Objection to Unanimous Consent isn't unusual or taboo or difficult. It's just not being used by the Democrats. @schumer.senate.gov speechified how McMahon was an unfit candidate to lead the Dept. of Education and then just.... didn't object to the UC request to fast-track the nomination. Wtf.

my armchair sociology: you have people who were invested in traditional masculinity who also enjoyed the very aestheticized, entertainment versions of it (e.g. WWE, UFC) and you have a group of people whose only contact with masculinity was the latter, and this is broadly a class split

Funny we actually have them in parts of Brooklyn and Queens too- I believe due to some snafu at JFK where an exotic bird shipment got loose.

Sarah Kendzior has long said that they intend to collapse it: their plan is to neuter federal structures, isolate states and asset strip (post-USSR style): “You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell" (Trump)

Dude, in NYC, we had an eight p.m. curfew. An NYPD vehicle ran straight into a protesting crowd.
Police were teargassing white college kids in Omaha.
A private citizen tried to use a bow and arrow into a protest happening in Salt Lake City.
I'd never seen anything like that in my life.

Looking to the future, the greatest challenge America faces is the lawlessness and recklessness of the new executive branch and the total fealty the president commands in the Republican party. Seems to me there ought not be any role for bipartisanship in what’s coming. bsky.app/profile/schu...
