The aim of the Republican Party is to delegitimize and dismantle the United States government in order to resegregate, restore patriarchy, privatize and plunder the states they control.

Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

Troy Jackson on the Iran War: "Sen. Collins voted for it 5 times before she started voting against it. By that time, we're already into it and we're in another forever war that you just heard her say, it's not thought out, we don't know what we're doing, but she made sure that it happened."

Too many people in the media give Trump props for "transparency" because he talks to reporters frequently. But he lies most of the time and often ignores questions. A day after he talked about letting Iran destroy Los Angeles and San Diego, he won't even explain what he meant.

As a Catholic, like Alito, I think it's so important for you to know how little—how absolutely not at all—your marriage (or your LGBTQ identity) impacts my religious liberty. In fact, refusing to acknowledge your marriage (or your LGBTQ identity) is a grave affront to your innate human dignity.

I think @amandamarcotte.bsky.social is really onto something here and that it's related to something @polphilpod.bsky.social has said in a few places; what collapsed was not liberalism, which in some ways is more strongly felt and committed to by more people than ever, but conservatism

the other thing is that this is a totally incoherent and arbitrary standard for deciding who has rights and who doesn't. you could say the same, for instance, of alito's vision of inviolate "religious liberty" or expansive gun rights.
