the fascists believe that they can tear up american democracy at the roots and after we'll all have to fall in line "because it's the law." but the power of the law is a function of the legitimacy of the law. the state's monopoly on force is posterior to the people's adherence to the state!

Trump’s public schedule showed that on most days, he worked (“worked”), like three hours a day. And this isn’t even a “Biden can’t work late at night” issue. It’s a Biden is pulling back on SCHEDULED EVENTS that start after 8pm, which is actually a good idea for most people.

If you want to solve problems and improve people’s lives, you have to spend five years and over $100 million writing a 45,000 page report and listen to over 70,000 comments. If you want things to suck the way they always have, you just ask a couple people at a diner. apple.news/Abm1XoGZJRvK...

Anybody that thinks a vote for Biden is anything other than a vote for stable continuity is kidding themselves. Even if he totally loses on his deathbed, he's still going to be a big-hearted lib that really wants the best for everybody, even if you think he's going about it the wrong way.

The Democratic Party’s reaction to their candidate having a bad debate substantially outpaces the Republican Party’s reaction to their candidate being convicted of multiple felonies, held liable for rape, and owing judgments in the hundreds of millions for defamation and fraud.

Feeling happy imagining Trump trying to do the traditional election day photo op at the polls, and being arrested on camera by Floridian police for trying to vote as a felon

Had the misfortune of finding some loathsome Fox article extolling the wonders of the UF way, from Scott to Sasse to the UPD, with the likes of Chris Rufo and Hanania weighing in with "expert" opinions on how superior it is to Columbia. As a Gator, just shameful and sickening to see UF used so.

Look, I'm not saying we should definitely let cargo ships pollute sulfur again, but we should at very least consider it.

I only watched the back half of this SOTU, but Biden is fired up and great. Have coworkers shit talk him as senile based on a few cherry picked clips, and hell he was not my pick in the primary. But the Biden admin is the best of my life and I'm glad to see him out there fighting.

New data through December shows wage growth strongly outpacing inflation. While the reduced gap between non-managerial vs managerial wages has remained (a good thing!), 2023 was a time of broad-based growth in real wages for most workers. An American success story!
