So far AOC has the right idea. Getting enough Senate votes is another matter. bsky.app/profile/greg...

You could also call up your US rep and demand they join AOC in this move for impeachment. Can't pass the R House, but they HAVE to use their bully pulpit and rally the public. www.nydailynews.com/2024/07/01/a...

The world doesn't lack for Cthulhu Mythos anthologies. That said, if I were a publisher with the money to pay writers what they're worth and produce the books I'd want to read, there are a few anthologies I'd love to see. So here are my top 5 hypothetical Mythos anthologies.

He did those, most leftists didnt care/notice. ppl complained about $600 checks while most families were receiving $300 per kid per month. Like ppl still say he fucked over the railroads. The idea that leftists would rally behind him if he adopted good policies is not supported by the past 4 years

The other thing is that it’s so lawless a decision that it cannot be respected as precedent. It feels like a Supreme Court that succeeds this one should ignore its rule against advisory opinions to immediately overturn this one without waiting for a case to come up to do it.

fundamentally being in the majority on Trump v US is immediately disqualifying for a supreme court justice. it declares yourself in opposition to the foundations of the American project of democracy and limited government. all six of them must be impeached and replaced.

Embrace @sjshancoxli.bsky.social Thought! “The New Colossus” is an American gospel.

This 4th of July, take a little time to think about how the Left can try to reclaim patriotism from conservatives. Seems like the story of a country that cast off a king and fought a civil war to free the slaves is fertile ground given our present moment.

If you’re going to argue about the execution of America as an idea, then you aren’t understanding the power of internal mythology and you’re part of why conservatives can keep claiming it. The point is the promise of America, and the discussion should be how we can better live up to the promise.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

Why I Don't Vote (OK, I Do Vote, but I Would Like to Discourage You, NY Times Reader, For Doing So For Some Reason) Via @bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

too many people's plan for when fascism comes to america seems to be to wait for the corpse of vladimir ilyich ulyanov to rise up and lead us in a rousing chorus of do you hear the people sing

Didn’t even need to click through to guess the author’s race an gender. Do you what you want, fucker. But too many people got savaged by dogs, blasted with fire hoses, and hung from trees to get me into the voting booth for me to ever opt out.

want to co-sign this one especially. people talk about the dynamics of social media like people haven't been believing crazy shit since forever. satanic panic. blood libel. witch burnings. take your pick. the medium is new and important to understand, but the fundamentals less so.

All of history is people believing outrageous falsehoods because those falsehoods were widely or universally echoed in their community. What do you think happens when those communities become mass media, and then unregulated mass media shaped almost entirely the imperative of online virality?

You’re never going to be able to understand modern politics until you stop ignoring the role that the medium of communication plays. People today spend truly massive amounts of time immersed in various forms of media - mostly online! The narratives and dynamics of this media shapes their world.

Now up: my thoughts on Trump v. U.S. In my view the Court majority went much too far in creating a zone of formal and practical presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. "This is not what the Framers wanted. It is not what we should want either." www.cato.org/blog/court-w...

like "how can we measure this correlation?" "well, first we conduct another phone poll of the people who didn't respond to our phone polls"

"yeah totally we're abolishing the house, not the senate. just imagine it: a unicameral legislature with six year terms, proportional representation, and decisions made by simple majority. you can accept that--right, senator?"
