This is what the moderates got us.

Real.

All girls are going to be harassed and pedo/predator coaches are going to demand to “see for themselves”. “Wrong” haircut, phenotype, etc. will be enough. And Black girls will get it the worst.

I think it’s far better for us that it was this close. Now no one can pretend this is a settled issue. The danger is very clear, and anyone who tries to claim the right will just give up is someone we don’t have to listen to.

Seeing this in STRONG evidence in Montana.

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.

“Tonight has shown that the son of a single mom who grew up working at McDonald's and filling out food stamp and Medicaid forms can go on to become an economist in the US Army Corps of Engineers, serve in the Colorado legislature, and now become the nominee for Congress”

I got really angry at him last year re the first CR thing: not so much for the vote itself as the bullshit where he said Senate was behind the House & next DAY underbussed them. Then that interview where he explained after Trump's gone he'll get his normal across the aisle buds back. Then book tour

So Texas’ new Bible curriculum specifically pairs a Biblical reading about G-d punishing the ancient Jews for sinning by letting them be conquered and destroying their entire society with readings about the Holocaust? That’s…a choice.

“Chapter three of the Book of Lamentations, reflects on the destruction of the First Temple and interprets it as divine punishment for the Israelites’ sins. Segal said he was puzzled by its inclusion. More concerning, he said, the text appears alongside Holocaust literature.”

Also a Big Yikes for reactionary centrist pundits (yes, that one in particular, but also others) with the bad habit of treating poll numbers as some sort of immutable assessment of values rather than messy metrics of temporary and easily moved attitudes of a generally mid-to-low info electorate.

“Every guy my age has a crippling gambling addiction and still lives with his mother at 35 thafuq they gonna offer me? I’ve been saving on a down payment for a house.”

here's my scotustake: you need a plan to both break this court specifically, and also a plan to arrive at a new and functional court system, *and also* to recognize that political contestation never ends but that's no excuse for doing nothing

You don't need a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. The problem isn't the Constitution, it's the Supreme Court. With a majority that had integrity, it's overturned outright. The current majority would just ignore any amendment, the way they've ignored the ones on voting rights.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SOMEONE GOT CITIZENSHIP THROUGH BEING BORN IN AMERICA AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY LIFE IS RUINED EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DESTROYED CIVILIZATION HAS FALLEN HELP HELP HELPPPPPPPPPPP

Honestly hilarious that there's either more, less, or the same amount of oil flowing and nobody really seems all that curious about which of those is actually true.

The Democrat position on American Institutions is that it's totally fiiiine if a bunch of white men and their lackeys have the power to dispense and withdraw the human rights of their inferiors, so long as they're polite about it.

Europe’s tilt-and-turn windows are better insulated, easier to clean, more ventilation-friendly, and altogether superior to the sash and casement windows we use in North America. Superior in all respects, that is — except one. heatmap.news/daily/europe...

I think several things can be true: - Depression can be debilitating - It is important to talk about - It's not a get-out-of-life free card - His constituents deserve representation - People affected are still part of society and, if impaired, need to make arrangements beyond disappearing

“Germany lost the World Cup because rap music and Black people”

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

It genuinely do not relish, as much as I would other assignments, doing stories on this because a) I’m not a media reporter and would prefer reporting out other leads, and b) I keep having to disclose that the coauthor was one of my groomsmen which feels icky even if it shouldn’t HOWEVER, per…

Let's take just one aspect of it: In 2003, AIDS had an average death rate of 26% across all ages worldwide, today its only 10%. In the US, its gone from a peak of 25.3% in 1994 to 1.7% in 2023.

gotta thank john roberts for articulating, in print, the exact most wrong possible constitutional interpretation. instead consider a sneak preview of my next essay

Can WWE people endorse candidates

Black people, as usual, leading the way.

Also everyone does realize that in exactly 937 days, the six conservative SCOTUS justices will miraculously realize Slaughter was wrongly decided and the president doesn't have that power, right? Right?

The thing about all the defenses of Israel you see in the US via a liberal perspective is that Israel's own leadership goes on television and Twitter every day and they very openly say what they want, which is incompatible with liberalism, or really anything vaguely related to the law.

have a piece coming up "towards an honest mass politics" that emphasizes how proportional representation is key not just to beating gerrymandering, but to institutionalizing factions and factional competitions in a healthy way

"everything has been getting worse my entire life" i just gotta say, as a tran, this is the opposite of true

the federal reserve straight up did not exist when the constitution was drafted, central banks and their relation to the government was a contentious political issue for more than a century after, and "federal reserve independence" as a concept isn't even an accepted norm until after volcker!

JUST IN: DOJ has lost for the 10th straight time in an effort to obtain states' voter rolls. This defeat is courtesty of Judge Joseph LaPlante, a George W. Bush appointee in New Hampshire. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Our independent federal regulatory agencies were created to protect the public from corporate harms. The only reason to end these protections is to give corporate America even higher profits by shifting the risks of harms to individual people. The shame of the John Roberts court.

there's a reason we asked @victorerikray.bsky.social to write a piece for the Reconstruction Papers specifically on how a future dem administration can roll back the trump-era resegregation www.liberalcurrents.com/the-pdf-of-t...

Hi I'm Local Observer and I'd like hot THICK men to win thank you very much!

Jesse Watters does NOT understand how rent stabilization works in New York City. The rent goes up on rent stabilized apartments every year or two years depending on the lease. Most buildings with rent stabilized apartments are privately owned. No one gets any government money.

mamdani’s plowing thru these goals so quickly, he’ll soon have no holes left to fill 🕳️

I‘m sorry, but this reads like somebody with an addiction that genuinely needs help. If a friend told me they were talking and acting like this I’d be really worried!

Hot take: lecturing people about their a/c use and commercial airplane flights is a psyop to make us feel climate doom instead of climate rage

There are new rumors and videos, showing the result of a pogrom of Fulanis and Tuaregs in the capital of Bamako, Mali. It has occured in recent years a few times, but now it's a monthly occurance. If the new video is verified, they were burnt and then...eaten on the streets.
