From @jamisonfoser.bsky.social: They say they want a revolution "America’s first revolution was against a king. Republicans want a second revolution to install one. They are threatening violence if they don’t get their way." www.findinggravity.net/p/they-say-t...

"Politics would be interesting again" is such a telling phrase, a sign that you're so insulated by money and power that it's all just entertainment for you.

Wild to watch horserace journalists suggest the most politically suicidal shit and pretend it's savvy. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Whatever you think about Biden, look at the New York Times. They are unabashedly cheerleading for him to drop out. We should never again think of the Times as a liberal or even a neutral paper. The NYT takes sides when they want to. When they don't take a side, that's a choice.

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

Just unfollowed someone so fast on the other site after they shared a post talmbout people being selfish for 'fearmongering' about Project 2025 in order to get people to vote Republicans' stated intentions are scary, but providing accurate info about them is not fearmongering! It's just the stakes!

The answer to political anxiety is political organizing.

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

I’ve been thinking about this 2016 thread a lot lately

"Essentially, the Court in Trump v. United States is declaring the Constitution itself unconstitutional. Instead of properly starting with the Constitution’s text and structure, the Court has ended up repealing them."

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

If you subscribe to a newsletter but later change your mind, just email the author and ask for a refund. Most of us will give you one. Really tired of people canceling by filing "fraud" disputes with their banks over a $6 charge. I get charged $15 for each dispute, whether I win or lose.

He knows, and for him it's a feature not a bug

John Roberts pretends not to know what Donald Trump will do with the immunity Roberts just gave him just like John Roberts pretended not to know what Republicans would do when John Roberts gutted the Voting Rights Act.

A jury said the Republican nominee for president, the guy almost singularly responsible for ending Roe, raped a woman and then defamed her for years—a nine-minute story.

Day 6 of “Biden had a bad first half of debate” leading the Boston Globe Trump SCOTUS declaring the president is an all-powerful king is briefly summarized on page 2

John Roberts must be the most neurotypical person in existence because the immunity ruling reads like someone who has never had a single “but what if…???” anxiety spiral in his life

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

It is YOUR standard, you're the one posting it at me. Now that it's been made clear how dumb and dishonest it is you're trying to say "hey it's not me, it's just capitalism, so nobody should criticize it!" Which is kind of a weird stance for a self-described "Unapologetic Marxist socialist."

I just saw an interview from nine months ago with ProPublica where he was cogent and lucid. I don’t see any evidence he’s capable of that nearly a week after the debate, even though I’m sure he and his team KNOW it would be helpful. Finally, it’s not MY standard. It’s what sells papers.

I don't have a high degree of confidence in my assessment of who the Democratic Party should nominate this year, nor do I have a high degree of confidence in anyone else's assessment, which is part of why I'm staying out of that conversation.

the first revolution was to get away from a king the GOP wants a second revolution to install one

🚨 Not a drill. The second coup attempt is well under way. 🚨

I could not disagree more strongly with the notion that the news media should not center Donald Trump's many flaws in its coverage of this campaign simply because the existence of those flaws has previously been reported. Also "Biden is old" ain't exactly unplowed ground, if that's the standard.

Trump lying isn’t news. It’s baked in already. Biden being so befuddled he proclaims “We finally beat Medicare” to the shock and horror of an entire nation is news.

The only thing I'm confident in predicting is this: "Democrats should nominate someone who isn't Joe Biden" "No, no. Not like that!"

All of our kids don’t have the option of giving up, & we put them here. I’ll never stop fighting for a better world for my baby. 💔❤️

something I've been thinking about lately that might be useful to some of y'all right now is that sometimes when you can't muster any optimism or hope you can decide to continue fighting anyway on behalf of others who still have some

what’s really going to be wild is if we ditch a sitting president for the second time in history based on a fullbore media and social media freakout and then everyone goes back to claiming media narratives don’t matter in politics

The more you read yesterday’s immunity decision, the more appalling it gets. My take: www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/o...

Opinion | The Supreme Court Creates a Lawless Presidencywww.nytimes.com It is increasingly clear that this court sees itself as something other than a participant in our democratic system.

IMO Trump’s ego would want a show election, not no election … and this SCOTUS might well let him run again despite that pesky “constitution” thing: www.findinggravity.net/p/americas-t...

Random thought while chopping veggies for dinner: Would this SCOTUS let Trump cancel the 2028 election if he got into office again in 2024

America's Trump 2028 Problemwww.findinggravity.net If the threat of violence keeps us from applying the constitution to Trump now, how will we do so later?
