"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

Can't accept this way of thinking. If the supreme court dares to lie about the plain text of the constitution, it is the supreme court's un-numerated power of judicial review which is over. Not the Constitution

"Several dozen people form a human barrier around migrants and escort them to and from immigration proceedings" would be a good thing to organize

2nd Amendment. It's not just about opposing the government. You literally will soon depend on non-governmental security measures or you won't have any at all.

absolute fucking moron

The joke is the left wing of the assembly that it's derived from also was made up more of liberals than socialists.

The leftist-liberal distinction exists only on Twitter and BlueSky

Likely nothing. Mass protest on its own is useless. The GF protests achieved fa and unless a causal link can be set between mass protests and ousting him from office or at the very least sustained and widespread physical resistance to sabotage his fascist policies, those would achieve fa too.

The Trump administration's baseless deployment of the National Guard is plainly retaliation against California, a stronghold for immigrant communities, and is akin to a declaration of war on all Californians.

One of the most interesting things about The Great Idiot Fight is that it directly threatens the massive Cope Superstructure that American media maintains in order to perpetuate their status as genius demigods

I’m so fucking here for this breakup

With the country descending into fascism, it's the perfect time for me to plug my new book on the left's cancel culture problem.

I do not know how I feel about the fact that this was among Jeff's behavioral econ recs for me. Or that supposedly others that bought those also bought this.

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

If we're ever going to have a chance of rebuilding from this mess, the left-right axis is far less important than the fight-don't fight axis. Moderates who are willing to do whatever it takes to recover from Trumpism are far more valuable to the left than "leftists" who just care about their seats.

Can you stop calling far-right radicals that trash long-established institutions and traditions conservatives please.

“The Big Beautiful Bill” (what an utterly ridiculous title) changes the maximum age of a dependent child from 18 to 7. So your 8 year old is no longer your dependent. Let that sink in.

Trump just got hit with 7 new articles of impeachment. Charges include obstruction, bribery, authoritarian power grabs. Republicans now have 2 days to decide whether to protect Trump or protect the Constitution. I wonder which they will choose?

lmao

Heh.

FAFO

Literally me youtu.be/1GubzoH3jxw

This is actually very funny.

It should be noted that there are strong market traditions in the historical left that could be reutilized to appeal to the more genuine libertarians, even from the left.

Deutschland braucht weniger Journalisten und mehr radikale Aktivisten.

I think RFK Jr. is the true sociopath of the admin. He's the guy who orders 5 innocent million people killed intentionally and with open eyes. Everyone else does it by accident, or convinces themselves they're not really doing it, or that it was some sort of self-defense.
