Average GOP policy outcome

Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

Sasse's signature legislation was the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," a nonsense bill designed to gratify a conservative conspiracy theory. He wasted his whole life on culture war lying.

Kind of a major problem that the leaders of the opposition party are basically in favor of the war with Iran and find it very convenient that they don't have to do any of the bag holding

People saying that student protestors were ineffective in protesting for Gaza really are missing that public sentiment has swung pretty fast and far on that, and they were absolutely a part of that.

just saw a group of high school girls come out of a bodega and one of them was eating cold spaghetti-os directly from the can wtf

Happy Leland Melvin day to all who celebrate. 💚

If you have power and position in the American government and ever said that Iran is our 'greatest adversary' (especially as Russia was attacking Ukraine) or that it was one of your highest priorities to make sure they never get a nuclear weapon no matter what, this is partly on you.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

nice argument. however i have already portrayed myself as the calm and collected dusty may and you as the seething foaming at the mouth dan hurley.

HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

Colorado will do everything except get rid of TABOR.

literally every text app other than bluesky does this and it's remarkably weird to me it hasn't translated into more orgs at least auto-crossposting their work here. it's not like there isn't CRM integration

Honestly, the great crisis of our society is the unwillingness of institutions to inflict consequences. Impeach the president, fire the sex pests, expel cheating students, excommunicate an unrepentant heretic, prosecute the war criminals. Believe in your institution enough to enforce its rules.

Update: The US Auto industry has retreated from EVs. That strategy will relegate them to the domestic market only or to extinction. The world is shifting to EVs. Global sales of fully internal combustion engine vehicles peaked in 2017. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 Paywalled link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

no

There is no purpose to any of this except to create TikToks they think look badass. It is an entirely vibes-based conflict, begun with no forethought, and they fired anyone who warned them about how badly it was about to go. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

no and we never have been

No real problem with ordinary folks asking about the 25th, but every time a congressman asks for the cabinet to remove a president you should read that as them abdicating their own duty to pursue impeachment through congress

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

👀 The US used MQ-9 Reaper drones to protect the missing F-15E crew member by "striking Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometres of the Airman."

Look at what happened to @planet.com. They were trying to democratize access to earth imagery but needed more money so started taking defense contracts and now have cut off access to all imagery of the illegal war happening in Iran.

Charlie Browns mom: Waaah wah wah wah waaah waaah waaah wah Charlie Brown: oh, you mean pigpen Charlie browns mom: Wah way. Waaaah wahwahwah wah wah waaah waaaah wahwhawah wah wah Charlie Brown: yeah I get that. It’s pretty bad over there but I don’t think they hit him

The Supreme Court's "conversion therapy" decision today is indefensible on its own terms. A ton of medical regulations restrict speech on the basis of "viewpoint." Nobody thinks they're unconstitutional. This court just subjects pro-LGBTQ protections to special hostility. slate.com/news-and-pol...

under an institutionalist lens: this is obviously the correct standard of scrutiny but the ban should nevertheless survive strict scrutiny given the clearly-established harms of what is essentially fraud under a critical legal theorist lens: lol, lmao

i'm glad i'm not a lawyer so i don't have to pretend banning child torture and speech are in any way related

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

i’m glad the Supreme Court said what we’ve all been thinking: lawyers should be in charge of medicine

Somehow the state can still force doctors to read anti-abortion agitprop though

The key to Jackson's dissent is that medical speech has been controlled for decades, this should be no different. I have read the full ruling but would agree at first impression

kagan and sotomayor are absolutely useless just like the democrats

Batteries = baseload

i have found the ultra chud

You shiver, and the city shivers with you.

democrats love doing nothing more than pandering to conservatives who hate them and will never vote for them

"Inviting Axon into our community sets a dangerous precedent, and our residents deserve to understand the full scope of what this partnership means. For the safety of our community and the protection of our civil liberties, the City Council must vote against a contract with Axon."
