Bluesky was generally better when we all more or less agreed to simply block dumb accounts and move on rather than quote dunk on them for clout.

Why MAGA doesn’t understand humor:
• Context is dismissed
• Satire is read as belief
• Bad faith is the default lens
• Punchlines are mistaken for positions
• Ambiguity feels threatening
• Laughter implies someone is “getting away with something”

Epstein redactions aren't believable, and they are valuable to fascists specifically because they aren't believable.
Fascists prefer lies to truth. Believing in a lie is preferable to believing a truth, if what you want is to dominate.
Believing lies dominates truth. So they believe lies.

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.
Until the mid-1970’s, a man could not be convicted of rape in New York State based solely on the testimony of the woman he raped. A second witness was required because the female rape victim was deemed unreliable.
Feminism has not failed women.

Hold onto your outrage. It shows you have principles.
If we lose our outrage and accept this MAGA dictator crap, that’s what we’ll get more of.
So stay angry, but stay hydrated too. It's a long battle, and we can win it.

It's fundamentally just racist reaction. Nothing is ever enough because what's demanded—ethnonationalist homogeneity—is completely unavailable in modern conditions. There will *always* be a basis for more demagoguery

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

Yes. Trump and Greene are both odious but it is objectively good for them to fight, particularly over an issue that is extremely bad for Trump and which has zero downside for Democrats.
It is how the Framers envisioned checks and balances would work, "ambition must be made to counteract ambition."

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

MTG smells Trump's weakness. She can picture a world without him and she's making her moves.
Greene’s doing this for the same reason she was pandering to brainworms years ahead of when it became the GOP platform. She’s cynical but not actually stupid, and better than most at getting ahead of the curve. Knowing which way the wind is blowing. She’s placing her bets now for the post-Trump era.

So much of the downfall of our democracy is going to be Democrats thinking wrongly that 1/6 was the end of something—rather than the beginning. They bent over backward to reinforce “norms” with Biden in office, but failed to prioritize legal measures to crush or stymie the rise of authoritarianism.
democrats preserving the fillibuster just for trump to direct republicans to get rid of it was for nothing. democrats should have done this day one in the biden administration but their biggest downfall was assuming that political “norms” were restored after biden won

Have to admit I'm surprised by this result, and very ambivalent about it.
The downsides are that it means more suffering for Argentines, and because a win for any of these guys is a win for all of them, Trump included.
The upside is that Argentines would've suffered more if the Peronists had won.

Today's "One First" explains why Stephen Miller is wrong that ICE officers have "federal immunity" from prosecution for all actions they take in their official duties, and that anyone attempting to prosecute them is committing a felony.
Supremacy Clause immunity is a thing, but it's *not* absolute:

Stephen Miller claims that ICE officers have "immunity" for anything they do while enforcing immigration law. Even as an argument about *state* criminal prosecutions, that claim is overstated at best.

Given what Miller’s threat to arrest Pritzker for seditious conspiracy, I ask again:
Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?
The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
