We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

It's like clockwork: Democrats demonstrate they are cowards who will throw vulnerable people to the wolves in an attempt to court the votes of bigots. Shame on you if you point out that bigots don't vote for cowards or that we shouldn't vote for bigots or cowards.

A digital illustration of a possum playing a fretless banjo while sitting inside the open top of a large, greenish human cranium with his little pink feets poking out through the eye holes and his tail curling up from under the front teeth. Also the skull has little blue feathered wings on either side by which means all this appears to be hovering in the air. A long orange ribbon proceeds from near the possum’s mouth to curve behind his head and back around his body to loop around his tail a couple times. Written on the ribbon are the words ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

the moderate democratic position on Gaza is that if Israel’s opponents do not comport themselves perfectly, if they don’t dance flawlessly through the rhetorical minefields every day, then it’s dead children forever.

A digitally stimulated black and white relief print on a toned paper background. In a generally circular shape is the figure of a man in overalls tattered at the legs wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat swinging a scythe toward a stand of tall grass to the right while behind him the landscape is plowed furrows of hilly farmland under swirling sky. His head breaks above the circular composition and is mostly in silhouette against a blazing sun with wavy rays that fill the top of the frame. The circle shape on the bottom is defined by the scythe blade and on the left behind the blade as if following the swing is lettering reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

In the last month I have had two people in my neighborhood stop me outside to tell me they check my lawn signs for who to vote for. These are people I have never met before. I guess lawn signs work?

Large recurved 19th century-style decorative lettering of the word MAYBE. 
Under the ‘B’ is a shield shape with pointillist shading upon which fat script lettering reads IT WILL. 
The shield is surrounded with a top-arched ribbon to the left and a bottom-arched ribbon below which have one word in dimensional wood type-styled lettering reading HAPPEN TODAY. 
Below the arch of ‘happen’ is a small drawing of a skull and hourglass and there are leafy decorative flourishes in some of the negative spaces.

The "reactionary colorblindess" of the right-wing justices has reached its logical conclusion in finding that it is racist NOT to let Louisiana—and any other state for that matter—discriminate on the basis of race in voting. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
What we can expect in the aftermath of this ruling is for more Republican-controlled states to implement discriminatory maps and call them partisan so they can pass legal muster. In practical terms, this will likely mean fewer nonwhite representatives in Congress. Diminishing the power of minority voters may also allow the Republican Party to continue on its path from reactionary color-blindness to more overt racism, safe in the assumption that it will not have to answer to constituents who oppose such racism because they are its targets. There is little risk in attacking people who lack the power to remove you from office.

Back when I was drinking we called blacking out "time travelling," but "teleporting" works too. Either way you arrive with unexplained injuries and an urgent need to pee.

Norms and traditions are dead. Civility theater is dead. Dead dead dead. We may not like that, but it’s indisputable. Norms mean nothing except surrender if only one side honors them! And it makes YOUR voters rightly wonder: are you oblivious? Cowardly? Complicit? Some combination of all three?

No. We want our neighbors back home with us. We want ICE and Border Patrol destroyed. We want every detention center razed and the ground salted. We want everyone involved prosecuted and imprisoned. We want monuments built so our children will know the consequences of these sins.

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

really tired of seeing claims that our illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president is to "distract" us from the Epstein files. Trump and the men around him have wanted this for a long time. this is a bad thing in its own right, not some attempt to hide from accountability

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

I tried to duck a recession by going to law school (that's me in the 2008-2010 high point). It doesn't really work. Once out there are tons of new lawyers and still few jobs. I had yo take whatever I could get and as a result I'll never actually catch up to those before or after me.

In criminal cases in Michigan attorneys do not have the power to subpoena documents. My niche ethical stance is that an attorney who does that is issuing court orders illegally and should be sanctioned by the court and disciplined by the bar.

You can substitute "fascist" for British or English and "antif-ay" for IRA in Irish rebel songs and be 3/4ths of the way to a decent anti-ICE song. Still working on substitutes for Belfast and Derry.

ICE is a hostile occupying force that is a danger to everyone.
Alt text: A man in camouflage clothing and a face covering sits inside a gray Jeep, pointing a weapon out of the open driver-side window. The gun is aimed directly at the camera. The man wears gloves and a dark cap, and his eyes are visible above the mask. The vehicle’s door and side mirror are wet with raindrops.

Took a quick read through press releases for the last two years, I think the only other individuals Gov. Whitmer has deemed worthy of multiple day flag lowering are Pope Francis and Queen Elizabeth. Mass shootings get multiple days. Military, fire, and police killed on duty get 1.

Increasingly of the mind that the "distraction" rhetoric comes from a deeply-rooted belief that what we're witnessing is merely a form of dictatorial cosplay. The problem which is apparently invisible for some reason is that even assuming this were true, laughing it off is unacceptable.
