This isn’t true at all. White politicians have been more than willing to get physical every single time something happens that they don’t like. Democrats are just currently run by weak leaders who care more about being comfortable than having principled stances on anything.

like the dictators they worship, the american right cannot distinguish between the aesthetic and appearance of power and actual power

Scene at Treasury

This is an excellent summary of our situation, which is quite bad. It’s not just that they’re breaking laws. They’re breaking laws that are centrally important to our constitutional order and are constitutive of its identity. They are targeting the best parts of what democracy has built here.

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

I'm glad members of Congress are taking action and trying to enter these buildings, but they can't take no for an answer, even if it means getting arrested.

The one thing they should be doing is forcing whoever these people are stopping them to arrest them.

Denied by whom???? Sorry but they need to be prepared to be escorted out in handcuffs if they’re serious about this. Make. A. Scene.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

this is exactly what i’m getting at when i see these people have no understanding of civil society. they do not seem to conceptualize other people as having agency whatsoever.

A worthy read.... daily.jstor.org/in-the-ladie...

Apparently I'm the Tony Hawk of wrongful conviction.

Didja hear about the nagging wife with the magnificent coiffure? She was a hairidan. <Shows self out.>

Canada should rename Lakes Superior and Huron to Lake Canada and Lake Canada 2.

Teenagers think other teenagers they're into are ghosting them till they grow up and have to coordinate with a general contractor and learn what a true ghosting feels like

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

our longest living president…. this one fr hit different. sorry for the spam guys 🕊️🖤 #sadness #longlife #usa

Dear kind friends: I, at seven years old, idolized President Carter. I had no idea why. But throughout my five decades literally no one has met the challenge like he did, and definitely no one has taken more shit. If you remotely care about the guy, read Kai Bird's *excellent* bio.

Rest in Power to Jimmy Carter, the first sitting President to call for ending federal #marijuana prohibition back in 1977. “Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself,” - Jimmy Carter www.nytimes.com/1977/08/03/a...

endlessly funny to me that of all the things elon musk can buy the one thing he cannot buy and will never be able to do is write a good post on a microblogging website

-Jimmy Carter lived longer than any president in our nation’s history. -He left office and lived through another 11 presidential terms. -He was only 18 years older than our current president.

Impeccable timing, President Carter. RIP.

It’s wild how many people watch videos on their phones without headphones in public places now.

Maybe what's wrong with America is as simple as that people think sports commentators have literally anything interesting or informative to say.

If trumpers would ever pick up a book they might learn about historical examples of dying empires that try to delay the inevitable with expansion. Spoiler alert: It never works.

Has anyone in the past couple years has asked Elon if he views South African Apartheid as bad, and if not, why haven’t they asked him that?

let go for a moment

I would actually encourage people to read up on the history of the 1880s and 90s. Careful, though, not to get any blood from the pages on you.

hot frosty sounds like something you’d hear in a ron jeremy deposition

"More people died from homelessness than homicide in Nashville this year.” A friend shared this photo from yesterday's memorial at Riverfront Park.
