Ppl forget but the Sixth Circuit is to the right of even SCOTUS. their original ruling on Skrmetti was even worst than the Roberts court

you jinxed us!

her writeupwas p good though. noted the long timetable this is on and the impending legal challenges

who makes the decision to rehear? is it a majority of the justices or a specific smaller number?

@mattyglesias.bsky.social should be writing gloating articles about Zohran's rapid backtracking on "defund the police" and how that proves him right abt 2020 lefty talking points being toxic. But no, Zohran's loudest online fans are hipsters and activists, so they must be crushed at all costs.

right-leaning podcast bros. Like I get that Zohran excites all the same Groups that centrist Dems reflexively hate (socialists, hip nyc kids, trans activists) but the man himself is basically running their exact playbook so like why the tension?

Turns out the American people are simultaneously not as scandalized by Trump nor as scandalized by trans women as like, The Atlantic or The NYT thinks they are

Because then you look at a poll by like, some A rated right-leaning pollster like Beacon & Shaw or AtlasIntel, and its like "44% of ppl are cool with trans, 51% aren't, 5% couldn't say" and then they get the same result for Trump's support as well

Which makes me figure that those polls must be reaching some specific audience of respondents who are all conservative pearl clutching centrist dems and nevertrumpers, equally scandalized by Trump's shenanigans and my existence as a woman

And as a six foot tall trans woman with pink hair who teaches at a rural college in texas, I find the students are surprisingly cool with both me and Donald J Trump lol

they're calling it the reverse Ari Drennan

how can you be a Coldplay fan?
