I like to panic as much as any Democrat, but my general view still holds: SCOTUS gave Dems a tailwind with Dobbs. We haven't even started the wall-to-wall attack ads of Trump bragging about ending Roe v. Wade. When that happens in September and October, there will be a big movement away from Trump.

The US media is completely broken. If Biden were in a coma, his health would not be as big a deal as SCOTUS bringing back kings and a nominee with a vast criminal portfolio.

many things make me angry about the supreme court but one of the biggest things is just that none of those cowards in the gang of six will ever take real questions from the public

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Yes. Disagree and I’ll block you in an instant

Things are bad but all the more reason for optimism of the will and rejection of doomerism and nihilism. Only way out is through.

frankly, the first defeat that we can hand them, in November, is the easiest possible one we are going to be offered, and we'd be fools not to make it happen.

Been saying for years: Netanyahu is at best callously indifferent to the diaspora and happy to ally with those who hate us. At worst, he thinks it’s a positive good to make out lives worse so as to encourage Aliyah. Ethnonationalists believe that like belongs with like.

The far-right National Rally leader is unconditionally opposed by French Jewish groups for her party's historic antisemitism. Israel's diaspora affairs minister, however, is 'impressed' by her positions, adding that Netanyahu is seemingly 'of the same opinion' www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

"Biden is too old" is an excuse "never trump" Republicans will use to vote for an outright fascist. And they'd find an excuse regardless of who was on the ticket

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

Biden in NC today: "I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to ... [but] I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job ... I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up!"

I took off my Chevron post specifically because this is an important and correct distinction that I knew and fucked up. Everything else stands though - the agency’s interpretation of the authorizing statute (which gives it authority to act) is deferred to under Chevron. /1

You're confusing Chevron (deference to agency's interpretation of an ambiguous statute authorizing the agency to act) and Seminole Rock / Auer (deference to an agency's interpretation of its own ambiguous regulation). Auer was upheld (narrowly) in 2019.

The Supreme Court's most radical move in the past two decades has been to assume power that was historically wielded by other branches and to place absurdly particular limits on the way those branches exercise the power left to them to the extent that the Court effectively takes that power, too

Importing this @volts.wtf thread from the bad place. It opens with a link to a piece that used official data to establish that yes, crime rates are indeed very much down recently. But here’s the thing, Project 2025’s Trump 2.0 promises to destroy that world in which we can “know” things like this.
