It's our constitutional rights to defend or surrender. Trump and his fascist goons were expecting surrender and found out.
Trump’s team expected easy wins in the streets. Instead, they’re losing in courts, getting chased out of cities, and facing organized pushback from ordinary citizens. @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social explain how public resistance is working.

I feel like the left unsaid part of the “NEW TECHNOLOGIES” thing is “why hasn’t the DoD made the Arsenal Birds real yet, are they stupid”
I don't even really understand what point they're trying to make. "Invest in new technologies"? Like what? What dimension are we supposedly ignoring? Which technologies can replace an aircraft carrier?

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

One single sentence in this paragraph has 12 commas in it, so forgive me if I'm not taking this writer's evaluation of Nuzzi's writing as an expert opinion.
Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

The way I see it the next President has three options

1) Court packing

2) John Roberts has made his decision, now let him enforce it

3) Damn, Daniel, back at it again with the managed decline
The Supreme Court just set aside a 2nd Circuit decision upholding New York's requirement that all school students, public and private, obtain certain vaccinations, without any religious exemptions. It orders the 2nd Circuit to reconsider the ruling in light of SCOTUS' LGBTQ school books decision.

The day Roberts and his ilk are picking strawberries, cleaning meatpacking plants, breaking rocks, or doing literally any of the myriad productive things they’ve repeatedly declared beneath them is the day the US starts being a real country instead of a miserable little pile of aggrieved dipshits.

After all, it was Miller who pioneered the "any resistance to the Trump regime is an attempt to overturn the 2024 election" line and has been the one most consistent about employing it
I think Miller is basically the one person in the administration who thinks that all elections are over forever and he's in charge, so it makes a certain amount of sense he's acting like this.
That Miller reportedly wants Noem gone because she's not being aggressive enough really shows how high on their own supply these guys are. What they're doing is already historically unpopular, and they want to do it even harder.

I think overturning vaccine mandates would be a good point to start ignoring SCOTUS ngl.

I think it’s really funny how the two types of Sanders 2016 supporter shook out to be

1) sewer socialist who wants to tax the rich for wonkish public works projects

2) General Secretary of the Greater Brooklyn Committee to Resurrect Uday Hussein And Give Him Power Armor (Keith Raniere Tendency)

I think one of the biggest mistakes we (the west) made was not spinning up Ukraine on tacair sooner.

After nearly 4 years of war, they would absolutely have a very capable conventional air capability if we devoted the energy early on.

My lesson learned: go big early in defense of Democracy.

It leads directly in why the 2023 counteroffensive was doomed from the start. The idea that you could execute airland battle without the air part was level of arrogance and delusion that American military and national security officials seemed to not have reconciled with yet

They’ve turned both these things into nothing but crude idols devoid of content or meaning outside an empty symbol to be slathered onto an attempt to gain power, inflict cruelty, or both. They don’t believe the Bible or the Constitution has any genuine content because they themselves are empty.

Bipartisanship and norms were always an excuse not to make hard governing decisions and it selected for a class of politicians who are afraid of power, unsure of what they’re looking at when faced with genuine irreconcilable polarization and too stupid to realize the old rules no longer apply.
