Getting up in front of reporters and saying repeatedly "The lawsuit I filed is based on lies" must be some advanced legal strategy

Two funny things I just found in my gmail spam folder:

1. A google gemini email
2. A notice about a class action lawsuit against Google

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

having a political ideology of "i just like seeing the other guys cry" is bad. but having a political ideology of belief in collective action to improve the lives of everyone PLUS "i just like seeing the other guys cry"??? that's good

Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.

Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.

Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

you brought this on yourselves

you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster

you earned this

I'm sure Alito is fuming about the Virginia vote and itching to strike down the rest of the Voting Rights Act as petty revenge.

But Democrats are likely retaking the House, maybe the Senate, no matter what SCOTUS does now.

Killing the VRA would just be a final insult that speeds court reform.

Man it sucks that images aren’t displaying if only there were some helpful tool where you could describe the photo with a few words. Like. An alternative text or something.

CIA pulling off another regime change with the underhanded dirty trick of all living and voting there.

Virginia Senate Majority Leader Louise Lucas saying "Can you lock the fuck in"

Yeah but, did you want it?

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

It had me in a hell of a chokehold for sure, I feel ya

REDISTRICT EVERYTHING

ESCALATE TO DE-ESCALATE

GERRYMANDER EVERY SINGLE STATE IMMEDIATELY

CREATE A DELICATE BALANCE OF TERROR NOW

RESTORE DETTERENCE

These people stub their toe or run out of paper towels and immediately write an OpEd bemoaning the collapse of Western Civilization and demanding that the army drown the streets in the blood of degenerates, it is so profoundly tedious.

did a ryan beedie write this

this one is funny because i guess "working class" people don't live in richmond or norfolk or suffolk or albemarle or manassas? bsky.app/profile/coll...

it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback.

in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.

if you own a farm you are not the working class, the undocumented workers you exploit are

“Ignore Texas”

Diamondbacks, Brewers, Mets

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 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

Anybody who supports cops also supports extremism through confidential informants (before even getting to the whole cops part) via this logic, we should sue every police department too!

Fuck this Nazi and fuck anyone who accepts a single letter of his worthless apology.

“Unite the Right” was an extremist group as confirmed by the FBI, headed by a man whose boss said it had “very fine people,” the hypocrisy is the point I’m aware but still
