I keep hearing that the Democrats have too many purity tests - but not seeing a lot of evidence. goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/are-democr...

This is a solid point, and it's why we need to spend a lot more time educating people about the collapse of Reconstruction and the reemergence of violent white supremacism beginning in the 1870s. I assume that's what Williams means?

I've posted an updated draft (with a new title) of my paper, "The Unitary Executive and Politics." I'm looking forward to discussing it at the ABA Administrative Law Conference in DC next month. Comments are welcome! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

We do not have to take Trump’s bait on DEI, because they do not care about some policies being “problematic.” They are disengenously using DEI to target civil rights protections, DEI is a prextext, and it is not reasonable to concede they have a point when it only helps their reactionary push.

There is nobody they can't play this game with. "He was no angel," well no shit none of us are, welcome to the human race. But still they've been flailing desperately trying to smear Abrego Garcia, being less effective at it than they probably could with you or me if we were in their sights.

In 2002, when Washington moved to create a new Department of Homeland Security, a lot of us were like “😬😬😬 are you sure you want to concentrate that much power in an internal security agency, what if it gets politicized and captured? What if a future president just lies and uses it against people?”

Far right MAGA dittohead John Kennedy sure does not sound enthusiastic about or confident in Trump's economic leadership right now.

every protest or march or action shows people that if they act, others will have their back. it may not be a 100% credible signal or guarantee, but it's a signal.
