this is like a Barad-Dur scope windmill to tilt at on the "hyperdense packages of depression and passion playing CK3 but for intramural ideological war" website
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

Once again respect to posty for dropping his visor, taking up his lance, and riding at full tilt toward the windmill of this website's mood
I really, truly need people to understand that every path to legislative checks on ICE/CBP runs through passing a DHS funding bill.
For limitations on ICE/CBP, passing a hypothetical better bill>passing the bill the House passed>the state of shutdown.
Shutdown is not a useful goal in itself.

I think it's up to dems to sell to their voters why their asks would be impactful. The biggest thing to me is that it's clear dhs would have been funded with dem votes but for this murder. Is that what it's going to take every time?

I have already sent an email to the Iowa Libertarian Party socials guy with his MN and WI counterparts but I know him to be [series of slurs] unworthy of his follows, which is saying a lot, and have likewise emailed my weirdo Chesterton fanboy cousins to scream at him

More detail-oriented cover/tribute acts aggressively committed to being entertaining instead of being on their own bullshit
I am exactly drunk enough to argue about the artistic merit of Lightning And Thunder now, which now somehow has cultural value because of Hugh Jackman and weirdly-hot uglied up Kate Hudson

The afterparty, which I have found myself at with all the DSM metro country club bar managers for reasons of endurance, is playing the pep band playlist for my high school’s wrestling home tourney set
I have, perhaps very on brand, started this night by being stood up for a date on the basis of a news event (read: yes, that murder) & ended up kind of drunk at a service industry event I was invited to on the basis of being an honest favorite drinker of various bartenders who texted me the invite

The responses to this are the most compelling refutation of “Trump is going to lose” that’s currently going and I, happily, don’t think you fucking sad, contemptible idiots are enough to fuck this up

Related to perhaps everything but the antiTrump front seems potentially massive; this should not be construed as a coalition for your transformative, affirmative political Deal but as a rejection of fascism/nationalism it seems pretty profound

Darkly funny that I am a hyperconservative Midwestern kraut on like 4 subjects and 2 of them are ”Order is a virtue & the state is not intrinsically a provider of order” and “the state must be an efficient steward of its budget and service remit” and these are the axes on which Trump fails hardest

Nice to see the *checks notes* NRA is equivocating on the question of whether or not I am able to exercise my constitutional prerogative to carry a firearm that I legally purchased and registered without getting gunned down by some low-T chud who failed the ASVAB

Further evidence that Republicans see this situation slipping away for them?

I worked at Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for 4 years. I helped with our graduate and night programs for nurses. I have never met a better group of selfless people. That the last thing he did was try to care for another doesn’t surprise me. This is sickening.

It’s sort of a wild experience to see a TL that is half people raging that Democrats are huge cuck losers who will do nothing and just want to hide and the other half is retweets of sundry actual congresscreatures saying ”Miller is a domestic terrorist” etc.
