And, like, I've buried the lede a bit with this example and I don't want you to miss it; this is a plan to prosecute university officials for "reverse discrimination"

I think this bullet point gets at the dichotomy of Project 2025. Anybody who follows politics should be keenly aware what "return to lawfulness" is euphemizing, but also, they want the AG to do it partially by giving atta-boys to Federal DAs

Why it’s important to be careful when using time-relative terms in communications. As of Saturday morning, Beryl is in the Gulf of Campeche and headed toward Texas.

You have 122 days to come to grips with the fact that these wackos are not only announcing they are out to kill you, they will happily drag your family from their homes and shoot them in the face, and say, "God told me to do it." This is not "appeared". Wake the fuck up.

Think about the baselines here. Taney inherited a vile political system and dedicated his career to perpetuating it. Roberts inherited a system that, although flawed on any number of dimensions, sought to uphold a modest version of democratic equality. He's dedicated his career to dismantling it.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

I don’t recall the NYT calling for Trump to step down after being convicted of 34 counts of fraud and being called by a judge at his civil trial a rapist in the common person sense

Has Bernie ever come out and told his cadre of middle aged privileged crackers to settle the fuck down? This feels very GenX to me, and as a GenXer...seriously, settle the fuck down. You lived through fucking Nader. Let's not do this again.
