Every state with a Democratic legislature and Democratic governor could do this right now — they wouldn’t even need to do a ballot initiative. They could do it RIGHT NOW — so please pass it on and spread the word 👇
This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

Conservatives can't be taken seriously on the question of what counts as art ever again unless they confront this squarely. Decades of blather about how the left destroyed the arts because they don't care about talent and effort – all abandoned immediately for the instant gratification of AI slop.
It cannot be stressed enough that AI "art" is the aesthetic of modern-day fascism

The reason for the anger at posting Kirk’s words is simply that we are entering a fascistic world where the truth is dangerous and lies become facts.
It is literally how fascism sustains itself. Turning bigots into martyrs and innocent people into criminals. And that’s why saying the truth matters.

The discourse about how to protest right is a distraction from what the protests are actually about: SECURITY FORCES CAME IN THE NIGHT AND TOOK 2000 PEOPLE AWAY
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I think at some point we have to stop indulging the fiction that conservatism is a legitimate political tendency and isn't simply a grievance cult for those who value the ability to enact cruelty over their literal basic needs.

“Brutally murdered in hate crime” would easily fit on the headline. They burned down his house, murdered his dogs, dug their bones up to torment him, and then killed him. Barbarism.
