this post reminded me, masked vigilantes were such a scourge that Congress made it a felony to "go in disguise upon the public highway" for the purpose of interfering with the free exercise of constitutional rights in the Enforcement Act of 1870

The fact that so many people think celebrating the end of slavery in the US is “DEI” is actually clarifying of what they mean when they use DEI. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

This is so sad. I’m an editor and writer, not a biz-side person, but it’s pretty easy to see that the path to health for a newspaper is not throwing all the brand equity and talent out the window while insulting your readership

The absolute bubble of delusional denial about this is insane. Their base hates them. They aren't appealing to the middle. They aren't putting up any serious opposition in Congress. No halfway functional political party would continue like this.

extremely grim question. I think my preliminary short answer is yes my medium answer is, they didn't just kill the Equal Protection Clause, they killed it and buried it in Pet Sematary so it came back all wrong and twisted, fighting against everything it is supposed to fight for

The reasoning in Skrmetti is just repackaged “every race is punished equally, so nothing to see here” logic that Loving v. Virginia emphatically rejected.

one thing i think people should ask the court conservatives given this ruling is what, specifically, was wrong with plessy?

This is actually the second decision from the Roberts court endorsing plessy-like reasoning. The first was Dobbs. bsky.app/profile/jame...

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

Are self-reactionaries a thing? Or maybe auto-reactionaries? "I made some good points but then I took things too far"?

Was consumed all day at work by the fact that trump tweeted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" at Iran, which from any normal president would be hugely consequential and it wasn't even a story because the media has just sort of deformed itself into nihilistic acceptance of the fact that he's insane

As I try to understand the reactionary thought process and the pressures working on them, I keep coming back to this, more or less. They’d rather protect their power and positions—in all regards, definitely including social and informal—rather than see their (stated) policy preferences implemented.
