Abraham Lincoln, who was not president at the time of the Dred Scott ruling, obviously did not do this. He didn’t even advocate ignoring the outcome the way the Trump administration is doing. He advocated treating it as only binding on the particular parties.

Harvard has to fight rather than appease. For its own sake—giving in to fascist threats doesn't make them go away, it makes them demand more—and for higher ed in the US more broadly. If Harvard folds, others will follow their lead, and the exec branch will have more resources free to go after them.

Merrick Garland didn't prosecute the McVeigh case - he just told half truths and in some cases out and out lied about it to advance his career. To truly understand what happened with Garland and his "fumbling" of Trump's prosecution, you need to read this article by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

very easy to see what is happening. trump will run for a third term, he’ll try to bring the dispute to federal courts, where his election denying judges will rewrite the 22nd amendment to mean it only refers to “consecutive” terms.

As a former @gibsondunn.bsky.social press lawyer, paying millions to settle this case would be a bribe, and should subject any decision-maker at Paramount not only to shareholder suits but to eventual criminal prosecution. As the CBS brief said, the case is meritless. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Our soldiers are great. They did what they were asked to do just as they were asked to do it. The reason the bombing Trump ordered in Iran was one of the biggest failures—yes, failures—in modern US military history is because the whole idea was ill-conceived by Trump and others.
