“i feel stupid. and contagious. here we are now. entertain us.” perhaps our music was prescient.

i love the smell of liberation in the morning.

Hello fellow Gen-X-ers. It is us they have murdered. Older boomers are probably too late for the cures this deep in the pipeline. Millennials and Gen-Z-ers might get lucky, might see the pipeline rebuilt in time for their cancers. But the cures that might have saved us? Say b’bye!

There are illegal things candidates want to do because it yields them electoral advantage. Like vote buying. If you say it’s undemocratic to enforce the law if the people would want to vote for the candidate, you’re encouraging candidates to go all-in on illegal tactics to buy or win votes.

it’s called flooding the zone with shit. the thing about this movement is it’s very candid about how it operates. Chris Rufo patiently explains exactly how he means to misrepresent terms in order to attach politically useful emotion to them. yet it still “works”.

what would be the appropriate due process under our laws for sending someone into enslavement for an indefinite, perhaps life, term, without possibility of appeal or parole?

there’s nothing more lawless than a law-and-order party.
