Even speaking as a member of the mild-mannered PECUSA I find it difficult to talk about Evangelicalism and the culture it has created as anything but a lawless movement of depravity and debauchery, lawless sinners who worship Satan by believing in nothing at all beyond their own selfish desires

Idk if this law is still on the books, but if it is, Dems could promise to enforce it the moment they have power again and significantly change the incentive structure faced by ICE agents

I think she’s actually unwell, just like Graham Linehan. There’s this weird transphobia mind worm that gets to people - apparently especially British celebrities - such that they get absolutely intolerable even to their friends

glad to see SPLC going back to their roots - the best work they ever did was bankrupting hate groups in the courts. it's about time someone made GDL answer for their harassment campaigns.

We just won a court order blocking the U.S. Department of Transportation’s illegal attempt to tie transportation funding to immigration enforcement. We will keep fighting to protect our immigrant communities and ensure our roads, airports, and transit systems get the support they need.

The right is not happy about the Mike Lee federal land sale idea. I'm not sure I've ever seen this much bipartisan anger. We'd do well to tap into it

it gets me how Democrats are like "Mr. Trump's actions are concerningly authoritarian and threaten due process" while normal people are like "that's my friend who you kidnapped and you're going to hell when you die."

If you think USAID is a net evil in the world, you should go shake the hand of Elon Musk and Big Balls, because they've successfully strangled it out of existence. We are no longer discussing the resumption of USAID, but the possible recreation of USAID.

Let's face it, as Trump outrages go, his actions on the TikTok ban wouldn't seem to rate very high. But what he's claiming to do here -- suspend the operation of a federal law, even as to its enforcement by states and private parties -- is actually among his most radical and king-like moves.

This is in many ways just as an important point as "boomers born in 1964 remembering the Blitz". The Empire Windrush docked in 1948, you actually have to be really really f'ng old to remember major British cities not being multicultural

I think genuine skepticism or despair at the possibility of doing good in the world is a relatable crisis, and you can find similar souls in history retreating to the desert or ascetic communities. Armchair skepticism and hanging around the scene to say “nothing matters” is extremely cheap stuff.

The Constitution says that, if the president vetos a bill, Congress gets to try to override that veto. If the presidency can veto any law on the books, passed at any time, with no possibility of override, the entire Article I lawmaking process is mute—merely a non-binding suggestion.

Trump is in some ways a villain from a fairy tale. You have make yourself grotesque in some way to serve him. For men, he emasculates you and makes you a servile dog, taking a picture of himself with you where he smirks and you look sunk. for women, he mutilates your face

this is the most important thing. the right uses social media as a propaganda network and want all of it under their control. not only that, but they want to use all social media to track individual citizens and beliefs and punish people based on that. it’s bad!
