I keep saying this over and over again, screaming into the void: a good portion of the outrageous stuff that is going on under the assumption it will never be prosecuted by Trump’s DOJ *also could be prosecuted by state AGs or local DAs*.

I don’t really believe that the musk -miller affair is real but I think we should keep saying it is bc it’s demoralizing to them and it does minimal damage to our epistemological hygiene

This may literally be the ugliest top I’ve ever seen in my life

This is the position of unitary executive theorists and it makes very little sense

Obergefell was the last great victory of American liberalism to date. It’s been a decade of losses.

I’ve never understood the narrative that a ten-year old 5-4 decision on a cultural fault line was particularly safe from revision

I’m getting 2009 death panel vibes

Venezuelans fleeing Bolivarist socialism would have been the most reliable Republican voters since Cubans, but the Trump people are so overwhelmed with race hate they’d rather ruin their lives for no reason

I can't believe Vance would just erase Nazi scientists like this given how big of a fan he is of Nazis.

An incredibly devastating decision which simply ignores the human costs and blesses the Trump admin's stripping of status of hundreds of thousands of people who entered the country legally — which the explicit stated goal of rapidly deporting those people without a court hearing.

Fedsoc,,,,,,welcome to the resistance

He might be a Nazi, but don’t worry, he’s also only three years out of law school

One thing I’ve noticed reading a lot of the gofundmes is that a large portion go through intermediaries in Belgium specifically

The same people who call you an idiot liberal who doesn’t understand opsec bc you didn’t wear a mask to a public protest are telling you this is fine.

No. 8: Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right, by Jennifer Burns (audio book). KYE’s reading recommendations continue not to miss. A magisterial exploration of the life of a deeply weird person, who, through sheer willpower and intransigence made herself a power in American culture.

It also makes Immerwahr’s both-sides piece in the New Yorker look even worse

This is a Nazi term, used in the same context as the Nazis. There's no even scintilla of doubt here. The State Department is opening an official Office For Doing Nazi Ethnic Cleansing. Marco Rubio should be hounded out of every public space, forever, by screaming outrage.

Guy who wants to destroy every institution of public life you care about bc he thinks the PMC are satanic vampires : how can you let politics get in the way of friendship

I wonder if explicitly saying you’re doing this hurts with older voters tho, given they vote disproportionately

He’s rhetorically worse but I still think it’s possible Trump will be practically better on Gaza than Biden was. Literally the only area I think he might be better in

Tbh I understand how someone could get like that. So much of being a stupid person online is getting angry at posts and saying “someone should do something!!!!” If you’re in power, you can do the something

I'm getting a good grade at posting
