A house not far from my parents place sold even after one person was killed in it and another owner committed suicide there.

Must be the most anti-supernatural homebuyers ever.

Yeah we won’t persuade them all or even most, but some will wake up and join humanity.

Anecdotal, but I have a maga family member in his 80s who used to wear the red cap and now he doesn’t because he said trump is an idiot.

This has been a development just in the past couple months.

People are starting to connect the dots.

For the remarkable number of folks in excellent law firms, corporate suites, non-legal academia who still aren't really sure "where we are" country-wise, I'm just not sure how much clearer he can be. Countries in which opponents of the government can "never obtain power" are not democracies.

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

I had a friend years ago who got food poisoning from a meatball sub and that always struck me as just slightly less worse than being set on fire.

That guy looks so much like the parody pics of Vance that people make. Uncanny.

Yeah guys like him become useless without the filibuster. Just get 52 seats and tell him to fuck himself.

🧑‍🌾 @leftwingbarner.bsky.social · 20h

We’ve all wanted the filibuster eliminated for forever and if they are the ones to do it, it’s just perfect.

🧑‍🌾 @leftwingbarner.bsky.social · 20h

Lordy, if the R’s kill the filibuster this will be the best week in politics in quite a while.

They will obviously greatly damage our country, but it’ll be straight party line stuff and they’ll own all of it.

Chief Justice Roberts notes (correctly) that IEEPA had "never been used to justify tariffs," following up with a question of the major questions doctrine.

"It does seem like that's major authority and the basis for the claim, seems to be a misfit."

I am from Alabama. Nobody can tell me shit about it.

The Montgomery comment was alluding to the first cap of the confederacy thing and the seat of power for what we call The Big Mules.

Black and brown police and gestapo must quit and unite with their brothers and sisters. Then we can work on the white ones which will be a generational
project.

Join or die, America.

I guess we’ve learned that if affordability becomes the Dem’s turf, the gop is fucked in a free and fair election.

They have a corrupt dementia patient as their figurehead who is hell bent on destroying the economy, and nobody in the republican party will tell him no.

What a pickle.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate
