This is also how you get people thinking “how bad could it be if we elected him again?”. Institutions held up, and even though he royally screwed up COVID, everyone decided that was actually Biden’s fault for some reason. All the catastrophic predictions were wrong then, why won’t they be now?

I get why they thought this, because this is largely how Trump’s first term worked. He’d do something and then either the courts would say no or some underling would fix it. The biggest difference with Trump II is that he’s unconstrained, both by SCOTUS and his own cabinet. It’s all true believers.

It’s hard for people on the “Democrats are too soft on Trump!” website to accept that a critical mass of 2024 swing voters sincerely believed that Democrats had been too hysterical about Trump

Los Angeles landlord Twitter is crashing out as they realize that YIMBYs are supporting Nithya Raman because we want to end the housing shortage and that we don’t really care about protecting incumbent landlords’ profit margins.

The belief in trans rights entering the median voters body as Trump makes gas cost $8/gallon

the levels of energy price slopulism in the 2028 primary is going to be off the charts, and we are going to have sooooo many people who know better saying "well ok look but you have to say something"

The press coming to “um achkully” Democrats and then go back to complete silence anytime else Republicans invent lies or say some shit that would get you locked up on a mental health hold

Love to anxiety spiral over hypotheticals that I accept as truth 3 years before I can even test the proposition to signal to my group chat that I am in fact one of the good and serious ones because I make myself depressed

Jake Tapper is very invested in both the troops and the integrity of Fox News so I’m sure he’s gonna make it his top story that the latter is degrading the former

"the system is rigged against me" just simply isn't inspiring enough to *earn* my support, find a better message

Yet another point in favor of "your politicians should ideally Never Post"

Some people thought that this was a cynical turn based on those first couple demoralizing months after Trump was sworn in again, but at this point it's clear that this is really how he is now

Governor Polis is insane btw. Like he became a crazy person crank.

greatest onion article of all time

every Young Gun GOP Rising Star is branded like that because reporters personally like them so they assume that the public does too

Is there a better way to spend international women’s day…?

yeah imagine them being raised in a faith that justified killing people for being the wrong religion

I don’t think that’s true because our Secretary of Defense, excuse me, War literally said on live television how refreshing and cool it was to have an ally who didn’t abide by targeting restrictions.

With Kemp at his side, Dooley struggles in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is betting a political novice can overcome a slow start to win the GOP primary and defeat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.

Postal services around the world that use birds as logos. One of my favorite poster graphics I've made! 🐦✉️

It’s also crazy how democrats funnel tons of money into deep red rural areas while republicans do everything they can to defund blue cities

This is nonsense. The idea that you need a photo ID to buy beer so it's just common sense that you need one to vote is premised on a world where (a) every liquor store has a list of all eligible drinkers that they check off when you buy a beer and...

the Bari Weiss CBS takeover is part of this; it's why she trumpeted having Erika Kirk on - it was supposed to be a slap to the anti-semitic faction on the right, and instead supercharged it.

Opening panel and Smol Emuni

Crowd at Smol Emuni

I'm at the conference of Smol Emuni - the US sister movement of the Israeli Faithful Left - in a room of hundreds of fellow observant American Jews opposing the occupation and upholding human dignity as a Jewish value. A day of Torah, serious thought, community, and organizing. There are LOTS of us.

because this is Axios I’m assuming it’s just their GOP friends ass-covering by blaming the Jews

ICE Detention of Teen Musicians Roils Texas Mariachi Community Two brothers who were recognized by their congresswoman last year, along with their parents and younger brother, are facing deportation.

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

Bill Maher hurt his middle finger at Knicks v. Lakers.

The Candidate is one of my favourite movies ever and I love that Jeremy Larner was enraged that Dan Quayle said he was inspired by it and made that clear in a 1988 NY Times op-ed that’s worth reading in full.
