what pisses me off about this is that so many trans women began life being raised & treated as little boys who demonstrated “feminine”-coded behavior that got them abused, harassed and victimized by the EXACT same shitbag cis boys who mistreated little girls WE ON THE SAME SIDE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!

You know what's a consistent feature of working class areas literally everywhere? Lower car ownership rates. For obvious reasons.

Here's how I'd put the problem. Liberalism was a new and radical ideology in 1776, 1789, and even arguably in 1868. As such, the Founders articulated those liberal principles while violating them left and right. That's normal; it takes time to apply radical new principles broadly.

Trump: "Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing & hosp--lee. We will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms, screaming, 'What can I do? Help me God, what can I do?' We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess."

Textualism is important. I'm fundamentally unconvinced by originalism, which has always seemed to be used more to invent textual ambiguity that can then be resolved in ways that achieve outcomes. See, eg, Scalia's insistence on imposing 'originalism' to limit the definition of "cruel and original."

Strong economy + lessening inflation concerns + incumbency = people are really, really underrating Biden's chances (& I kinda suspect the fact that no credible candidate has made themselves available to be drafted in the past couple weeks means they know it too)

The lesson of the French elections really seems to be “only a united coalition can beat back the forces of tyranny” and not so much about whether leftism or centrism are inherently superior political philosophies.

in part because they seem totally orthogonal to where various dems land on the political spectrum from center to left. there's no pattern that I can discern to which dems are calling for biden to reconsider, other than that the leftier flank (squad etc) has been notably quiet

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

this is consistent with my general sense that many of the justices really, really don't understand both how much they are disliked by an increasingly fervent and expansive segment of population, and the extent to which those people are now paying attention in a way they weren't before

I see the reasoning here, and I don’t disagree with it, but what gives me qualms is that this is also the same reasoning used to make a poor person stealing a loaf to feed their family into a serious felony.

Let me be clear. In my opinion, John Roberts has joined Roger Taney (Dred Scott - slavery) as a Chief Justice who will be remembered as an evil man. Not just wrong, but worthy of eternal condemnation for trying to destroy the Republic.

He didn’t understand. A lot of lay people who don’t understand firearms think that shooting to wound is a thing, that it works, and is something that cops and the military can do at will.
