Hey what do you know about this very obvious thing; do you think treating the very existence of a viable Muslim candidate as de facto antisemitic might be a white supremacist op, or www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

I can see why it would concern Democratic leadership, that the same sense of hope for positive change that used to attend Democratic candidates defeating Republicans in elections now attends new Democratic candidates defeating established Democratic candidates in primaries, and for the same reasons.

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Just to be clear; when you put this way, it suggests the Roberts Court amended the American Constitution yesterday to eliminate a tool courts have used to rein in executive overreach, and chose to do so right now in order assist the consolidation of a reactionary dictatorship.

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

Thinking about the tut-tutting Democratic politicians who spent their two years in power warning that Supreme Court expansion was too radical an idea to even think about taking seriously. You absolute fucking rubes. You gigantic, credulous losers. I hope you are ashamed of yourselves today.

The Court had no problem with nationwide injunctions from District judges when, say, the Biden administration used its explicit statutory authority to "waive or modify" student loan payments, but when Trump wants to nullify the explicit text of the Fourteenth Amendment the practice must end

Birthright ctizienship is good and essential and we're going to need a second Reconstruction to undo the combined damage of the Roberts Court and the second Trump administration.

Funny how the US has basically the government of Iran now: Supreme Leader who rules by decree, priestly council with token opposition that decides whether the decisions are okay or not on arcane scriptural grounds, and completely ceremonial legislature

there was a time when some small tweaks to how justices were nominated and things like ditching the filibuster and admitting DC as a state were all that was needed to shore up our system of government. but both parties have allowed the rot to fester and now we need to re-do the foundations

Litmus Tests are good, actually, and "Do you support court reform" is an example of a particularly good one. "Keep voting Blue and eventually we will get the courts back, best case scenario, could be as soon as 30-40 years from now" is not a plan. The people who said it was lied to you.

And we need a real opposition party that makes this a central plank of its national platform.

I’m clearly not a lawyer so this isn’t legal analysis, but thinking as someone who studies institutions & contentious politics, I’d say we could understand the Supreme Court as having suspended the constitution—it operates to the extent that lower courts & states enforce it despite the Supreme Court

if constitutional rights only apply to individuals or states that have sued for relief, you don't actually have constitutional _rights_, you have _privileges_ that can sometimes (but not always) be secured for you by your lawyer

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

I have serious, possibly irreconcilable differences with anyone who thinks Zohran Mamdani winning the NYC mayoral primary is a bigger threat to the Democratic Party than the shit being churned out by the Neo-Confederates on the Supreme Court

Democrats held a trifecta four years ago. We could have had court reform. We all said "please give us court reform." Pelosi & Schumer killed it.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”
