I just want to say, I think it's a mistake to focus on the fact that Roberts didn't overrule Bostock this time. I get the desire for a silver lining, but trans people and all Americans are rapidly losing our constitutional protections and I think it's a mistake to pretend it's not really happening.

A few hours ago, I told Asharq News that Israel would not strike Iran. It would go against US interests. It would ignite a regional war. It would not stop the nuclear program. It was strategically stupid. Just because something is stupid doesn't mean a country won't do it. Prepare for the worst.

The strategy is to do your Constitutionally-approved job and make them stop you. Make them show the world that they violate the Constitution. Make them show where they draw the lines and how they want to exercise power.

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.

it is sort of funny that trumpism is the exact system they were trying to avoid and yet none of their institutional fixes to prevent this worked time to think about this

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

Love that my middle kid thinks that Marion Crane is the true psycho in #Psycho because she eats her sandwich with a fork and doesn’t let the water heat up first when she’s in the shower.
