The news from France and the UK are incredibly heartening, and we love being heartened.

my friend asked the other day how i planned to cover the growing fascism here and i said “i guess continue writing about it til i’m sent to prison? lol” it was a flip thing to say but it’s hard to imagine ever stopping. or fleeing. i’m feeling not quite patriotic, but protective of this country.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.
This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

Ansel Adams took very good photos of our national parks if you need a visually arresting element for your Facebook post

What on earth does “a Reservoir Dogs style show of force” even mean, this is beyond “you missed the point of the movie,” it’s “have you literally not seen the movie”
ah yes reservoir dogs, in which things famously go great for the characters

Y'all need to buy @swordsjew.bsky.social new book, which I am referencing here cause I don't think you fully understand the depth and breadth of the evangelical right's depraved, evil agenda and stranglehold on the country. Talia lays it all out. It is *essential* reading for all Americans.
Project 2025 is a creation of Evangelicals and it's the core mission of the evangelical right. It's what major evangelical organizations have been building towards for decades. It's not fringe. (I just fact checked a whole book a out this.)

We understand this correct? Project 2025 is not fringe on the right. It's just that everyone in the center and on the left doesn't pay attention to evangelicals cause y'all think they're funny and weird instead of wildly fucking dangerous. Project 2025 is dead serious and extremely popular.

Ugh I wrote about this back in January: “There’s something particularly cruel about a decision to willfully deprive millions of parents the comfort of knowing that their child won’t go to bed hungry.”
The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer
Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.
Opinion | These Republican governors chose to let some kids go hungry this summerwww.msnbc.com The GOP rejection of funding for the Summer EBT program will effect an estimated 8 million school-age children.

how many of them have also opined that the former guy, convicted of 34 felonies and facing countless other accusations of malfeasance, drop out?

it's worth noting, perhaps, that a lot of the "french elections defy predictions!" coverage is written by people/outlets who made the predictions
this is true of many things, not just politics, but often people in this position are better at writing/talking about a thing than they are actually understanding it. your halftime analysis is designed to keep the audience, not necessarily inform them

Fugazi is in every single respect a better band than Minor Threat, but this song is so great. It's not surprising that I like it so much because you can hear eg Dag Nasty and the Descendants and suchlike in there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LQ4...

You can use the Paprika app to grab NYT recipes from behind the firewall if you’re not logged in. Just saying.
This does it. When I get on my computer, I will cancel my subscription despite the good recipes.

This is a classic Trump trope, when something might drag him down "I never met the guy" in the face of photos of them bro hugging after a two hour meeting.

"Encouragingly, vaccination was observed to attenuate the neuropsychiatric effects of the infection."
Massive study out of Japan and Korea revealed that "COVID-19 survivors were at significantly heightened risk of developing cognitive deficits, insomnia, encephalitis, and at least four other neuropsychiatric sequelae.” www.news-medical.net/news/2024062...
