The reason they keep quoting panicked donors in the "Biden is DOOOOMED" story is that the donors are all extremely online and watch cable news etc and so its just a feedback loop. You make a new story in the NYT out of the donors repeating shit they read in the NYT

It's still my birthday so I'm going to ask you to do me a favour, okay? Stop right now & take 5 deep breaths, as deep as you can, pressing your held breaths down into your diaphragm before releasing. Do it like this: Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, out for 4 seconds. Got it? Five times

A useful historical perspective on political violence, from NY TImes in 1969 "violence was deeply ingrained in the American tradition and ... virtually every group had used it for protection or to gain an end. ... [It's] the proven American formula for getting things done."

Team Biden has just circulated excerpts of his speech tonight in Detroit, and folks, he is making Project 2025 a campaign centerpiece.

There’s a presidential candidate who organized a coup on live TV and was recently convicted of dozens of felonies for something entirely separate, and the political system is demanding his opponent step down.

If Biden stays in the race - as I believe he will - I'll vote for him. If he withdraws for some reason, I'll vote for whoever takes his place, even if it's a Bob Ross Chia Pet, as long as they're surrounded by a smart team who cares about people. The only nightmare scenario is the return of Tr*mp,

I swear to fucking God if democracy dies in 2025 it won't be because Biden had one bad debate. It'll be because he had one bad debate and everyone decided the world was ending and they had to light their hair on fire and run around naked in the streets.

Refusing to teach union history won't keep the disenfranchised from seeking violence to correct the injustice, it will only keep them from knowing how to transition past that violence to what comes after.

Before SCOTUS' ruling, here's our historian's brief which argues there is no basis in founding era history for the idea that presidents should enjoy immunity. In fact, the founders believed that presidents should be accountable under the rule of law. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

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!"

Eleven years ago, SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act in #ShelbyCounty, arguing that "things have changed" since the 1960s. Today, we know that things have changed since this ruling: namely, that the turnout gap exploded in formerly-covered places 1/n www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

This is why the history of Reconstruction feels so relevant to many US historians these days. The years between 1865 and 1877 witnessed a dramatic and consequential increase in the number of Black elected officials in the South. Post-1877 that trend was reversed. time.com/6145193/blac...
