Hell yeah

Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changeswww.washingtonpost.com The president has discussed the plans with constitutional scholars and members of Congress in recent weeks.

"Progressives believe that the way you win victories is by actively campaigning for them, usually against long odds." Occurs to me that, if we manage to win four more years of Biden Administration, it'll be even more beholden to progressives than it's been so far open.substack.com/pub/davekarp...

What The Campaign Is Foropen.substack.com Biden is the candidate. The stakes are existential. The whole point of a campaign is that poll numbers in July are not immutable destiny.

Secretarybird vs lappet-faced vulture!!! I just got back from a reporting trip to the Masai Mara. These were two of the birds I most wanted to see and never did I imagine I’d see one kicking the other in its lappety face. (Also, hello. Get ready for a month of Kenyan wildlife pics.)

If I say “anti-Blackness” and your response is “but I’m [marginalized]” you are part of the goddamn problem because I didn’t say shit about your marginalization, I was talking about anti-Blackness!

There are some nasty, bullying, anti-social malingerers on here who don't have friends who can tell them to shut up. I can be that friend for you: Shut up.

Isaac! At the Butler!

… even though we are running a historically unpopular incumbent who is by all accounts a rutabaga, we are this close to winning and with that negative drag on the polls we still are kicking ass in Senate races. Nothing about the next few months is inevitable.

I need everyone to remember that the right has had the majority of Americans turn out for their candidate exactly one time in the past 35 years, and that the GOP’s Congress members, also, represent a collective constituency far smaller than Democrats’.

People like Vance are why I don't see Trump simply as a cult of personality leading a movement that will die with him so much as an normalizer/enabler of the right's most base impulses. In fact I think they have many more viable people to pass the torch to than Dems, cuz they have a professed cause.

Reminder for no particular reason that no one knows how this election will turn out, no one can foresee how an event today will impact voters’ choices four months from now, and it is still incumbent on all of us to fight fascism and not acquiesce to doom.
