i mean i'm also not particularly excited about that!

work for the longer-term future is still important right now, i think. the aftermath of trump will not disappear even after this admin falls, i am deeply afraid of what his movement becomes in 1-3 decades, and i'm going to start preparing to fight whatever that is now.

SJP, Indivisible, Gay Nerd Association, your local YIMBY sex club, environmentalist cult, the NIMBY sex club, your labor union's reform caucus, your un-unionized workplace's group chat; EWOC, Ewok gang, whatever. Fuck you. Get up.

absolutely that too

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

there is no way in hell we don't end up with major sections of jurisprudence overturned by the end of this. the tensions have become too great.

and i think that a court cannot be considered "right", no matter the legal merits of its arguments, if its ultimate judgement is this level of bullshit. because the court and the law is a social construct, and people will construct something else if the alternative is starvation

like yes, legal scholars can debate endlessly what things are in accordance with the constitution and statutes. but at a certain point all the legal stuff gets too abstract and disconnected from morality or "the will of the people" or anything understandable to a non-lawyer,

fair enough, i'm just worried we're gonna pull another merrick garland

i call this view 'reactionary centrism' - the problem with it is that modern fascism *cannot* be appeased; they don't want a few compromises in women's sports, they want a total social transformation and the end of liberal democracy

you give them a bone, then another, then they want your arm

i hope so!

thanks!!

thanks!!

thanks!!

imo one of the better parts of EA is that we don't really have leaders bc everyone is mostly busy doing the actually work
