“The law will never make men free; it is men who have got to make the law free. They are the lovers of law and order who observe the law when the government breaks it.“ -Henry David Thoreau, Slavery in Massachusetts

Any liberal legal advocacy group that isn’t desperately searching for parents to sue the shit out of their Florida/Texas school to stop their child being included in classes where the curriculum doesn’t promote DEI needs to hand their fucking law licenses to someone devious enough to fucking win.

Not a lawyer, but this guts that West Texas court that always issues Republican friendly nationwide injunctions too. Those should all be vacated, right? Promotes union membership and other collective action since you will be under the umbrella of a decision favoring that union or class.

Whomever eventually primaries Seth Moulton. We will need all the chow mein sandwich energy you can muster in your home town.

It’s also a way to publicly and verifiably build coalitions around actual issues, which is the thing people (myself included) really want when they talk about breaking the two party system. Mamdani owes Lander and his supporters now, publicly, and about real things. That makes a difference.

Absolutely filmable, but I can’t imagine you could get a faithful adaptation made. A huge portion of the audience would be going there to cheer on Glanton the Judge, and my gods you would have memes that would bleed people’s eyes. Trump and Vance praising the Glanton gang and calling the Kid woke.

See, that’s one thing you theoretically couldn’t really get in trouble for. Speech and debate clause.

1. Call your reps about Trump's violation of the War Powers Act
2. Demand Congress haul Hegseth etc. in for hearings/briefings on justification
3. Demand to know why the Gang of Eight was not kept in the loop.
Do it NOW.

When a 12.5% yield on your brand new 4 billion in debt turns out to have been a ridiculous underpricing of risk.

It’s an underused format for telling a story these days. And a great writing exercise.

People like this dickhead are why I tend to believe private ownership of slaves will be legal again in some portion of the current US before I die. The public Juneteenth denialism too, but mostly the inability to see black slaves in the antebellum as human. Just video game sprites to them.

nothing whatsoever. You have to trust and verify much as you can the people who run the list and they can and some will abuse that trust. Was a problem for email and RBLs, Me Too spreadsheets, any kind of blacklist. Just that sometimes it’s use imperfect blacklists or things become untenable.

Half the governing coalition wasn’t angry because they were trying to launch a civil war at the same time as the people trying to launch a foreign war.

I’ve never donated to Markey, so I don’t get this shit from him, but if I wasn’t already planning to not vote for Markey in the primary, this would definitely seal the deal against him for me. But I’m an unusually vindictive Masshole.

His hands never move from their grip on each other. Literally holding it together.

> 50% of the protesters at the smaller one I've been to are straight up retired. Another ~25% or more are middle aged to upper middle aged. People younger than 30 very rare, even on big days. If you're not going to a big city protest, even now, I'd be shocked if there's more than a scuffle or two.
