Fantastic protest and awareness art. Perfect leveraging of the global audience of the Olympics .

But it’s not deniable if you do it that way

lol can you imagine if her nomination leads to winning a bunch of states in the south that are considered “safe red” these days? That’d be wild. I know there are obstacles to that happening but still.

Antimonopoly enforcement when?

_{never, of course}

I feel like she literally did exactly that yesterday. She had an entirely separate meeting with Bibi, and shortly afterward her public statement had the very strong implication that her policy was very much not going to be the carte blanche that Biden seems ok with. She specifically mentioned Palestinian casualties and refugees. She’s not disregarding Israeli civilian welfare either. I’m not sure what else could be asked for, in this context - a context where you must be a bit cautious of pissing off AIPAC because you don’t want them to open the floodgates of their very deep pockets against you.

It’s just nice that we’re leaning away from gerontocracy again, at least a little bit.

Fantastic explanation and diagram inclusion

She is M2F. She is a she. Elon insists on misgendering and deadnaming his own child.

Incidentally, I’m gonna keep deadnaming his company as long as he keeps that up.

Yep. The system is, pleasantly, working as designed, and it seems to be working well.

That has to be one of the more coherent and logical nuanced explanations of how to actually implement a system like that that I’ve ever heard from one of our politicians (and tbh it seems fairly obvious to me). I’m glad she’s got her head on straight in this regard.

It seems like it’d be difficult to sneak a Dutch or dairy-related pun pasteurize

Yeah, but the thing is, I really don’t think either Biden or Harris will take it lying down if the SC tries to straight up enable a coup. It would be categorically indefensible, even to Biden, who’s been frustratingly milquetoast in pushing back against their very obviously biased decisions of recent years.

Lmao you absolute muppet. This is just Paris doing Paris things. The Olympics generally bring a lot of annoying and negative side effects to a city and region, in addition to (and often, because of) the increased tourism. Parisians and the French in general are famously unapologetic about engaging in direct action when they think their government is being a bunch of dumbasses, or they wish to express staunch displeasure with a policy or event that they strongly disagree with. This is just that.

He is deeply misogynistic. He doesn’t understand - and is in fact frightened by - intelligent, incisive, and competent women.

Precisely. I stopped supporting them when I found those articles.

There’s a flaw in the core premise of their argument, and it goes to the intent of equality that should (and I consider to) be an intrinsic intent of the Bill of Rights and its amendments:

• Speech is not subject to the law of scarcity, thus it is free (as in beer); any person with a steady supply of air, food, and water can speak indefinitely if they so wish. Thus, any citizen can engage in speech indefinitely, in theory.
• Money-as-speech is subject to the law of scarcity, and thus normal citizens can run out of it. Only the ultra wealthy can truly just spend money without real concern for how much they have left. Thus, the wealthy have a disproportionately larger (by several orders of magnitude) amount of money-as-speech available to them, by simple virtue of the fact that they’re crazy rich. Rich people can “speak” in this context essentially indefinitely, while normal people cannot; this is obvious, fundamental, and definitely not equal or egalitarian.

The fact that the ACLU straight up refuses to acknowledge any of this is absolutely asinine, in my opinion. CU is the foundation of a LOT of issues in our modern politics. It basically made it legal to buy elections.

Oh wow… ngl I am looking forward to hearing more from her. I know this is partially me being silly, but my vibe is weirdly slightly similar to 2008? Like, I know I'm probably just being overly optimistic, but at the same time… if she is now taking the gloves off because she’s gonna be the top dog… this is gonna be really interesting and potentially awesome to watch.

God damn she might actually start to regain the trust of the Arab American Midwest communities that have recently been crucial to winning the election. It’s nice to have someone with a more modern and balanced stance. It’s not perfect, but it’s a LOT further in the direction of good than Biden on that point.

Perhaps he and his brain trust are somehow thinking they should abandon democratic process and peaceful transition of power altogether and actually try to stage a literal coup. Watch what the legislative leadership does. Johnson in particular. He’ll probably try some sketchy bullshit on January 6, 2025.

No <3

do not. touch. my FUCKING. BOATS.

Sorry, sorry. Got a bit heated there.
