Reposted by some guymtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · 29/07/2026All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back. 5553951357

We went through his "authoritarian checklist" and analyzed where Trump has been successful (many areas, sadly) and where he has not. newrepublic.com/article/2130...newrepublic.comTranscript: Trump’s Authoritarianism Has Failed in One Critical WayPolitical scientist Donald Moynihan argues that Trump has consolidated power on many fronts, but has largely failed in his efforts to take control of the U.S. election process. 313157

Reposted by some guyMicah @rincewind.run · 03/06/2026here's the thing about the courts: we actually need more judges! everyone is overworked and cases often linger for ages because there's just not enough capacity in the system to get to them what I'm saying here is the supreme court isn't the only part of the courts we can pack 16789129

Reposted by some guyRemain In Hell Without Despair @daphnelawless.com · 29/05/2026I don't think YIMBY will ever win a decisive victory on the affordability front - too many confounding factors. We have to win the argument that *intensification is good in itself*. It is necessary for ecologically sustainable, cosmopolitan, 15-minute, car-free cities. Sprawl is reactionary. 16916

some guy @some--guy.bsky.social · 10/12/2025framers basically went "i am going to create a system without those terrible political parties", spent 0.0002 seconds trying to govern without them, and immediately gave up and created them anyway 021

Reposted by some guyMichael @fleerultra.bsky.social · 15/11/2025the Democratic Party should have 2 major goals for the next time it holds power: (1) completely rebuild the destroyed federal government capacity, and (2) crush the GOP, which enabled so much corruption and immiseration. destroy their funding, jail their leaders, make it so a new party has to emerge 3333739742
Reposted by some guypost malone ergo propter malone @proptermalone.bsky.social · 14/11/2025this is the crux of the matter for me. I just don't believe Platner didn't know what he had on his skin for twenty years. I can imagine forgiving an edgelord take on this but lying about it undermines the entire whole apology, such as there's an apology. 30812102
some guy @some--guy.bsky.social · 16/10/2025ok. I never argued that, and I don't think that. not going to keep discussing with someone who is going to repeatedly "so you hate waffles". you can read what I said or argue against the version of me you made up in your head, your choice 000
Reposted by some guyWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Democrats can demand a rollback of the Supreme Court ICE racial profiling case. It’s a trivial legislative fix. It poses virtually no political risk for them. It protects 68 million people from open government persecution. It protects basic constitutional values. No government funding without this. 271605387
