They talk about “liberty” and “freedom,” and also they demand you conform.
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

i have been thinking about this a lot. my "left-wing" ideas about government reform mostly amount to trying to make the federal government conform with the vision in the constitution: a strong, active and majoritarian congress
one thing that I find remarkable is that it is surprisingly left/radical coded in some spaces to think that Congress needs institutional reform in order to allow for more functional government
This is a less charitable version of what @sharonk.bsky.social was saying earlier, but if you don’t like a Congress where it’s all about vibes and posturing, you should support efforts to make Congress a functional legislative body again.

I can conform the cold water thing works
If you’re struggling, I’m copy pasting what a trauma therapist friend suggested here:
“Highly recommend dunking your face in a bowl of cold water, drinking some water to help your body flush the adrenaline and finding something to smell or touch for grounding and avoiding dissociation”

This seems like a declaration of intent to commit war crimes, uttered out of frustration that reality will not conform to unhinged fantasy, but to be fair I blew off my laws of war class.

That a right-wing lawyer just suggested before the Supreme Court that Americans don't have a right to not conform is... a real mask-off moment in a way I suspect is not going to get enough attention.
