One of those mfers is Larry Tribe, Harvard con law prof. And WaPo just reported that when Biden needed a court reform proposal the first person he called was Larry Tribe. We have a big problem. Stop listening to boomer lawyers! The world of 1990s lawyering is gone and never coming back.

LOL at all the mfs who did their "Aileen Cannon may be an unorthodox jurist but she's serious and sincere about her honest convictions" pieces

That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.

Are you a fan of all of those guys who are directly responsible for making the internet an unusable dogshit hellhole? Well boy do I have a VP for you.

Right, so this is the story of the old mate I was out with last night, didn't happen to me, but too good not to repeat. Will probably only work for the Brit adjacent.

Honestly makes as much sense as any other explanation at this point, also from the perspective of practically demonstrating that Biden is so senile that he still runs laps around the combined might of the dem donor class and elite media by just being a bit annoyed and ignoring them

(Which maybe tells us more about how bad the latter are at politics)

I sincerely never thought he would get to this point and I am delighted to see it even if he cannot enact it himself this changes the conversation about what’s possible within the Democratic Party, which has been badly needed for years fantastic news

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.

If Biden said What's up with skinny guys and Coke and then said check out this hat we'd have like 85 op eds in the NYT and WaPo about him being senile

I can’t believe this is a real quote from Trump sitting down with Bloomberg. I saw it on Twitter and figured it was a joke. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Saw someone’s take is “Bouie not being here won’t make or break” this site. I am happy to say some things about how platform migration works. It’s true, one user never makes or breaks anything, but for U.S. users the presence of young Black folks has driven the popularity of new tech for decades 1/?

I'm not sure the threat of domestic fascists is considered quite as severe as it should be, but people who would whatabout and both sides American politics don't do so as much any more. Criticism of dems is more along the line that they aren't taking things seriously enough.

Well so far both the Finnish EU elections and British elections went well as far as defeating fascists is concerned. I think the greatest change in Finland compared to previous years is that there's a wider understanding that Trump and the republicans really are fascists.

So there's a lot of anxiety because so much is tied up in the US election and people get the stakes for their own safety, more or less.

Inshallah, Charles al-Windsor, Caliph of Great Britain, will defeat JD Vance’s America. 🇬🇧

He said the UK was on its way to being a nuclear armed caliphate. So he’s making friends internationally as well.

Guys, my campaign has spent days under vicious attack from the fringe right. They've manufactured fake quotes, even fake sexual assault claims. They're flooding all my social media. It’s because I talk about the threat they pose. Donate, help me fight back: secure.actblue.com/donate/fight...

so far I prefer this place to any of its alternatives but there are way too many anime avi "leftists" who think their politics means they can indulge their love of bullying to their heart's content
