You have no idea how he's gonna vote. He could vote exactly the same as Collins. You just don't know. All you do truly know is he is a liar. And you're willing to give a pass to a guy with a Nazi tattoo who treats women like garbage. OK then.

*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

whenever you get mad at supreme court decisions, i want to remind you that half of the fuckers dragging us back to the stone age were nominated by these two guys, not trump, and that the rot is far more extensive than just trump

one of the projects of the court is to expand the ability of states to pursue reactionary ends and constrain the ability of the federal government to set minimum standards *or* of democratic-led states to expand upon existing rights

🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court ALLOWS states to defund Planned Parenthood, holding that Medicaid does not give patients a right to obtain care from its providers. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

when women can choose, they choose to have significantly fewer kids whether they're in Norway or Japan, and I'm not certain there's anything that counters that, no matter how generous the state is. Many women don't want to be mothers, and that's their right and should come first.

this is about America but it has also been notable that a) the Chinese government have been trying really hard to raise the birth rate for the last few years, b) this has been accompanied by increasingly heavy handed patriarchy and anti-feminism, c) the project has completely failed.

I don't really have anything especially profound to say, but yeah man this is it. They won't obey even the most milquetoast SCOTUS orders and are talking about sending US citizens to foreign gulags. It's happened here.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

People who want to imagine that the dems have A Plan remember that they didn't have any response to dobbs even after it was leaked. I don't mean an effective response, i mean no response

The ending of Joe Biden’s presidency is one of the most cringeworthy things I think I’ve ever seen in American politics. Very good domestic policy on many fronts but just absolute timidity and norms embracing in a way that exposes the weakness of the party and something they don’t wanna change.
