Of much less importance, but this is also true of marijuana legalization. There’s no constituency for marijuana prohibition outside of elderly politicians and the alcohol industry
Democrats who want to maintain the standard U.S. support for Israel despite their own voters’ deep opposition to the country’s government will increasingly struggle — not because voters are obsessed with Israel but because it’s an indication they’re deeply out-of-touch or beholden to lobbyists.

Ok, so the judge found that ICE violated the tro and lied about and now, she’s going to issue an injunction. Are there any consequences? “I told you to stop and you didn’t. So now I’m telling you to stop again.” This isn’t very compelling
Ellis now getting into the meat of the injnuction order she says she *will* be issuing, starting with her ruling that plaintiffs have standing to pursue relief.

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

Handy list to tell if you’re listening to the best kind of Guided By Voices song:
- anthemic chorus
- lyrics about ghosts and/or aliens
- bob singing in a British accent for no clear reason
- at least one part not properly mixed
- worst fucking guitar solo you’ve ever heard
- under a minute
