American conservatives branding themselves as "pro freedom" is insane.

They demand conformity to their "traditional" (bigoted & outdated) social values, they fight to protect state enforcers from accountability for violating people's rights, & they oppose social safety nets. 🧵

We often get bogged down in hyper-individual and while I do very obviously believe there are fundamental differences between say a Mamdani and a Biden on the issue, for most of the political crop it is not about their individual outlook per se but about the structural mosaic surrounding the issue.
(friendly quote post)

I don't necessarily care about her specifically but it's instructive that the candidate attempting to tread the middle ground in the MI Senate primary is siding with the opinion of Abdul el-Sayed and not the opinion of Haley Stevens on this key issue.
Who gives a shit what Mallory McMorrow thinks?

Does anybody in the comments know how to fix this? bsky.app/profile/sint...
I have push notifications turned on for Zohran Mamdani. But while I get in-app notifications in the Bluesky notifs tab, actual push notifications are not sent to my phone's notifs bar. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is there a way to fix it? I've tried turning his notifs off and on again.

Dark Deity really picked up in the mid to late game! Excited to play the sequel! But for now I'll be moving on to Silksong.
I dropped it for now, I'll pick it up again later. Now I'm going through Dark Deity, an indie Fire Emblem style game. Its UI is very simple and cheap and its loading times are insane. It's a Game Maker game, and you can really tell. But the core gameplay and art is very good. Having fun with it!
I've been playing Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (Dominus Collection, Switch) and am not really enjoying myself. It seems to have a slow start, and I'm conflicted on whether or not I should continue. I usually see games through to the end after I start them, but I might drop this one.
Yeah, there isn't much reason to be enthusiastic about Platner at this point
Surest sign that there's worse to come is Ryan Grim signing up to defend him for free

Trump’s administration planned to fire 60 “celebratory” howitzer shells over California’s I-5 highway. The resulting shrapnel raining over the busy road is emblematic of Trump’s entire presidency. From Robert Kuttner:

The Shrapnel Presidency - The American Prospect
Trump’s minions planned a firing of 60 howitzer shells over a freeway in L.A. to harass Gov. Newsom and local residents. Instead, friendly fire hit VP Vance’s entourage.

Physical and political reconstruction ASAP.
If a D is ever elected POTUS, razing the Trump ballroom and restoring the White House to pre-Trump status is non-negotiable.

You have to tear down the physical manifestations of authoritarianism.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

"The CCP has high approval ratings! This justifies everything they do and makes China a democracy!" type shit
it’s been horrifying to see how many republicans believe in the “elected dictator” theory especially after they spent the entire Biden and Obama presidencies (who both won by larger margins) saying that they are dictators

they really think they’re so badass
There is no such thing as "actions done by a faith." Religions aren't monolithic. Each one has wide variety of different strains of thought. But you would deny that diversity and take the view, ironically, of a religious fundamentalist: "X religion is objectively defined by precise Y beliefs."

Mamdani is correct. No state has a right to ethnonationalism. I’d go further and say no state has an inherent right to exist but we can have that conversation later

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
