This is probably wrong of me but I genuinely don’t think I’d know when those No Kings protests are if not for Republican Senators getting on tv and being like “Skeletor will be there, everyone who is there will get an abortion, the ceremony will raise the dread visions of Nyarlathotep”

ok everyone's seen the trump with epstein photos by now, after years of the media pretending they didn't exist. good progress. next step is making sure everyone who is like "uh this all is sketchy but surely the president isn't literally a pedophile" sees this gross photo

But that also goes back to “people do not understand how much actual manual labor goes into many things we take for granted.”

like the reason for this is that they do not believe anything can or should exist in the public space. the whole idea of national land offends them.

Would a bold narrative in the Times, where every A1 scandal that Trump had actually, appeared on A1 have made the difference? Probably not. But I'd rather the Paper of Record take a stance in favor of Democracy and informing readers instead of constant both-sidesing.

I think we, as leftists, have good ideas, and people seem generally more receptive to them than they’ve been in a long time. The trick for all of us who want to see those ideas spread is — to the greatest extent possible — not to be personally unpleasant about pushing for them

If it’s the latter, then *that’s* your ideology, and the rest is derived from it. If you get so lost in the sauce of the *way* you’ve decided is best to help people that you turn aside from real concrete chances to *actually* help people, you’ve got some work to do on yourself.

The lesson of Trumpism is that you can just not resign and stay in power and eventually, everyone will just kinda get over it and the results will default to partisanship. Again, I cannot stress enough that this is a bad fact about our politics

there needs to be a term for the pendulum where thermostatic politics allows a constitutionalist majority to regain control of a flawed democracy but not by enough to set the break properly so instead you just have a slow ratchet of thermostatic fuckery constitutional enshitification

Also, contrast this with Daniel Perry, pardoned by Greg Abbott for murdering a BLM protestor.

Say what you will about leftist protestors, but none of our elected leaders would ever openly encourage murder the way mainstream Republicans now do.

"Texans likely to have a 17% increase in electric bills, over $100 billion in lost investment, and reduced grid reliability if the House bill is adopted as is by the Senate" - Texas Energy and Power Newsletter

#txlege #GOP #BigBeautifulBill #USSenate
Texans are projected to have higher electric bills & lose over $100 billion in investment if the US Senate passes the House bill as is. The industry will survive but we'll experience reduced grid reliability and economic slowdown, esp. over next few years.
