White people’s willingness to give other white people the benefit of the doubt despite any and all evidence that they shouldn’t will be the death of us all.

The White House is openly saying they want to eliminate a minority group and people still want to say this is about sports.

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

fuck these motherfuckers for real
The Supreme Court's first decisions are the trans athlete cases. By a 6–3 vote, the court holds that Title IX and the equal protection clause do NOT stop states from excluding trans women and girls from female sports teams. The three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.
The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.

Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

We stopped expanding the House in the 1920s, decided the Supreme Court should freeze in the 1930s, added the last states in the 1950s, amended the Constitution only once in the last fifty years.
The USA and its government continued to grow, but almost all that growth came in the executive branch.

i really think the only reason we haven't created new states — which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas — is that 50 is a round number

Men “defending” women by defining them in the creepiest possible terms is a real hallmark of public transphobia. Real “every accusation is a confession” vibe.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

"What if we taught men to get laid leftistly"
what if men cared about the loss of our bodily autonomy, the abuse we face as a result of coerced economic dependence and the actual pandemic of femicidal violence we have to contend with, more than they cared about sexual access to our bodies

there isn’t a leftist way to talk about how to get sex from women, it is a fundamentally right wing view to believe women are the keepers of sex and they are withholding it from you because you aren’t coercing them the right way.
Everyone is yelling at Ian about this but the article is good and this is a real problem! If you are a straight guy trying to get laid 99% of the advice you come across will be right wing-coded.
The left is completely silent on the subject of men getting laid - which, generally speaking, they are v.interested in doing and will continue to be interested in regardless of whether progressives want to talk about it. So the stage has been left entirely clear for the far-right.

The other reason this is infuriating is because straight women have, in fact, been explaining to straight men how to treat them for years. Endless discourse and countless books are dedicated to this topic. What this is a symptom of—and treats as legitimate!—is that men will only listen to other men.
