This was always true. This has always been true for every marginalized community in every single only these “advanced democracies.” Welcome to the world your privilege has shielded you from. This is life outside the cave.

How do we adjust to a world where major democracies have long-term viable fascist parties? It feels like we'll just be having existential election after existential election, and we have to win every time whereas they only have to win once.

The fact they're simultaneously running don't vote campaigns and trying to undermine the dem candidate is proof that the moneybags who own these publications are united in realizing their robber baron days are drawing to a close under a guy who is the most pro labour president of the 21st century

Must be nice to live in a functioning democracy

What happens to societies when all legitimate, peaceful means of political accountability are rendered impotent?

This Originalist™ court has effectively immunized both the president and all federal law enforcement officers from any meaningful accountability. Because if there are two things the Founders cherished, it's the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity.

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

President Biden and Vice President Harris will be formally renominated in August and then reelected in November, and when that happens, you can thank every organizer and volunteer across the country for keeping the faith through all this bullshit.

The very religious folks on the Supreme Court decided that it’s okay to put homeless people in jail for the crime of being homeless……was punishing the poor one of the beatitudes?

Zoe Leonard said it so well. This is the end game, but this is not today. We CAN get there but we CANNOT take our ball and stay home until it does.

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

No Bernie bros. This is not your time.

The "Democracy is Mob Rule" crowd is saying this because they are in a numerical minority, and their rights absolutely should be protected. The irony is that the people they support and have put in power are systematically taking those rights away.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

There’s a debate strategy often used by pseudoscience peddlers known as the Gish Gallop. The debater throws out a barrage of false claims, one after another, far too many for the opponent to ever actually refute them all. The opponent stalls as he tries to figure out what to respond to first.

You're not "gross" for what they did to you. You're not "stupid" for not knowing how to understand it or what to think about it. You're not "weak" for having reactions to it, then or now. And you're not "complicit" for not having told anyone about it.

Every “person” you see in this is a job an actor didn’t get. Every “object” you see cost prop masters work. Every “set” you see is a place no crew was paid to work. The machine that made it was trained with stolen images. Fuck this video. Fuck the ghouls who made it. And fuck Toys-R-Us forever.
