there was potentially a path for a treatlerite mostly popular regime and it was thrown directly in the dumpster by Trump's obsession with tariffs and Miller's psychotic inability to *slowly* boil the frog on immigration
I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country
but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.

I tried to explain this to my students by saying “Imagine somebody from Vanderpump Rules becomes president in 20 years” and they all laughed and then the laughter slowly died and they all got real quiet.
yes, and: there is an entire generation of voters out there that don't know what politics is like without Donald Trump
When I chose to study politics for a living I had no idea that politics would get this dumb.

Not an exaggeration, that’s literally Bhattacharya’s plan.

Bodily autonomy is the ultimate principle here and if we’re gonna make it stick we need to do away with the deep-seated notion that certain kinds of bodies are bad and undesirable to the point of being other people’s personal business and indeed a social problem
Fatphobia goes hand in hand with transphobia and is rampant even in otherwise progressive spaces because it makes people feel a sense of control to police their own and other people's bodies. It is social poison and we will never eliminate transphobia without eliminating anti-fatness.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
