As I wrote on the other site: “Political violence has no place here. But all those things I said about Trump? Still true. He's also spent eight years encouraging violence. The fact it backfired on him doesn’t change that either.” There’s your message. This is on him. Make him wear it.

Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric

Also - Dear furry tech people: Heritage is run by people who are connected and well-resourced, although not necessarily all that sharp. So please remember that even if nothing else you did or know about is remotely illegal, it's a felony to lie to the feds and every day is STFU Friday, m'kay?

I support this move. It is unlikely to succeed, but making the need for it to succeed a political issue to motivate voting is important.

The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

Who's actually pushing violence? It's Trump, writes @maggieastor.bsky.social in this great NYT takedown of Kevin Roberts' "second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”" www.nytimes.com/2024/07/03/u...

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.

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

By the time the doctors in Boise put her on a plane for Salt Lake City, she’d already lost a liter of blood New standard of care just dropped:

The effects on behavior of people other than Trump could be pretty dangerous too bsky.app/profile/nste...

So there’s the decision as a legal document, and the legal consequences that come from it. Then there’s the message that MAGA supporters take from it. I bet some of them already see the message as “the law is ours now.” What will they do now? Will they allow black people in swing states to vote?

The Supreme Court’s ruling putting presidents above the law must be understood not simply as a grant of immunity for past crimes, but an enthusiastic endorsement of those he will commit if given the chance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.

It's not the worst of it, but what I may be actually angriest about (right now) is Roberts' smarmy smugness and dismissiveness in the final two paragraphs of section IV and the whole of section V. "Fear mongering," "extreme hypotheticals," "our perspective must be more farsighted," and this.

If you live in CA, both Butler and Padilla are on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Make time to call today. Then set a reminder in your phone to call again later this week. Then tell three friends to do the same.

Another thing you can do is call Dick Durbin's office and demand he stand up for democracy and haul Alito and Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And publicly demand their resignations. If you can't literally impeach them, AT LEAST use the bully pulpit. 202-224-2152.

I mean, after Trump reinstates Schedule F, the executive agencies really *won't* have any special expertise to draw on, so the Roberts court is just planning ahead.
