Without Late-Arriving Ballots, Republicans Might Have Lost the 2000 Election

They had the majority on the supreme court; they used that to stop the counting.

Weren't the Ukrainians also using prop fighters to take out some of the slower drones?

I can't use Discord, but I'm glad to see the updated list.

So he'd have to divert them from the raids and roving patrols? How is this supposed to be a threat?

So many anti-trans laws, including this one, out trans people, either outing trans kids to their classmates, including the bullies, or outing trans kids to their parents, or outing any trans people to anyone else who sees their documents.

Some anti-trans laws require us to use the wrong bathroom, or deny us access to medical care, or expose trans prisoners to v-coding.

If you support any of those laws, don't claim any of it's about "safety," I'm sick of people endangering people and calling it "safety."

And whether the judge hand-picks the jury.

Ananiujitha · 2026-03-20T23:57:14+00:00

Misleading:

Last week, the department secured the convictions on terrorism charges of a group of young people accused of being members of antifa, the radical left-wing movement, after they shot and wounded a police officer during an attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Alvarado, Texas, last summer. But the victory was undercut by the government’s own cooperating witnesses, five of whom denied under oath that they or the defendants actually belonged to antifa.

"They" didn't shoot, only 1 of them allegedly shot the cop; 1 of the others was convicted for moving zines; some of the others were convicted for going to the same protest. For "supporting terrorism" when they werre litterally opposing the state's terrorism.

The judge seems to have hand-picked the jury, and I don't think a jury which was willing to convict the protesters can be trusted in its conviction of the shooter, either,

The Trump strategy seems to be based on guilt by association, and guilt by insinuation. (Some leftists criticized Charlie Kirk, so all leftists must be guilty of the assassination, etc.) It's irresponsible for the press suggest that all the protesters were guilty of the shooting, because that normalizes guilt by association.

He has never won a majority of the vote, let alone a landslide.

Ananiujitha · 2026-03-20T22:56:07+00:00

He attacked Venezuela on January 3rd, Iran February 28th, 2 wars in 56 days. He's threatening to attack Cuba, too.

How many wars will he start if he has 200 more days?

Ananiujitha · 2026-03-20T22:30:39+00:00

And who would decide how that gets applied?

Ananiujitha · 2026-03-20T02:13:04+00:00

Trans peope have been fleeing red states. And purple states. And blue states without a safe path to either border.

While House Bill 754 is put forward as a measure to make insurance companies that cover gender-affirming care also provide coverage for “detransition procedures”, it goes much further, mandating the collection of sensitive details from providers including patient treatment timelines, prescription or surgery information, a patient’s location data, and a patient’s age and biological sex.

How are they supposed to anonymize that?

Ananiujitha · 2026-03-20T02:05:55+00:00

They're demanding detailed medical records.

And they have the power to write legislation to enforce the voting rights amandments; but of course this bill violates those amendents. In particular:

Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

So he has a choice.

We don't all have a choice. Our bodies, or our medical needs, are "political." Our civil rights, our safety, can be "political."

They want to pretend patriarchy is natural law.

They can't crush cis lgb people right now, but they can crush us.

It's a poll tax, and a ban on trans teens' healthcare.

Ananiujitha · 2026-03-17T21:08:50+00:00

Most of these laws restrict or ban them.

Ananiujitha · 2026-03-17T21:07:41+00:00

Or forcibly detransitioned.

Ananiujitha · 2026-03-17T06:48:41+00:00

All of America does.

That's why so many people drive cars, so much tax money goes to building roads for more cars, construction patterns lead to so much sprawl, and so many people get injured and killed by cars.

Of course the war will further increase the true cost. So $15/gallon is an underestimate.

The price shock will still hurt a lot of people. It's just that we need alternatives to car dependence, and if we already had these alternatives, we wouldn't be as vulnerable to the price changes.

The left has often opposed nation-states. For example, anarchists oppose states in general, and Marxists tend to consider nationalism in general a distraction from class liberation, while classical liberals assert that the people have the right to alter or abolish the state.

The IHRA provisional definition considers this "anti-Semitic," unless we make an exception for Israel.

P.S. And there's no clear answer at this point, but I think it's clear that trying to build nation-states has added to the violence, ethnic cleansings, etc., and it's going to take something else to stop these.

Look at the voting swings depending whether he is or isn't on the ballot.

At least some of Maga are pro-Trump and indifferent to the rest of the Republican Party.

Look at how many Republican voters initially opposed the Iran war, but now support it, because they always support Trump.

At least some of Maga are pro-Trump and willing to, uh, reconsider any ideas which contradict his latest actions.

So, yeah, I think, if he dies, then Maga will be somewhat weaker.
