@cavatica.bsky.social I feel like you'd probably remember this best, but wasn't it us annoying leftists that were talking about Project 2025 first?
Aren't we typically the ones actually paying attention to what these right wing thinktanks are churning out, like PNAC during the Bush years?
Listen here, Jack. I'm dead. And that's no malarkey, I died two years ago. This here's a meat suit. Teriyaki. It's astonishing. Boys in DARPA made it.
Ain't no one really up here, but that's the American Dream, isn't it? That's what we work for. That's why Kamala is wine drunk from dawn to dusk.
a probably unpopular opinion is that the escalating culture of leveraging bullying and victim-blaming to coerce people into voting for democrats has actually been an acceleration mechanism for fascist creep, and bears significant blame for where we are today.
I think it's hilarious that liberals mock direct action and say dumb shit like, "Why aren't you firebombing a Walmart?" when they would be the very first to decry that kind of activity if it happened and label it as "terrorism." They couldn't even tolerate peaceful campus protests against genocide.
Heritage Foundation president celebrates Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" www.mediamatters.org/project-2025...
The Roberts Court (led by Roberts) gutted the Voting Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act!
I've spent a decade flabbergasted that we aren't all yelling about this *every day.* It's the damn Voting Rights Act!
Between today, Chevron, the reversal of Roe, and Citizens United, I feel like it would be pretty tough to name a more destructive Supreme Court than John Roberts'
March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.
There wouldn't even be a crisis right now if Biden had stuck to his original indication of only serving one term.
Imagine if we'd been able to have real primaries about this.
Now it's 4 months from election day and we're trying to convince a stubborn old man that they're wrong.
Total self own.
They're so worried about how we'd handle UFO disclosure but weekly tell us things like "everyone's already permanently poisoned, also there's Legos in your dick" and expect us to go right back to work
Watching #LowerDecks today to feel better and it must be said it really does have the best theme music of all modern Trek shows.
And it really is an excellent cheer-me-up show
The far right ride really highlights what a dangerous bubble social media is, because I honestly thought a lot of the world was finally leaning leftward
At the moment, it is hard to fear monger about the potentional of a second Trump term while the current Supreme Court seems bent on beating him to the fascism finish line while under a seemingly completely helpless Democratic administration that bends over backwards to aid a genocide
one element of Grants Pass is that it’s not just about whether you can enforce anti-camping laws against the homeless. it’s about whether you can enforce those laws **even when you haven’t provided adequate shelter beds**
First decision is Grants Pass. Gorsuch has the 6-3 opinion finding that the Eighth Amendment does not bar "generally applicable" laws banning public camping. Sotomayor writes the dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...
"Actually if you got into the transcript and pick out some of the words that he managed to get out you can see the point he was trying to..."
Shut up. Shut up. You are embarrassing. My god.
I need Democrats to understand that thinking Biden is the ONLY person who could possibly defeat *Donald Trump* is such an INSANE thing to believe
It is an absolutely DELUSIONAL position to have and it is more defeatist than anything else they could believe
The five stages of Online Liberalism
1) We must elect (D) to stop the Bad Things
2) We need more time to stop the Bad Things
3) We'll stop the Bad Things right after the midterms
4) The Bad Things would have stopped if not for The Left
5) The Bad Things are Good, Actually
repeat ad infinitum
The thing about this debate is that Trump has nothing to lose. He loves being on camera, and it's impossible for him to lose supporters.
Biden has EVERYTHING to lose, because every gaffe, slip of the tongue, or god forbid a lapse of memory will stick to him like glue, and the press will run with it
When the left gets angry at genuine injustice, the state must fight them until its dying breath
When the right is even slightly annoyed about made up things, it's reason to capitulate to all of their demands and more, because the ruling classes usually planted the lies in the first place
