"It's nothing new, they're just putting it all together in a detailed road map as to how they'll use federal power to make it a reality at a time when they control the courts and are led by a major politician with a cult following who rejects any effort to limit his power" is not a comforting notion

I don't get it when people point out that Project 2025 is "nothing new." Yes, obviously, right-wingers have been fanatics for decades. They were blowing up abortion clinics and shooting doctors when I was a kid. But, as you may have noticed, their political vision has kind of been coming together.

Here’s a message: the next four years sets the landscape for the rest of the century for America. Democracy, a livable climate, & justice for all is a path we can choose. Because of the hard work and accomplishments of the 1st term, a better future for all is within sight. Let’s go get it, together.

Which is obviously not future-oriented! But it's a kind of alternate reality future. I do think whatever happens with this period and whether it's Biden or someone else, a vision of what's over the horizon is pretty important and has been a bit absent in this campaign.

"They're just fearmongering about Project 2025," brought to you by the people behind "They're just fearmongering about a coup" and "they're just fearmongering about abortion bans"

Happy birthday, USA! But, also, you in trouble, girl.

I would like to know what people’s plan of action is for if their demands aren’t met, and whether they’ll commit to not trying to blow everything up out of a sour grapes feeling.

The thing about Joe Biden being an elderly man with a poor memory is that his likely opponent is an elderly man with a poor memory who has been indicted for 91 felonies and found liable for rape

Couldn’t be that the normie libs who’ve been saying for a month and a half that this was exactly the administration’s mindset were right, could it?

There is a large graveyard filled with my enemies. I do not wish to add to it, but will given no choice. Those who pick fights with me do so at their own peril, but maybe this is their lucky day.

Ohio enshrined abortion rights and legalized marijuana. Virginia Democrats kept the VA Senate, stopping the GOP from outlawing abortion. Kentucky reelected a Democrat as Governor. And the GOP house majority shrunk to four (or three?). Good job, kids!

Is there Captain Janeway hair discourse? I’m rewatching Voyager and I don’t know if I approve of the haircut in S2E7.

Is Twitter down?

Someone knocked these books off the shelf. Was it Mack (upper right), Logan, or someone else? Maybe @darthbluesky.bsky.social can tell.

I took a bunch of random photos this weekend. Gotta love this place. #bayarea #sanfrancisco #alameda

The fact that we on the left collectively react to any mention of “free speech” like it is, by definition, a dogwhistle for racism and transphobia shows how much we have allowed the right to define and pervert the terms and tone of a conversation about fundamental rights.

Christ on a cracker. Having a socia media space free from actual fascists and brain-dead Trumpers shouldn’t mean shitting on everyone you disagree with.

Holy shit. I found this superhero ttrpg at a local bookstore. Published in 1981, I think I played it in 1988.
