So just how bad is this? I got a text from an appropriator friend saying "The Republic has fallen. Pack it in."

so the masking discourse went from 'i don't want to be told or gently encouraged to wear a mask in public' to openly clowning on people or politicians who choose, individually, to mask. it's telling, and it's incompatible with respecting bodily autonomy and individual freedom.

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

Any ruling by the Supreme Court that the Voting Rights Act violated the 10th and 14th amendment is without authority and needs to be ignored.

The plain language of the 14th amendment gives Congress the power to enforce the 14th amendment. The Supreme Court can't overrule the Constitution.

genuinely think all these people have a fetish. I think making Hitler jokes gives them little boners because "ooh I'm being so naughty."

"The president is illegitimate and should be removed from office" is the minimum pitch for anyone nominally opposing him

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article)
The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

this officially tops the "outage caused because the request to send an email was phrased too aggressively", a previous high water mark for LLM censoriousness breaking prod

We had an outage because Qwen 2.5 refused to do anything for a prompt that was modified to add a table of markets with Taiwan and China as separate countries. Wouldn’t do the SA task without a disclaimer that Taiwan is an integral part of China added. Not a sex thing but censorship is insidious

The punishment for not watching is having to do pull-ups. But don't worry: they're Hegseth pull-ups and anyone could do those.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.
The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else
Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Banning from schools seems like a super straightforward and valuable law.

I think folks should think about why such an obviously valuable law wasn't passed in the state of California and instead it was a law that was going to be vetoed or struck down in court. Almost like that was the intent?

Mandatory age verification to "protect children" is not to protect children. It is to deanonymize every adult speaker and consumer of speech online so the government can retaliate against speakers and speech they don't approve of. For instance: apnews.com/article/trum...

Because marginalized people are the ones whose speech is most often disapproved of, the burden and consequences of deanonymization laws falls extremely disproportionately on them, and always will. No one should ever support mandatory age verification, ever.

Gavin Newsom is a shitheel who should never be president, but the legislation he vetoed was unconstitutional, poorly written, both underinclusive and overexclusive, a severe privacy infringement for adults, and would have done nothing but cost California lots of money in court (to lose)
