Today I asked @scottmccloud.bsky.social for something I've never asked of him before in all the decades I've known him...to sign a book for me. AND LO THE DREAM IS REALIZED

Happy No-More-Kings Day tomorrow! And remember: Patriotism is helping the country you love do less wrong. Nationalism is pretending that it's *never* wrong. 🇺🇸 "Nationalism is Patriotism for Assholes." – Jon Lovett

We can’t fight a campaign of lies by lying to ourselves. Blind loyalty and a willingness to deny reality are THEIR values, not ours. We can’t show the country who Trump is, unless we first show it who WE are.

And it's Trump who *refused* to let Harriet Tubman's portrait replace Andrew Jackson's on the $20 bill.

I sank a little deeper into depression when I realized that within my lifetime there is a non-zero chance that Donald Trump will be on our currency.

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

Look, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Well I guess any future President can be a dictator… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …hypothetically! 🤷‍♂️

Over the weekend, I found a tiny pink plastic shoe on the ground near my office. I placed it at eye level, on a wooden post, by the stairs. This morning, on that same post, was this picture.

Ok this is nightmare fuel. But at least not EVERY horrible thing that is happening is coming from the Supreme Court.

Sotomayor's dissent is chilling: "When [the president]...orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune."

these numbers are basically vindication of one of my points in the NYT conversation, which is that whoever is the nominee inherits Biden’s position for the simple reason that they will be standard-bearers for the Biden administration.

Interesting. www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2024/6/...

I'm hearing Dems across the board—even the most fiercely partisan—being brutally honest about last night, and why Biden stepping down has to be discussed seriously. It's not "panicking." It's not "bed-wetting." It's the TRUTH. We can't fight a campaign of lies by lying to ourselves.

Jill Biden may have the last word tonight, for an audience of one.

Gird your loins, America. 😬

A paywall-free reminder that not only is there no reason to think Biden is going to be taking illicit medication to surmount a theoretical weakness, no such medication exists. wapo.st/3zmDXhk
