“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.

For those who haven't read Project 2025, three of its main points are: 1. getting rid of many departments, firing employees, and having the potus appoint replacements, 2. taking away reproductive choices for women, including birth control (Catholic), 3. returning lgbtq to the closet.

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

The White Cat, fairy tales translated by Marie Catherine La Mothe, Countess d’Aulnoy in 1698. This version was published in 1847 but unfortunately the illustrator is identified only as “J.W.”

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

A grotesque and hideous distortion of the rule of law from the highest Court of the world’s most powerful democracy. This is a national and global catastrophe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

Something Has Gone Deeply Wrong at the Supreme Courtwww.theatlantic.com Jurists who preach fidelity to the Constitution are making decisions that flatly contradict our founding document’s text and ideals.

Yeah. I'm a cradle Catholic who recently decided to switch to Presbyterian. I've never had issues with my super-Catholic family (like, curing diseases with cloth soaked in the blood of a martyr Catholics) but man those converts are a frightening cult in some cases.

I was coworkers with a guy like this. Genuinely believes that the Bible says the only form of government we should be in is a theocratic dictatorship. Is also scared shitless that he might violate something the church fathers said not to do 2000 years ago. Catholic adult converts need to be admitted

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

One of my doctors was a Catholic convert, only went to Latin Mass, and subsequently died of Covid because it “wasn’t a big deal” and felt protected by the rosary in his lab coat pocket 🤦‍♀️

Also the byline willfully misleads people about who Walther is, he’s a failed pundit who got some sort of sinecure at a Catholic magazine from typical right wing elder abuse fundraising, but he’s a politic activist and has been his entire career

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

That part isn't the disinfo part. It's the chaos and rumormongering that is going to be used to get Mike fucking Johnson etc. into power once they push Kamala Harris out of the line of succession. It's also being used to distract everyone from mounting a coordinated response to the Supreme Court

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.
