i think more often than i should about how every person that staffs this administration is just an extraordinarily unpleasant piece of shit, above and beyond a standard republican admin and above and beyond even the first trump admin

Hey, this is that “study” that was previously cancelled after outcry at how monstrously unethical it was. It’s sentencing the poorest kids on earth to die of completely preventable liver cancer for white antivaxxers’ curiosity. How a medical doctor could co-sign this atrocity is beyond me.

a fun side effect of this hysterical midterms media environment is that if the dems win the house, split the senate, but don't take texas, the expectations game will make that a win for...donald trump and the republicans

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

the thing about impeaching Vought is that it will ruin his life. pull his kids and wife in for sixteen hour depositions. refer them all for perjury. scream in his face. when you're done, if it didn't work, do it again.

the plainly stated thesis of this article is that democratic voters disproportionate want and would benefit from a policy proposed by the party, and therefore they should not pursue that policy. apart from being tautological this is bizarre.

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

Republicans know that too, but they also know this is something they can make Dems flinch and equivocate about, which makes them look overall weak and indecisive. They did it with immigration last cycle, they did it with gay marriage 20 years ago. The only way to win is to tell them to eat shit

The raw visceral hatred some men have for women, at least women who step out of line, is shocking. I know it sounds like some sorta "one of the good ones" ploy but I am genuinely taken aback when I see it because I think: I had a fairly normal socialisation as a man in the west, how did I miss this?

Something I've always thought about tradwife stuff is that the only possible men who could have the situation and make it work and not have it be hideously screwed up are basically the men who absolutely do not want it at all and think that it's horribly backwards.

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.

Sometimes certain people in these spaces can just be bad people and they use liberation coded language to gain personal power over other people for petty reasons. There's absolutely no understanding of the bigger picture. Communities have to be better at separating out toxic people.

It's hard to express this without sounding kind of insane but this really is an ideology that views sexual assault and abuse as praxis because it's part of this broader ethos that's entirely about plunder and domination and just how funny it is when someone tells you you can't do them

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

There is an old man who shuffles around the Oval Office but he doesn't understand what's happening & he's not making meaningful decisions. He has disarmed himself of every meaningful lever with which to enforce a decision. This happened in 2020, too, but we have fewer alternatives & longer to wait.

a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.
