itā€™s extremely ā€˜woman having coffee with her partner in the garden in the morningā€™ vibes, except instead of everyone being mad at this movie guy, itā€™s mainly just one woman but sheā€™s managed to turn it into a whole ass thing

It cannot be stressed enough that adjusting the size of the Supreme Court in the 19th c. was a serious solution to serious concerns about how the Court functioned.

Something i've felt would be an easy win for years is to offer an energy bill subsidy to anyone living within a certain range of an onshore wind farm. Firstly, because it would create a perceived tangible local benefit. Secondly, because the number of people who would actually qualify would be low

Alternatively make friends with a criminal defense lawyer who does 1st amendment cases. I miss @gregdoucette.bsky.social so much.

But yes before you go to ANY protest, know 1) who will show up with cash to bail you out and 2) who your lawyer is

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

"You wouldn't use air conditioning if you care about the environment" is just the new "You'd recycle your plastic if you cared about the environment." Both purposely default to individual responsibility as the cure when the real issue is industries & companies. It's. a. distraction. It always is.

I find it fascinating that we, as a society, are so fatphobic that we came up with the term a ā€˜tidy/neat bumpā€™ to reassure pregnant women that at least they arenā€™t gaining weight anywhere else

I donā€™t agree that itā€™s inherently a value judgment tho. We donā€™t think of ā€˜arachnophobesā€™ as being ā€˜bad peopleā€™ So if she thinks a ā€˜transphobeā€™ is ā€˜badā€™ then sheā€™s sort of speaking to her own hypocrisy there
