i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.

Charlie Kirk's murder proves (again!) a simple truth: The 1st Amendment and the 2nd are incompatible. You can't have freedom of assembly and speech if every public space & statement, right or left, is at risk of violent disruption. Guns kill freedom. Time to prioritize 1A over 2A, once and for all.

My hot take for the day: I basically believe that the real, unspoken goal of the conservative movement is the fracture and ultimate destruction of the United States. Bc democracy will never not be a threat to the entrenched wealth and power the movement was astroturfed into existence to protect.

Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he's causing families. We'll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

Congrats to the nominal opposition for being to the right of *Bill Kristol* on Trump assualting DC

I want to congratulate leading Democrats' for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a "stunt" or a "distraction."
It's a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.

When you say "we should be willing to compromise on the safety of trans people and their ability to participate in society," this is the mission you have aligned yourself with. These are your allies and bedfellows. Is this who you want to be? I urge you, before it's too late, look in this mirror.

Same goes for all the "[insert personality with atrocious opinions/actions but did some stuff] is being targeted by the woke mob" horse shit. It really isn't at all cool to be a bigoted asshole, especially when you use your money, power, and influence to hurt people.

In ordering Bondi to investigate, he is innovating on, and getting more direct about, his campaign of targeting his enemies. And by targeting ActBlue, Trump is attacking the infrastructure of the Democratic Party and its ability to effectively compete in elections:

It’s fitting that such a dystopian situation would be brought about by a movement taken with nostalgic fantasies about the joys of beef tallow & trad wives. Back in that imagined, bucolic past with little state or institutional capacity, if your kid got cancer they just died. This is now our future.
