It's nuts that Democrats are still acting so cowed about immigration when public opinion on it seems quite malleable and there's blowback now to right wing anti-immigrant politics in practice. You can win on this issue, you barely even have to try

Also, along with institutional reform, the platform must be “We are resetting everything to January 20, 2025 by repealing every illegal Trump EO on Day 1, & many senior Trump government & DOGE criminals are going to jail for the rest of their lives.”
🇺🇸 trifectas get shot at doing something

Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

The platform must be institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said
If we want to actually be a representative democracy, then the platform needs to be institutional reform. All the Popularism and all the policies follow from that, not the other way around.

Tim Robinson and the other Chair Company creators are experts at evoking one of the constant fears of modern life: that some weirdo will come up to you and try to involve you in their whole thing

He can repeal the Constitution by memo and leave the citizenship of 250 million people subject to the discretion of Stephen Miller, without any involvement of Congress.

That is what would make this court illegitimate, and an enemy of all mankind.

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I have been prompted to remember once more that I saw Tom Hooper's CATS and Star Wars Episode 9 on the same night and I had a thousand times more fun at CATS and that bums me out so fucking much

As always, note that these people are describing a world they want to watch. They think real life is a feed to scroll through, and they want some better content. Never once occurs to them that they might inhabit the world they demand we live in for their entertainment.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

christmas has gotten so far from its religious roots, wish we could celebrate our holidays like medieval christians (cross-dressing, being told by the bishop to stop cross-dressing, resolutely refusing to stop cross-dressing, threatening the bishop in defense of cross-dressing)

part of it is that they hate women, part of it is that they hate her specifically because they think she should want to fuck them, part of it is that all this shit is for the benefit of like 10K people on twitter who've all been legally prohibited from having unsupervised time with their children
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.

The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

The most demoralizing thing isn’t even necessarily the open corruption, it’s that legislators can be bribed so cheaply and will then be loyal to the donor over any popular pressure.

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

people died for birthright citizenship. i get that it’s more fun to be a pundit when your team has the white house and you get to brag to friends about visiting the oval office; but what i’m wondering is if maybe that’s actually not a good reason to throw away something we fought a civil war to win?
