Seriously. Every time I see that Dolce & Gabbana commercial I’m like what even am I supposed to be looking forward to?

A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes. It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

Competing Heat Domes should be Vice President on someone’s ticket

Rare event! Competing heat domes in the Southeast and Southwest US crank out two huge all-time record highs. Palm Springs 124 and Raleigh=Durham 106 with a heat index of 118! Las Vegas is forecast to break their all-time high this weekend and even Death Valley may come close.

A second insurrection. Stop comparing these people to the founders. They are the Confederacy.

A second American Revolution, this one aimed at unwinding democracy in favor of a monarchy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | The target of the right’s ‘revolution’ is pluralistic democracy itselfwww.washingtonpost.com The president of the Heritage Foundation said, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

When folks argue that a Universal Basic Income would deter working, think about those million-dollar CEOs. If a modest $15k is enough to make one quit working, wouldn’t multi-million dollar packages make CEOs practically comatose? Yet, here they are, still CEOing. Weird isn't it?

London fog Tony Linck, 1947

@rincewind.run just saw a clip from today of Karine Jean-Pierre answering a question with, “when Joe Biden gets knocked down he gets back up again,” and I really need someone to tell his team to stop it bc that’s a goddamn Chumbawamba chorus from 1997

“The Supreme Court has made clear who they are and whose they are.”—Sherrilyn Ifill

@sifill.bsky.social just gave an incredibly good interview on Monday’s ruling and what’s to be done on Joy Reid’s show just now and frankly it’s one of the first things that’s inspired me since the ruling came down. I hope someone posts it here soon bc people should hear it

If you're going to call a Senator who is not your Senator, call the Senate Majority Leader's office. Schumer's phone number is (202) 224-6542

Another thing you can do is call Dick Durbin's office and demand he stand up for democracy and haul Alito and Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And publicly demand their resignations. If you can't literally impeach them, AT LEAST use the bully pulpit. 202-224-2152.

yes. and then cut ads telling voters what he’s allowed to do if re-elected.

Now is the time to have the conversation about what are the lines that Donald Trump, or his Supreme Court justices who have created a zone of lawlessness for him to operate in if he becomes president again, could cross that would cause America no longer to be classified as a liberal democracy.

I keep coming back to "all this for literally Donald Trump," but it fits. There's not some more competent aspiring autocrat who'd somehow "earn" or "win" this. This is how it has always gone: feckless/evil elites attaching themselves to the sociopath they believe will get them where they want to go.

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.

It's not the worst of it, but what I may be actually angriest about (right now) is Roberts' smarmy smugness and dismissiveness in the final two paragraphs of section IV and the whole of section V. "Fear mongering," "extreme hypotheticals," "our perspective must be more farsighted," and this.

I feel like we, as a country, politically, are about to undergo, or are at the beginning of undergoing, a ‘paradigm shift’ in the technical, philosophy of science/Kuhn’s ‘The Structure of Scientific Revolutions’ sense. And if we are that is really going to be something

It's a bit problematic how Biden has (a) narrow, limited power to have his agency draw up a student loan forgiveness process consistent with the statutes passed by Congress; but (b) complete immunity to tell everyone at Dept of Edu, "mark those loans as $0 or I'll put you in a pine box."

to put a sharper point on this, the President’s power to pass an executive order regulating emissions is severely hampered. his power to use the DOJ or the military to regulate emissions is nearly unlimited
