just granted emergency relief in *both* the California teachers case (putting back on hold, at least in this case, Californiaâs law barring teachers from outing transgender students to their parents) *and* the Malliotakis redistricting cases. The Democratic appointees dissented in both.

doing first ever strength build in Elden Ring and I gotta admit, the big bonk build is fun. also clearly superior to every other build I've tried, like right out of the gate? and seems to scale well? in any event, my strat is "be way over leveled and pump it all into strength" and that's been great

I don't think trading electoral wins and losses with fascists is good enough. I want representation that agrees with me and tries to eliminate the threat of fascism for the foreseeable future.

"our betters in the government should be in charge, not the terrible unwashed masses. the problem isn't that the republican base is repulsive, it's that *all* voters are repulsive, and cannot be trusted" this is where dem leadership is at, and this is where their dead end defenders end up too

Yeah, I agree. I didn't mean to suggest to the contrary. My point was that originalism will reliably generate these bad-faith actors, so the problem goes deeper than one actor's bad faith. I said that more clearly down-thread.

eh, i mean the final sentence here is true but imo inapposite. respectfully, the problem here isnât the wurman is playing historian in good faith but doing it badly, the problem is heâs acting in bad faith to produce regime-friendly propaganda. originalism is just a tool for that, not the motivator

the only thing I find remotely interesting about platner, who I otherwise find odious, is nothing to do with the man himself, but rather the conditions that have allowed him to remain competitive and even a favorite to win the dem nomination despite being odious.

people are putting forward explanations. i think most of them make sense. but they all in some sense involve the press allowing trump and his most dedicated supporters to decide whether a story about their unpopularity is legitimate. in a democratic society, the leader is not the assignment editor

apparently this needs to be stated explicitly: this same sentiment applies to elected/wannabe elected dems too. I was done with platner the day the story of his nazi tattoo broke and I think that was obvious from my response to that story, which included phrases like "extreme, disqualifying doubt"

I think Platner is actually a very talented political communicator and that this talent is tied to a dude who is either Nazi-adjacent or a stone cold dipshit with horrendous instincts - or both - is Not Great

one way to look strong is to have a principle or value that you stand by and fight for even when it doesn't poll well. this is basically what Beshear has argued with trans issues. but the current dem governing and electoral strategy is almost ontologically opposed to doing that

Todayâs pretty much the perfect day to support independent media, following, subscribing for free, becoming a paid subscriber. In a world where oligarchs are buying up the nationâs largest media outlets, itâs growing the reach of independent voices that will matter more than ever.
