With their wins over Sweden and Senegal, the French national team has as many wins at MetLife Stadium in the World Cup as the New York Jets did in the 2025 NFL season

Looking at social media reactions to the SCOTUS and it really highlights how the GOP will get 99% of what they want, ignore that, and focus on demanding that 1% more. Dems will get 1% of what they want, immediately give up on the other 99%, and call the day a victory.

Academic historians have professional standards as social scientists while academic lawyers let the most ambitious children in their classes edit their papers, then call them done.

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

Jefferies and Schumer making it very clear that they are very much not up to the challenge, as they view the birthright citizenship ruling as a big win rather than an ominous warning of the future

Second apparently this was a close case for this Court. As it stands the decision is 6-3. In 1898 the Court’s decision protecting birthright citizenship, Won Kim Ark v. U.S., was 6-2. That means this SCOTUS is either on par w/or to the right of the 1898 Court - the same SCOTUS that decided Plessy!

we really need to make it clear that we will not vote for a democrat nominee that won't promise to unpack the court

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

Like the party needs to be pretty openly saying "we are going to destroy SCOTUS" if the court is not even bothering to hide their power level for the plain text of the 14th amendment.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

my policy priority is revenge

The Constitutional Crisis started in 2000. You've been living through it your entire adult life. The reason politics feels hopeless is by design — conservatives broke our democratic form of government to guarantee that the people cannot act against them and are continuing to break it.

I think this case is one where—paradoxically—the larger the reform, the more moderate it appears. A small change to just the Supreme Court is much more easily dismissed as a partisan power grab.

Cities are good and those of us who choose to live in them need to stop with our self-flagellation about how we aren't as "authentic" as the bigots we or our neighbors came to the city to escape from.

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

there are a lot of political lessons in the Trump era but one of the most obvious ones is that, for many people, throwing the bums out takes precedence over what you are throwing them out for

the core of the centrist freakout is “how could voters unsatisfied with the status quo choose such an extreme ideology” and man what those voters are choosing is a lot less extreme than what republican voters did in similar circumstances so idk what you guys expected

Puppet Show and Spinal Tap

for anyone paying any attention to the Dem caucus during the Biden administration, the left were much better team players than the “centrists” and I would expect that to continue in the next Dem administration

Grimly amusing Dem machines think they deserve some sort of entitlement hierarchy. My entire life, everything has been moving backwards, politically, democratically, bureaucratically, judicially. You are all failures. You are presumptively part of the rot that must be removed down to the root.

this court is monstrous, completely out of control, and must be packed until its power is broken that was true yesterday, that is true today, and that will be true tomorrow even if they do hand Trump a defeat on birthright citizenship

Expanding the Supreme Court is the moderate position.

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

those pesky critics are at it again

lol is this a bit?

Dem moderates' job right now is to check the far right. the years of left punching are over. your allies are democratic socialists, not republicans. it is a matter of political survival.

Chef's kiss, salute, tears, all of it

“the english historically struggle here in massachusetts” bless you john strong

”smooth move, Ex-Lax!”

The theory that “electable” means “work to appease right-wing bigots under the assumption that majorities agree with them, at least partially, and they prioritize it when voting” has been tried. It has failed. Try something else.

there are certain ideas that are really narrative features of American politics more than actual truths. conservatives are patriotic despite their claims that America has degenerated, they're tough on crime despite embracing many criminals, they're free marketeers despite anti-competitive practices

our mad senile pedophile king is at war with a shallow body of water on his front lawn and is losing

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Check out these two ridiculous headlines in which @nytimes.com grants agency to inanimate objects in order to avoid holding Trump directly accountable. Not, 'Trump's Reflecting Pool Makeover Appears To Be A Failure' and 'What Is Trump Hiding Behind The Kennedy Center Tarps?' Feckless absurdity

this but unironically

"i'm a committed catholic. also i waited six years to baptize my child"

i'm so heterodox (i support the ideology which has bought most american media and support the tyrant who has declared himself king)

this is just an expression of the conservative belief that it was outrageous for barack obama to try to win an election

this is one of the weirdest things conservative elites tell themselves and it's become load bearing to their entire anti anti Trump ideology

Did the New York Times just BOTH SIDES Ken Paxton's sweetheart deal for a child sex predator. Yes, yes it did.

All gas. No brakes.

I can’t find it now but someone once called JD Vance’s particular brand of scoldy, self-pitying, pseudo-intellectual solipsism “tumblr for the right” and it’s the smartest thing anyone has ever said about politics

why would you even bother reading movie reviews in the first place if you’re going to rage-poop when you disagree with them

me watching dredd (2012) the first time: this is awesome me watching dredd (2012) the second time: this is awesome me watching dredd (2012) the third time: this is awesome

he looks like a corpse and somehow sounds even worse

the biggest problems in dem politics are the people who simultaneously view others *within the coalition* through a friend/enemy paradigm but somehow view republicans in a cooperative, technocratic paradigm instead. "ted cruz is a friend across the aisle, mamdani is a threat to my power"
