What if I told you government could do things to meaningfully improve your life?

I'm imagining that she's telling him in the second photo "your policies are killing children!"

I know this is a fantasy but what if he arrests Trump.

You also could just arrest them. Good luck hearing oral arguments and issuing decisions from a 6x9 in Guantanamo.

That's their problem.

This bit right here. This is John Roberts basically admitting, explicitly, that he is dreaming up a legal doctrine out of nothing because he does not like or approve of Obama's policy:

However low your opinion of the Roberts Court, it should be lower.

"a former CIA officer says..." Ah, so he made it up.

Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

And Luna specifically is a crank and liar. She might not be lying in this case but CBS isn't a trustworthy organization.

Counterpoint: the Pope is the leader of a deeply immoral organization so it may be wise to take any "moral clarity" from him with a grain of salt.

Intellectually Bankrupt: The Clarence Thomas Story

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!

ChatGPT is a website. Claude is a website. I will never respect a website. You cannot convince me to treat LLMs as anything different to any other technology. If a website only gets things right sometimes, it's a bad website. I will not be told otherwise.

And with another moment of thought, we really shouldn't be gifting VPs anything. There's a selection bias at work for the VP. They're in that position frequently because they're not good at running campaigns.

When was the last time the sitting VP won the Presidency? At this point, the default should be "going around them".

See, it's funny because his administration is comically corrupt and constantly committing felonies and war crimes.

Step 1: pack the court
Step 2: prosecution regardless of pardon. Make the arguments and force SCOTUS to rule on the boundaries of ArtII.S2.C1.3.1.

Democratic leadership failing at political communication is part of the reason we're in this mess.

Quite literally the only reason to tell people this is to convince them to commit crimes

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

I wish I could figure out how to “Don’t worry, the president is simply an impulsive sociopath with zero credibility“ became a reason for why it’s okay Trump is still in office and not a reason to remove him.

I’m not a laws of war expert but it’s my impression that just the threat to commit genocide is a war crime. Threatening to destroy a civilization is a war crime, whether or not you carry through. Not that the sort of people who support Trump care.

At the same time, elected leaders must also commit to prosecuting those who commit war crimes. Make clear now that anyone who carries out an illegal order will be held accountable during the next administration.

“Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.”
