a-woo.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

We are seeing some of the worst 1A violations of our lifetimes unfold over these months & intersect with an all-out assault on the judiciary. This is of course the correct decision, but it’s tough to think abt what true justice would be, if it’s even possible.

I thought the Chicago/APA/MLA pope joke won, but this one might be undefeatable.

In retrospect, there’s much that I could have seen coming when one considers Virginia’s Gadsden flag vanity plate, where you can signify your individuality and distrust of government by giving money to the government.

no answer more clear from their perspective to the question "when was America great" than using the highest office in the country to claim to nullify/gut enforcement of the Civil Rights Act

There are people who say that policies don't really make a difference in US presidential elections and I think they've been proven correct at least as it relates to marginal voters. No one can say that Democrats did not talk constantly about Project 2025.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

Cville, my "liberal bubble" home. "the enforcers called in to detain the two men were wearing plain clothes & did not display badges or arrest warrants...who handcuff him & lead him out the front door of the courthouse and into an unmarked van." How does this sound any different than a kidnapping.

Cruelty, fear & degradation of detention. World-changing, life-saving research left to perish. Incalculable talent & skill pouring out of our country to go elsewhere. This president will literally give up a cure for cancer to put people in prison & exile for what.
