And unfortunately it is only a matter of time until the public does what it always does and starts blaming the current government for their problems caused by the last government.

very hard to figure out what this use of DEI could mean other than the n word

Subtle. Very subtle.

I wish I had a D rep who I could call, but it is unlikely that a D will ever be in this district in my lifetime. Is it even worth calling Greg Pence?

Which senators are you speaking to who wouldn't allow that?

Everyone says x and y are important! But we have to get people to stop voting R and give us D's...especially ones unlike Sinema and Manchin!

We can all say what needs to happen, but we should all also understand how our system of government works.

I have never been able to touch my toes in my life and that includes times when I had a "normal" BMI.

It is remarkable to me that when they ever deign to name a specific complaint that requires them to overthrow American society (ie, a “revolution”) it’s always something like faculty senates or website DEI statements or calorie counts on menus.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Makes you think! Way fewer stories about email servers this year despite Trump having far worse lapses of email open records protocol and stealing classified docs! Wonder why it stopped mattering all of a sudden! bsky.app/profile/dodg...

There will be a convention and Dean Phillips was in the primary.

Bernie, AOC, and anyone else was allowed and able to run and chose not to.

Do I really have to wash my bedding weekly or can it be every two weeks?

not much to say that i haven't already said, but this week's opinions really drive home that we're in crisis. chevron's out, bribery is in, coups are good, air pollution can't be regulated because of freedom or something.

They think they're gods

Roberts, overruling Chevron with incredible and unearned hubris: "Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do."

The thing about authoritarian fucking demagogues is that they can just make shit up and promise “it’d all be different with me in charge.” And it’s very easy to make that sound appealing.

Thanks Obama

Ehh not saying this shit at all would be best, but if he's gonna say it, I'd rather he say it about me than poor brown people.

Can we go one damn presidential election without everyone talking about the Kennedy Nixon debate when debate time rolls around?

It would be super cool if the tech media would simply stop credulously repeating every value-juicing statement C-Suites make like they’re the in-house PR department. The only difference between these hollow promises and the guy crying, “The end is near!” on the street corner is funding.

If the Founders had wanted this country to be a theocracy, seems like they probably would've mentioned it in the actual Constitution, right? Or if they spaced on it, maybe in the Bill of Rights a few years later? Oh, but you found a quote from one of them in a private letter? Cool. Cool cool cool.
