And it's interesting that New Hampshire, which was rock-solid Republican 25 years ago, is now basically a blue state, as its "good fences make good neighbors" brand of conservatism has fallen out of favor in the GOP.
Yeah, actually, I'd posit that the yankee aversion to nosiness in any form is a large part of why the New England states were among the first to enshrine protections for queer people into law.
This. There simply is no more room for austerity and "free market solutions." The choice is now between a fascist right and a progressive left. But blessedly it seems like most people prefer the latter, even if many are seduced by the former.
The level of domestic terrorism from the far right that we have shrugged at for the last hundred and fifty years is a moral disgrace, and it's brought us to this place where SCOTUS rules that Trump can basically do whatever he wants.

[thinking as I clean up my own kitchen] every wine mom is fighting an uphill battle against entropy in the form of her loved ones every single day. They are not the type to give up when things get tough or tedious
Between this fucking idiot, and Amy Chua looking at JD Vance and deciding to make him her special lil' guy, to granting Stewart fucking Rhodes a JD, I'm starting to think that Yale Law School might actually not deserve its impeccable reputation.
Just reread the op-ed and it's genuinely hard to imagine a worse take - smug, condescending and flatly fucking wrong. Confidently talking about how Kavanaugh is a real scholar, not a cherrypicker like Scalia. If you were trying to write a parody of academic autofellatio, you couldn't do much better.
