Ignore the rule of law. Manipulate the language. Intimidate the press. Rid the government of all possible opposition. Stock it with incompetent supplicants. Make the military your personal guard. Repress cultural expression. Embrace white supremacy and fellow dictators. It happened here.

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

When people ask how is Israel inciting antisemitism around the world, this is how. The glorious Star of David, a symbol of one of the great Abrahamic faiths, being used by a rogue state as cover for its torture and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, detainees, and hostages.

Before anything this was inconceivable. But now? Select targets and kill. The damage caused by the ineffectiveness and of Democrats in Congress. And we hate everything they say institutionally. It’s because killing in the name of our Democracy is too far. Are we sure?

Don't worry, next time there's a major conflict, the Pentagon won't set into motion an intricate strategy that effectively coordinates the work of military resources across the globe. No, they'll just send this greasy dipshit out there to do some wicked deadlifts. That'll do it.

Halftime show is a good reminder that the left will always win culture. Always. Art comes from curiosity, novelty, openness, the ability to understand & juxtapose multiple perspectives simultaneously, surprise & irony & layered meanings, all of which are alien to the authoritarian mind.

Professional historians survey the historical record and draw conclusions out of the sum total of evidence they survey. In sharp contrast, "originalists" [sic] start with a conclusion they want to justify and then scour the historical record to find some way to prop that up.

Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre. Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

The great irony is that even if Covid was a Chinese bioweapon released deliberately by the CCP, for which there is ZERO evidence, & even the CIA isn’t claiming it was a deliberate leak… why was Trump heaping praise on Xi & China for much of the start of the pandemic? www.politico.com/news/2020/04...

A hiring freeze is one thing; rescinding accepted offers of employment is just being cruel for the sake of being cruel, and upending the lives of countless young lawyers (and others) who now have to scramble to find alternative employment (including, perhaps, in entirely different cities).

The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

In the same way the media treated Trump as a normal candidate -- because, hey, one of the two parties nominated him, so he must be ok -- they're also treating his more insane ideas as rational because, hey, the president proposed it, it must have some merit.

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.
