actually aware of and agree with their critics about how coded racist appeals work, they just like them bsky.app/profile/newr...

it's a little frustrating the extent to which people cling to doom. ask yourself, how is trump actually going to steal the election? what would that involve? what actions could he take? what pushback would there be? 1

You can kind of see the electorate coming into focus at around D+7-10, which is an *extraordinarily* good place to be at as a baseline, but should also make you very skeptical about the D+5,000 polls that keep getting released.

The White House just tweeted "Touchdown" and showed a bunch of clips of guys getting hit trying to catch the ball. Literally the opposite of a touchdown. The only people who write that sports are right-wing coded are people who don't understand the right wing and don't watch sports

Reason I think this is neat is that there's provably unexplored space left to check out. It's cool if you want to make a roguelike deckbuilder but you absolutely do not have to.

it’s so funny that people were like “OMG a 2PM Oval Office announcement, is Trump going to end the war in Iran or invade Cuba?!?!” and it turns out, no, he’s just going to rant about how good the economy is + how elections are rigged and then fall asleep

There's no real point in arguing with his mouth noises, particularly not when preaching to the Bluesky choir, but this is *noteworthy* nonsense. If the revenue were real (it's not), then it would be revenue *of the United States government,* equally available to a Democratic Congress to spend.

It's legitimately incredible that Swan Boy has made Noel much more likeable and thus more able to serve as a protagonist in storylines with emotional stakes, without making him any less of a douchebag. His "redemption arc" starts with him murdering a dude to drink out of his skull!

It's maybe a hot take, but I think Republicans going all-in on trans panic and then suffering historic losses is probably going to put a real dent in the trans panic stuff as a strategy.
