Hey there Bluesky.
I’d like to pretend like this is a fresh start for me, but it is definitely not.

i thin that the internet has largely ruined political cartoons. people don’t know how to make actual cartoons anymore. all they do now is draw an obnoxious stand in for the artist and a giant text bubble

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

One of the more fascinating things to me right now is the MAGA immigrant ladder-kickers. Naturalized and first generation citizens who support Trump BECAUSE of his immigration stances and want to see every “illegal” deported.
I know several of these people personally.

I truly find the notion that the US can't assimilate immigrants insulting. Such little faith in our own capacity, values, culture etc. We did it before.

This is why the "there will never be another election" defeatism is so harmful. There WILL be an election, Trump has no control over it, and his attempts to influence its outcome are failing. To declare we'll never have another election is to give up without a fight. That's the only way they win.
Everyone dooming about 2026 is wrong.
Authoritarianism isn’t consolidated. Republicans can’t rig the midterms.
And their efforts to manipulate them may be backfiring.
The triumphalists had a similar over-read of 2024 as the doomerists, and a similar underestimation of the pro-democracy opposition.

Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:
*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats

Next step?! Religion monetized the guilt cycle millennia before Capitalism was even codified as an economic philosophy
Further, I think Religious prosperity doctrine actually formed the basis for the modern conception and dogma of liberal capitalism rather than the other way around.

Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

The content is still obviously delusional to anyone reading it. It’s just organised crazy. But the real danger is the internal effect on the user. The AI provides coherence and validation, stabilising the narrative they’re caught in.
