The way red states are trying to tie the hands of their blue cities, if there were a dissolution of the Union I imagine the dissolution of many states would quickly follow.

I’d be curious to see how US networks and cable news would handle mass moonings along the parade route.

That brand has a number of great foods – definitely my go-to for strained tomatoes.

Rushmore is the most rewatchable Anderson movie thanks to Olivia Williams, whose performance is engaging and warm in a way that I’m hard-pressed to find in another of his movies.

Every one of these is more important than the mental acuity of the former President. We are in trouble. Focus.

And this understates the problem, because now some of those past investments in long-term research (that can no longer be completed) is retroactively wasted.

Low-info voters on net don’t actually want moderation; they want radicalism. Sometimes they will read “bucking your own party”, which the media codes as moderate, as a sign that this person can upend the system. But I’d bet that running on some radically left-wing policies would have similar appeal.

If a snap election rematch of Trump v Harris were announced today, and scheduled for July, I’m pretty confident that Harris would win by at least the margin that Biden did in 2020. The luck of timing is a significant variable in electoral success.

A Wendell Berry politics, which is what MGP sounds like to me, doesn’t map neatly onto our political divide, but it’s popular enough that it deserves representation.

Can someone add SVG graphics to the No Kings graphics kit? I’d like to print poster board size for attachment to yard sign stakes. Others might want to print even larger banners. It’d be helpful to have SVG to be able to print to any size.

Those are not comparable kinds of repulsive behaviors. If the worst in people of the Left is celebrating the death of a hated political figure, and the worst of the Right is celebrating the terrorizing and illegal imprisonment of hundreds of innocent non-political people…

Yes, an SUV/truck chassis is bigger, heavier, has less range, sheds more polluting tire rubber, is more of a danger to pedestrians, requires larger parking spaces, and is more expensive. That’s why I’d prefer a car chassis, not just a truck with more seats in place of a truck bed.

I love the concept but wish they’d embrace a sedan/wagon model.

At no point did Alito—or any other Republican justice—consider the message it sends to the kids of LGBTQ parents when their peers have to walk out of the classroom to avoid exposure to families like theirs. These children will be the victims of the Supreme Court's decision.

Is there a plan for when Musk (at least claims that he) steps back from DOGE? Will the protests continue until the damage Musk has done is reversed? Until he actually steps back completely from DOGE?

“Oh, so to protect their own fundamental religious rights, they have to run for office?” (Paraphrased.)
This will be darkly amusing to those remember that in Dobbs, the same justices said that if women want abortion rights, they can support candidates, run for office, and change the law.

If Roberts does stand up for the court then it is essentially up to Congressional Republicans to decide whether or not to neuter the SCOTUS that has been their primary project for the last 25 years.

We may well have to weigh that risk against the need to cross the border to get basic healthcare like vaccines or reproductive healthcare.
