People have interpreted this as a call for a boycott, when I actually want a wealth tax so aggressive it'd make Lenin say, "steady on, lad" if Lenin talked like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.

Hard for me to envision sticking with a party that I'm concerned might kill me if I crossed its leader

This is why both parties are not the same. This is why both parties will never be the same. This is why we hold our noses and vote for the lesser evil, because sometimes the lesser evil has the courage to go out and do good.

Honestly, I thought we would not be seeing camps and deportations on the scale that we are seeing now. I expected this administration to be much more similar to the first.

I see a lot of people falling into the "this is pointless" trap, and I can only say it so many ways — though I suspect I will have to write something specifically about it on this front — but the bottom line is that we must expect compliance. Anything less is just making noncompliance easier.

this is my vibe, when a Democrat does something you don't like, shut up, ignore them, they say something wack, ignore them, focus on the people you like boost the messaging you like, it'll be more effective than spending 30 hours on messaging you thought sucked.

Their fall is going to shock everyone with how fast it is, how quickly we reach a critical mass. The aftermath is going to be significantly weirder and messier than such fantasies foretell. But when it comes the change is going to be swift

I think I'm feeling a certain level of visceral nausea at the fact that people who love my books, who say they're "important" and "life-saving", don't care enough about my life or any trans people enough to stop reading a generic, racist, and painfully over-written wizard book made for 12 year olds.

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

I'll be working as fast and as thoroughly as I can today, but I am not going to beat the GCs who have seen this judgment days in advance. Please wait for actual analysis from friendly sources to come out before believing whatever propaganda gets spread about this case.

Unironically believing that the #dorley programme is ethical and would work in real life is the girl power version of thinking Tyler Durden was right about society. I refuse to elaborate. Because I am right.

Exactly this. If you want to piss and moan about how it’s hopeless and useless, feel free, but don’t expect a ton of support from the people who are putting their back into stopping it.

Fed. Judge repeatedly mentioning "2 weeks" is a giant, neon red, flashing WARNING sign 2 weeks is the minimum required notice to hold a party in contempt if they don't comply. She's basically telling Ensign to pack a toothbrush if this doesn't get done.

Judge Xinis is set to haul the government in front of her bench over the next two weeks and make them explain under oath what they're doing. I know the timeline seems awful given that Kilmar remains locked up. But this is not a case where she can just order him brought back tomorrow, given Bukele.
