Why is it they only have articles day of? It feels like they have a vested interest in making sure it is in public discourse without actually giving people any lead time.

What it often is, is they want an easy solution. The idea that things are bad isn’t lost on them, but when presented a choice between someone laying out a multistep plan and someone presenting a convenient scapegoat, they’re happy to run with the scapegoat every time.

It’s not even entirely an inherently conservative thing. Many of us can fall prey to it due to the fatigue of late stage capitalism and just running with something we want to believe without researching the underpinnings.

Ah yes, undecided voters.

I bet if we gave the national park system some nukes they could secure better funding!

As a trans person, I kinda don’t give a fuck. There’s so much going on at the national level, I don’t need them to devote speaking time to it. So long as I can continue to count on them when it matters, of course.

It’s irritating to see condescension and people being needlessly smug too.

Unemployment numbers are bullshit because it specifically drops any that haven’t found work in months.

Can we shorten it to PP2025? I feel like Progressive Project 2025 is kind of a mouthful.

So, open season for Biden to get some Supreme Court justices an “early retirement” then?

Yes and no. There is a wider public opinion fight that can be won. Many of the state laws are getting slammed through GOP supermajorities though.

Thomas and Alito prettymuch always just start from the result they want and work backwards.

And most importantly, it dodges any corporate liability, the company providing the ammo can say it wasn’t used as directed, and police can fall back on qualified immunity, and provide a vague statement about additional training.

Oh, hey, it’s this again.

Here’s a simple explanation.

The title reminds me of my silliest Reddit ban. I was banned for suggesting that Clarence Thomas be crushed by a sea mine.

Super old article.

It applies generally to anyone involved in a program receiving federal funding.

I’m not aware of any states where the attorney general can block introduction of legislation.

It really should have to pass some form of nonpartisan review before being able to be introduced. I hate that as a private citizen, I have to track possible legislation and make time during the day to tell them that it’s clearly unconstitutional, have them pass it anyways, and then wait between 2-10 years for the courts to tell them (maybe).

A ton also passed. A growing number are working their way through the courts. The “tide” has already made millions refugees in their own country. There is a long way to go on this, I’m afraid.
