I think if you oppose war with Venezuela (correct) you should open with that. Illegal and unconstitutional can follow. But the cause is monstrous and legality could never justify it.

Whether it’s trans rights, or genocide funding, or all sorts of corrupt corporate laws, there’s only so many times you can fuck over your voters before you make yourselves our enemy. It’s madness to think you deserve unconditional support just for sometimes being a bit better than actual Nazis.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

the balance hasn't remained constant, but people have long wrongly seen the NYT as a liberal publication that feels the need to bend over backwards for conservatives to fight bias charges, when in fact it's a conservative publication aimed at convincing liberals. they're more open about that now

the sooner people internalize this about the dems, stop projecting their fantasies on the party, and start demanding more, the better off we’ll all be.
they spent 4 years studiously avoiding confrontations with the supreme court because they have no interest in court reform. they’re quiet about ICE because they do not want to a single thing about it when they have power. it’s a shitty reality to confront but it is the reality.

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

Not even a danger but a certainty given how liberals are OBSESSED with training... see cops.
Another danger lies in Dems championing a “trained ICE” as somehow better than what we have now.

There's been a strange thing with the rise of social media over the past couple of decades. Once individuals are "done" with a story, they seem to assume everyone else has moved on too. The fact is that YOU moving on from something has nothing to do with whether others are still focused on it.

Are some anti-trans people trans in denial? Maybe, but, like saying homophobes are all just secretly closested gay people, you are once again blaming a minority for their own oppression if you think this is standard.

The overwhelming majority of transphobes are cis people. Focus on them.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

in retrospect it was just great how milquetoast centrists decided the best way to react to the AWESOME police corruption and brutality exposed by the George Floyd protests was to go "actually, defund the police is a bad slogan, the Unserious Left needs to shut up" bsky.app/profile/mcle...
They've known they have little to no control over these forces since 2020 and all chose to ignore it during the Democratic administration that might have given them some cover to do something about it!

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.
Border Patrol agent talks about how he knows that the people he's arresting at this nutrition bar factory in NY are "literal street rats" who would "eat our kids"

Forum mods quickly learn who habitual line steppers are and the answer for them is almost always “no” & it’s fine to swiftly suspend and ban them for anything even questionably close to the line.

Wasting your time with semantics is entertainment to them so they should be summarily destroyed imo.

Two NATO allies sending warships to escort a Gaza aid flotilla is evidence that the US was never "working tirelessly" to stop anything Israel was doing. But the US would never do that, you say. Exactly. But it'd be trivially easy for any American President to have changed that. That's a choice.

the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable

it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.
