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...
The Supreme Court Gives Its Blessing to Trump’s Criminalitywww.theatlantic.com And gives him permission for a despotic second term.

Yes we’ll rally round the flag, boys, we’ll rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom, We will rally from the hillside, we’ll gather from the plain, Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
there's nothing wrong with having feelings of despair and futility, but i think it's most responsible to avoid airing all that out in public to the greatest extent possible right now. we need to cultivate a vengeance-driven, enraged espirit de corps right now, because we need people to fight

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

they should've been in handcuffs by the end of Biden's inaguration speech. Failing to act immediately might be the decision that dooms the Republic.

In April 1944, the Vice President of the United States wrote an article in the New York Times about the threat of Fascism in the United States. He ended by predicting that right wing anti-Communist saber rattlers in the US will inject a fascistic brand of politics into our political culture.

Judges found Björn Höcke, a leader of the Alternative for Germany party, guilty of knowingly using a Nazi slogan in May. On Monday, he will go on trial in the same court for using the same slogan, again. To his critics, the right-wing ideologue is a threat to German democracy.
The Man Softening the Ground for an Extremist Germanywww.nytimes.com Björn Höcke has done more than take the far right into the mainstream. He is tilting the mainstream toward the far right.

Many young men are unable to get a date on account of being insane. Their solution to this is to become much more insane. The logic is bad, but they’ve made themselves too insane on purpose to understand this

German big business (and a lot of foreign business too) LOVED Hitler when he smashed the KPD, SPD, and organized labor, and then gave them huge war contracts. but then, whoops, turns out,
the awkward thing is that functional capitalism is more or less inseparable from representative democracy. capitalism requires markets, legally binding contracts, and a functional judicial system to work best. this is a real reason why capitalism is different from colonialism and mercantilism, etc

Martha-Ann Alito is like
Mrs. Alito says she's "from Germany." She was born there while her dad was serving on an Air Force base. They moved back when she was a toddler. Her parents were from Oklahoma & Kentucky. So for her to say "I'm from Germany" suggests a real deep reason to identify with something about that country

This Ohio State graduating class did not get to see a single football victory over Michigan and then they get this hack to give their commencement speech, brutal.
Today’s Rooster dispatch, by special correspondent Max Littman, is free for all. It covers the disasterclass of a commencement speech yesterday by Ohio State alumnus Chris Pan, whom one university official called the worst person they’ve ever worked with. www.rooster.info/p/ohio-state...
Inside the worst Ohio State commencement speech everwww.rooster.info "Social entrepreneur" Chris Pan admitted to writing his speech while high on psychedelic drugs, and somehow he delivered even worse results than you might imagine.

Every big campus protest against Vietnam, an issue they are now universally acknowledged as having been right about, was like “we burned down the admissions office and made the dean read a statement of support for the Viet Cong” and the people who grew up then are going “things are worse than ever”

The fact that Tesla is (or maybe was it’s been a rough month) valued higher than all other US car makers COMBINED remains one of the most bonkers things. It’s mostly based on finance people thinking Elon is magical which tells you all you need to know about finance imo
Obviously these companies are structured very differently. Toyota's value is found in the products it makes and brings to market, which people can buy and use. Tesla's value is from Elon Musk sometimes saying things like "I will invent magical taxis by November" and shareholders pissing themselves
