if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

Watching the funeral of VP Dick Cheney and listening to his daughter, Congresswoman Liz Cheney, speak. One can only hope that this GOP will find its democratic compass again and reject all things fascist. I didn’t always agree with VP Cheney BUT he was antifa. He always put country over party.RIP🙏

when we talk about efforts to "erase DEI" can we be more precise and say "efforts to re-segregate workplaces and schools"

Those radicalised to the right take mild criticism with the same affront as a thorough fucking drubbing, so you might as well say what you think. And if ‘mild criticism’ is the best you have of these people, do better.
As with Emma Watson and Rowling, the "smear" Linehan gets here is actually a bunch of compliments with only a *very* mild push back on not agreeing with him. TERFs demand complete acquiescence, anything less is an affront.

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

Trump vs. US was the final straw imo. You cannot read that ruling and continue believing they have legitimacy. It is not only against the plain text of the constitution, it is anathema to the national ethos. It is offensively, insultingly un-American and they ceded legitimacy by committing that sin.
