  • Didn’t the SC just decide a couple weeks ago that only the SC is allowed to issue a nationwide injunction? Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad the judge here issued the injunction, but I also fail to see how this won’t just be summarily ignored or overruled by the SC.

  • I’m low key pretty concerned about Mamdani’s safety - between (essentially official, government-supported) expressions of stochastic terrorism, to weaponization of immigration law and enforcement, to straight up assassination attempts by far right wing-nuts, I will honestly be very pleasantly surprised if he makes it to the election without someone trying something pretty serious.

    And to be clear, I do hope he makes it to the election, and wins, and that his term as mayor makes it blindingly obvious to the vast majority of people that Mamdani’s tactics are the clear way forward. I’m also just fully aware that we’re in the “kicking and screaming” phase with reactionaries, and that those same people are running shit now.

  • More broadly: you may have heard of this ideology referred to previously as “Christian Dominionism”. Which, imo, has been a clear and present existential danger to - and a strongly negative influence on - the integrity of American culture and politics since the Bush era.

  • Or do, but understand the safe dosage thresholds and the long term usage implications, and act accordingly and with moderation to reasonably protect yourself if you engage in such activity.

    You’re not going to lose your mind if you go to burning man and go on a bit of a bender. But you will probably lose your mind if you make party drugs a daily habit.

  • Honestly, it’s constituencies like Cruz’s that I have essentially zero sympathy for. The fact that he keeps getting reelected when he’s an extremely obvious limpdick, servile, malicious fascist is a reflection on the caliber of the voters across the state. So, hope you enjoy all those catastrophic weather events that are definitely not caused by totally-made-up-and-definitely-not-real-or-life-threatening climate change (/s because internet)
