We write our obituaries in life, not in death. Live a life that caused mourning, and your life’s end will be a celebration.
If, at the passing of a person who made themselves monstrous, you would honor humanity, honor the humanity of the victims of that monstrous life.

Reminds me of when Ann Coulter was saying nasty antisemitism and Ben Shapiro said, more or less, that's fine because she's right on Israel

I support their formal, legal, and social equality, oppose their abuse by law and culture, and oppose the numerous political and legal movements to oppress them.
But I’m not going to infantilize them, so if they show up like a bullshit mean girl, I’ll treat them like one.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but it's not enough to "correct" right wing disinfo, as if they made an honest mistake. He lied, on purpose, to draw this reaction. Call out the game.

that this generally hasn’t been the case is a testament to how federalism has done more to enable the nation’s neighborhood bullies, local tyrants and regional oligarchs than it has ordinary people at the margins
this piece gets to something key: states have the capacity to expand and deepen the rights of their residents and in the process create pressure to expand and deepen the rights of american citizenship
The Overlooked Solution to the Radical Supreme Court
Conservative justices will rule for another generation. The only hope of liberals is to seize state courts and launch a legal counterrevolution.

Friendly reminder that conservative trolls WANT to be bullied on Bluesky. They thrive on the attention. They want to be trolled so they can go back to Twitter or write some dumb “thinkpiece” and say how Bluesky is filled with intolerant liberals. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Just block them.

Transphobia is so central to fascism because trans people exist at a unique crossroads of self-determination and social interaction--both of which are poison to authoritarian mindsets. If we are allowed to challenge the oldest socially-constructed hierarchy, all the others start to look more fragile

I like this framing tbh. If they’re gonna call us woke anyway we should champion the president so woke he went to war for social justice: Lincoln 🇺🇸
And it all started when the Woke Army trounced the Anti-Woke Army during the Lincoln Administration.
