they act like people don't know what a concern troll is

even a number of republican voters support this

utilitarianism is a product of state capitalism, not communism

if you run him in 2028, he will lose. don't say I didn't warn you

replace newsom with harris and tell me how that turned out in 2024

I wonder how many members of the mafia are also in prison because trump was an informant?

also, dude wasn't even trans. like if I'm treated for strep throat and I am prescribed antibiotics but then we find out that it was actually influenza so I stop taking antibiotics, we rightfully wouldn't say that I still have strep throat

failing to admit mistakes isn't going to prevent it from happening again

dropping science doesn't make you a scientist. cuba developed a vaccine for cancer like a decade ago. what have you done?

that's the point isn't it? there's a growing number of catholics and a dwindling number of protestants in this country

the strategy was laid out in their plan. one of the key parts of the project was to essentially replace as many non-elected bureaucrats with loyal conservatives who are willing to advance their agenda. the only way to do this is to fire as many workers as possible and hire loyal replacements

lawyer who claims to be a proud fascist who defends the first amendment. never bothered to read the establishment clause. modern day albert einstein

jesscataylr @jessicat.bsky.social · Aug 27

if you were actually proud about your beliefs, you wouldn't be upset when people call you out

jesscataylr @jessicat.bsky.social · Aug 27

the ironic thing is that project 2025 didn't depend on trump taking office. he's just the guy who won the election. we'd likely be facing the same with desantis, vance, or even nikki haley

it makes more sense when you realize their reasons are excuses

most poor people can't afford to keep a lawyer on retainer

jesscataylr @jessicat.bsky.social · Jul 2

thats not to say money and power has nothing to do with it. poor people often can't afford council and public defenders aren't typically experienced

but more importantly, people with money consult attorneys before they're arrested so they already know what to do (and what not to do) when it happens

jesscataylr @jessicat.bsky.social · Jul 2

people really underestimate their right to remain silent. there's a common myth that if you invoke your 5th amendment right to silence and your 4th amendment right to council, that it will make you look guilty

there's a reason people plea guilty or not-guilty instead of guilty or innocent

we should also bring back lynching of rapists because obviously vigilantism is never used as an excuse to murder marginalized groups under the guise of "justice"

it's a well known fact that whites were just as likely as Black people to get lynched in the south. everyone knows this

jesscataylr @jessicat.bsky.social · Jul 2

obviously it was self defense

oops! why was cnn silent about this story?
