yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Well, FWIW, I’ll keep advancing trans rights here no matter how many times you insult me. Again, that’s advancing my values.🤷‍♂️

Pols only work at wooing people who vote. Non participation is capitulation. Basically giving up one’s limited political power. That’s a personal choice, but history shows that aggressive participation, volunteer, etc. is how party ideologies get shifted.

For the last 25+ years I’ve been screaming from a soap box about climate change, which is a genuine threat to the existence of our species. I guess I could have spent that time just complaining that no party gave a shit about all our lives, but I chose to help drive change via participation. YMMV.

I am glad this piece about the Heritage Foundation threatening civil war if the left doesn’t accept a monarchy came out in the WaPo. More like this, please.

Due respect to the professor, this is laughable special pleading on behalf of John Roberts—his old boss—whom he repeatedly conflates with the whole court in this piece. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/05/o...

Seems like two different things. I don’t care who someone is. If they engaged in inappropriate behavior, it should be addressed. That’s honoring my values. But I accept that my political party will not be in perfect alignment with my values. I’m advancing my values as best I can democratically.

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again.

And I’ll crawl through dog shit and broken glass to vote for whoever tops the Dem ticket. My stance is that climate change is an urgent existential threat and my daughters deserve bodily autonomy.

My father was a USMC captain in the pacific theatre. His oldest sister married a survivor of occupied Poland - most of his family died in Dachau. Part of me is inspired by their fight. Part of me is glad they are all dead now so I don’t have to see any of them radicalized by FOX News…

Yes, ‘you can’t duly elect an administration to then use experts and science to combat climate change, insure airline safety, or regulate drugs’ was a BFD. ‘Grifty McShitweasel is a king’ just drove it from the front page.

Things are going very well when we've reached the "Don't worry, the military won't obey orders to kill civilians" stage of democratic backsliding. It's the sweet spot, where good things happen. Right where we want to be.

After the Court’s decision yesterday, I think there’s an argument from necessity for Biden seizing Trump and trying him by military tribunal, given the sudden unavailability of Article III courts. Plus, itʼs just the sort of thing they’ve authorized an active and energetic chief executive to do.

It’s not like you don’t see payoff before purity. I have been screaming from a soap box about climate change for decades. Biden is, by nature, at the center of his caucus. It is who he is… And he has been spectacularly good on climate. Shifting the Overton window works.

This is exactly right. You move a party by starting at the grass roots and being the most active, devoted part of the base. That’s how the freak show captured the GOP. Primary time, you drag tooth and nail where you want to go. General time, you fight even harder for your team to gain/hold power.

I’d enjoy seeing 6 treasonous judges staked out naked at Gitmo and Biden addressing the nation casually as he tees golf balls off their junk more, but your idea would be a good start…

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

They are so over the whole rule of law thing. And so confident that Biden won’t use the ruling to drag them all to gitmo.
