Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that
right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus

“enhanced interrogation” instead of torture walked so “detention centers” instead of concentration camps could run.

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

last thought, and i am still thinking through this, is that not only is there nothing wrong with this, it is something to *embrace*. a project of transformation is one way to build a political party into something closer to a political movement.

one of the single most important bursts of legislative activity in the nation's history happened because the governing party did not hesitate to remove their opponents from congress itself when they had the opportunity. 🤷🏿‍♂️

one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus

i dont think enough ppl appreciate the humor in delaz's epic dignified zeon remnant fleet with their epic warrior's honor partnering with a fleet of annoying shithead bdsm pirates who could not give less of a fuck that they're here

people post shit like this and then wonder why guys don't ever be open with their feelings.

impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community

This is eugenics.

I am one of the people they want to "clean up." I have long-term health issues that cause me to need expensive medications and occasionally procedures to maintain a baseline.

I am disabled, and don't "work" in a way they recognize.

RFK Jr wants me dead.

yeah, that’s right, albeit with caveat that i think x is worse than 4chan. you take the atmosphere of a particularly nasty 4chan subboard and then scale it up to a website where heads of state and ceos of leading corps all post

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

who raises the cattle that you cook? who grows & harvests the vegetables that you prepare as a side? who transports it to the stores that you buy it at? who maintains the pipes that fill your glasses with clean drinking water? and who cleans the water?

when's the last time you truly fed yourself?

It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”

The real failure to look in the mirror is academics falling back on comfortable “we’re partly responsible because we enforced left wing orthodoxy“ thinking rather than the less comfortable truth that Trump/MAGA are bad faith actors who will only be satisfied with resegregated MAGA academies

Trump is on TV now talking about perhaps resuming the bombing of Iran.

Almost two months since he started the war.

And the position of GOP members of Congress is that the people's representatives in Congress should have no say on this. They really do think Trump should have the power of a king.

i really think more than anything beyond my likes or dislikes the exciting thing about the srw expac dlc list is it's a show of the srw team putting forward they're ready to get back to doing just fucking whatever which feels like it's been missing from srw roster philosophy for a decade and a half

I feel like this graphic annoys me more each time it's posted. The Y-axis scale is different for each country, only two (the US and Germany) actually show similar stories, and the inflection point in all three western countries appears to actually be the GFC, not 2016
