Yup. Lots of people pointing out obviously this would be weaponized against LGBTQ folks. But also it just fundamentally bristles with a hostility towards privacy and freedom that runs through the entire project.

And, their definition of "porn" includes acknowledging the existence of trans people.

as a politics knower I think the democrats should simply do the thing that makes it easiest to win, but also aligns with both all my prior posts and all my most panicked recent posts. this is very simple and obvious.

kind of amazed at how confident people are at predicting which candidates and what political moves will win after the past decade. humans are resilient

After reading @chrislhayes.bsky.social 2004 essay, had thought that engaged voters are like people making a purchasing decision on features and warranty (issues). Low engagement voters are like folks making a purchasing decision largely on brand reputation (character). chrishayes.org/articles/dec...

Decision Makers · Chris Hayeschrishayes.org For those who follow politics, there are few things more mysterious, more inscrutable, more maddening than the mind of the undecided voter. In this year's election, when the choice was so stark and the differences between the candidates were so obvious, how could any halfway intelligent human remain undecided for long? "These people," Jonah Goldberg once wrote of undecided voters, on a rare occasion when he probably spoke for the entire political class, "can't make up their minds, in all likelihood, because either they don't care or they don't know anything."

I've been thinking about this post from the Claremont Institute, a Trumpist think tank, ever since the SCOTUS immunity ruling. Wonder what "unpleasant things" the Trumpists have in mind. open.substack.com/pub/joelmmat...

if there's anything that gives me a slight scrap of hope it's that these guys are *way* too confident. constantly blurting out hideously unpopular shit is not the sensible thing to do before a probable coin flip election

This is your enemy. His pinned post is unhinged racist trash, but he is serious about the agenda

this is a brilliant point that I was struggling to articulate.

Speaking as a semanticist, it's wild to me that they are phrasing it in terms of whether an *act* is characterized as "official", when what they seem to actually be talking about is whether there exists a *description* of the act that can be characterized as "official".

NOW OUT: emergency episode on the emergency that is the Court’s immunity ruling. (tl;dr- SCOTUS goes full Dick Nixon, “if [Republican] Presidents do it, then it’s not illegal.” crooked.com/podcast/scot...

The more you read yesterday’s immunity decision, the more appalling it gets. My take: www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/o...

Opinion | The Supreme Court Creates a Lawless Presidencywww.nytimes.com It is increasingly clear that this court sees itself as something other than a participant in our democratic system.

Litearlly the only pleasant surprise in the entire last week of political news is Hawk Tuah girl being like "yeah no way I'd vote for Trump."

I have never been more convinced that Biden needs to do a sit down interview with Jiminy Glick

And the SCANDAL of Bill Clinton talking to Loretta Lynch !!!!

The robust conservative media infrastructure has retconned 2016: The scandal accusations against Trump were, in retrospect, attempts to steal the election of the legitimate president. The candidate who kept getting whacked by the FBI and hackers? Yeah she tried to rig it

SCOTUS' ruling on social media was a bigger deal than it first seemed. Content moderation and ranking algorithms are now First Amendment-protected speech, and that has big implications for the internet. My newsletter today: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A post-debate, New Hampshire poll by St. Anselm: wmur.com/article/poll... Trump up 44% to 42% over Biden. (Biden led by 10% in their last poll, in December.) 54% of those who are aware of the debate say Trump won; 6% say Biden won.

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.

It's not the worst of it, but what I may be actually angriest about (right now) is Roberts' smarmy smugness and dismissiveness in the final two paragraphs of section IV and the whole of section V. "Fear mongering," "extreme hypotheticals," "our perspective must be more farsighted," and this.
