Ahead of the Oscars, I once again wrote about my favorite movies of the year. If you were as pleasantly surprised as I was by 2024, just wait. 2025 is going to be a doozy. amixedreview.com/2025/03/01/t...

I hate how I'm not sure if I have any politics except hating the Republican Party now. "How much do they hate the GOP and want it to lose?" is pretty much the only thing I have left because it took away state capacity and the ability to commit to anything longer than the 2 years before midterms.

Pretty telling that the comparison here is “someone scolding you via a video you saw on Facebook that you found annoying” and “complete disregard for legal protections and long standing peaceful cooperation between nations”. It’s actually pretty accurate to how conservatives view the world

the reason to systematically primary safe seat Dems in 2026 and 2028 is because they don't have the guts to do what needs to be done in 2029 even if they get the spine to do what needs to be done when under crushing pressure in 2025

they just lied they lied, and they lied, and they lied, and they won because of it and now they're claiming they had a mandate to do all of the things they lied about not doing and many more besides the press bears an enormous amount of responsibility for all of this

If Republican politicians believe they’ll be killed by their own voters or coworkers if they honor their oaths to the country and Constitution, then the only moral response is to (wo)man up and die. I know it sounds callous, but I’m sorry, it’s true.

we’ve seen this movie before the big worry is obviously that these people never surrender power again, but even in a scenario where they do they’re almost certainly going to leave this country in such a state of crisis that it cannot be fixed before thermostatic backlash returns them to power

I was a big proponent of Biden's domestic policies, but it's inarguable that we'd be far better off with a neoliberal who would've properly dealt with it.

the depressing thing about what's happening and to come is how fucking unnecessary all of it was. no war forced us into this, no massive recession. bunch of bored morons pushed the "break everything" button because of the man on the tv and the people on their phone told them, and people will die.

this is gonna be the way things work over the next few years- the admin getting like 1% of what it wants and losing almost every negotiation while the lapdog press spins every loss as a huge historic win, it's literally the modi model

The countless small choices made every day inside newsrooms to do things like describe clear violations of the black-letter text of the law as "legally murky" add up to a very meaningful part of what's happened since 2017 and will continue to happen for the next four years.

Project 2025 is here. Trump is implementing all of it. His denials were typical Trump lies, repeated by his allies in the media who wanted him to win.

This is illegitimate and illegal. I don’t care how many people support it, and how many judges shrug at it. It is a crime against the post-Civil War constitutional order, a constitutional order that was paid for in the blood of Union soldiers.

They are going to write a very large check with the President's name on it. He will put it in his pocket. And the app will be back on. That's how business is getting done now. We've already seen it from several corporations publicly, I'm sure more is happening privately.
