You should never be hoodwinked to think abusers are walking around with vampire fangs so everyone can avoid them. The social networks of power they create around themselves place them at the center of a system where they can choose vulnerable victims as well as those who will support & enable them.

A world where the President can murder their enemies with impunity, direct the DOJ and FBI not to investigate the crimes, and pardon anyone who participates is not a free society www.politico.com/news/2024/07...

The terrifying SEAL Team 6 scenario lurking in the Supreme Court’s immunity rulingwww.politico.com The Supreme Court's immunity ruling this week makes the hypothetical scenario raised during oral arguments — in which a president can't be prosecuted for murder — well, possible.

They're going to defend limits on power by removing all limits on power. Makes se--

I've been thinking about this post from the Claremont Institute, a Trumpist think tank, ever since the SCOTUS immunity ruling. Wonder what "unpleasant things" the Trumpists have in mind. open.substack.com/pub/joelmmat...

Makes my skin crawl that these people have to spend the twilight of their lives being denied justice by people who weren’t even alive when they were brutalized and that what were supposed to be the best years of their lives was stained by an overt rejection of justice.

Heritage Foundation guy's "we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" = the rule of law only goes so far as we choose to allow it

Interesting compare & contrast with MAGA 2023—in 1932, five SA members were convicted in Silesia of lynching a communist in his home and were sentenced to death. The Nazis (not yet in power) howled, and within days their sentences were commuted, within months they were pardoned docdro.id/YAlnwTF

Guys it’s Biden or Kamala Harris, that’s the choice that the donors are making right now and there isn’t anyone else in the conversation

I just don’t understand it! Why can’t Kamala Harris become President now? If President Biden resigns on health grounds doesn’t the Vice President automatically then become President? Is it because she is a Black Woman that the Democratic Party aren’t even considering this as an option?
