every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Never been more convinced that House Alito was behind the Dobbs leak. Getting it out there locked in Kavanaugh's vote amid Roberts and Breyer efforts to flip him, then Alito argued that the dissenters needed to hurry up because of security threats. How incredibly convenient

This piece is incredibly important. Read the whole thing.

Centrists have all convinced themselves that "the left" sat out the election, and that by sneering at non-voters, they are taking on "the left." They also seem to think that votes from "the left" aren't worth trying to get. They don't seem to understand why this is really stupid.

No. I think you got it. I basically had the same thoughts about it. First one felt much tighter and the theme felt cleaner.

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

OOP

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

It’s so funny that they pubbed this the day before “john roberts invented the trump era shadow docket to make sure fossil fuel companies could keep killing you and make money doing it” bsky.app/profile/cris...

Every billionaire who's conspired to violate the law and the Constitution with this regime -- their businesses get nationalized, their assets seized. They lose everything. Literally the rings off their fingers and the watches off their wrists get taken away.

All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.

This is my policy towards literally every cabinet member, every ICE agent, and every war criminal serving under Trump.

Every single lackey who's carried out his illegal orders. Every single creep who's helped break the law by not properly releasing the Epstein files. Every minor functionary who's helped ICE and CPB violate the Constitution.

They lose every asset, every single dollar. Financially annihilated.

We should be learning from other countries...

Hotel convention center, interior. Photo of Zane, a magnificent avian fursuit character from "The Breath of the Wild" in the Legend of Zelda game franchise. He stands, wings spread (right wing tipped at a 45 degree upward, left wing angled downward). The suit is rust-red and white, with red and white banded wings, and features added accessories such as a belt, neck wrap, sash, and more.

Easier said than done. It's a prickly issue.

Shit like this is why women would prefer to be in the woods with a bear

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

All You Had to Do Was Pay Us Enough to Live The Kimberly-Clark warehouse fire isn’t just a crime story. It’s an economic injustice story. And corporate America wrote every word of it

Chamel Abdul-Karim allegedly burned $750M in property

Had Kimberly-Clark paid its 38K employees enough to live, it would've cost $750M—still leaving them with ~$2B profit

Abdul-Karim's violence is criminalized—but corporate economic violence is praised. Receipts

I saw that and SUPER appreciate that ^^ 🤗 You're such a great friend!

Remember, when the fascists are out of office, every person involved in drafting those laws, prosecuting them, and enforcing them - all need to be put on trial for crimes against humanity and thrown in jail for the rest of their natural lives.

BREAKING: VA passed legislation ending tax breaks for white supremacist Confederate groups—161 years after the Civil War.

But remember, reparations for Black people are unrealistic & unwarranted—after all, the Civil War ended 161 years ago.

This is systemic white supremacy in 2026 America.

Still in need of an Anthrocon room if any mutuals have a spot. 😇

Reagan's GOP liked to call their coalition a "three-legged stool" made up of the Religious Right, libertarians and anticommunists.

Trump's GOP has its own coalition, but it's made up of white supremacists, pedophiles and traitors. And its leaders are often all three!

Got my first photoshoot done of the new fursuit while up in Maine for Furcationland. Was a blast to bring my character to life and the craftsmanship of the suit is second to none.
