“Why would Hamas do this!” -Zionists, probably

Does that mean we’re in for an influx of br*tish people?

Would the WARN Act come into play here?

We know it’s gonna be some bullshit if the major questions doctrine is being rolled out.

TL;DR right-wing judges made this up to strike down presidential actions they don’t like. Conveniently, there’s no real test for what a major question is.

I’m doing my part! (with an all-AMD setup)

Would that be why there seems to be so much Deutschposting on platforms like Mastodon and Lemmy?

Again with the Claremont Institute weirdos! If someone these days is saying something medieval or more in place in Saudi Arabia, they are probably connected to the Claremont Institute

Meloni is a fascist pig

Gender affirming care bans haven’t had a great time standing up in federal court in the past decade or so.

Groups like the ACLU and Lambda Legal have gone to great lengths to establish precedent that gender doesn’t have to be defined at birth, gender dysphoria is a genuine medical condition, and that gender affirming care helps with dysphoria.

That, combined with the precedent in Bostock that sexuality and gender identity can be covered by bans on sex discrimination makes it look like these bans will continue to fail when challenged.

Granted, the Federalist Society ghouls and their friends know this too and are trying to push back. Also, the Supreme Court could rule on 303 Creative v. Elenis tomorrow and absolutely devastate LGBT protections in the name of religious freedom. That would make this comment irrelevant almost immediately. As for now, we’ll probably see a lot more bans fail in federal court though

Who even has the vessels that can go deep enough to rescue them? This is the stuff of nightmares

Huffman / spez is trying to follow the same outrage farming playbook that countless other rich guys like Trump and Musk have followed.

1. Gain money and/or control over something prominent that more or less works
2. Identify targets that you want to hurt or screw over
3. Make big changes that damage the thing you control with no time for your targets to adjust
4. When your targets complain or protest, double down and don’t apologize or change course
5. Cultivate a critical mass of smoothbrained useful idiots that enjoy the way you stick to your guns and hurt others
6. ???
7. Profit. Literally. You’ll have a smaller base, but they’re loyal and you can make money off of them.

The question is whether spez will get to step 5. He’s already gotten to step 4.
