I guarantee you that the think tanks in the Kremlin gaming out this election have a detailed nativist battle plan ready that they think will work for America should Kamala take over as the nominee. You can even **see** it in 45's never-ending non-sequiturs in the debate on anti-immigrant rhetoric.

The mainstream media and social media environment surrounding Biden is more aggressively toxic than anything I can recall for a POTUS, Trump included. That more than anything Biden has or hasn’t done has me questioning the wisdom of him saying in. The negativity is overwhelming. (1/2)

First Black/South Asian Senator from California, first Black/South Asian AG of California, only the fifth Black person elected to the Senate since Reconstruction—and she did all of it as a woman Sometimes I wonder if y’all have even the slightest idea how hard that is

It might be true that she didn’t have the greatest showing in 2019/2020, but it is almost certainly true that many of the people trying to ignore or diminish Kamala Harris never gave her a fair look

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.

This from @atrupar.bsky.social on The Bad Place. However one feels about the ultimate question on the table, the pace and frenzy with which this discourse around whether a sitting president should step aside/down because of a singular event (that embodies a larger issue) is mind-blowing.

This wasn’t hindsight either. A lot of us argued at the time that they should be expelled. Then Joe Biden didn’t even mention it in his inaugural speech two weeks later. Not expulsion. Not the coup attempt itself. Just…nothing.

Back in late 2020 I advocated for expelling all the members of Congress who voted against certifying, then using the rump majorities you'd gain after to pass court reform (who'd ratify the legality of this maneuver). Radical proposal! but the alternatives of doing nothing were more radical

Hey @kevinmkruse.bsky.social I don’t normally tag you but I’m pretty sure the right is openly declaring war on the justice department. This is a threat.

We don’t just have to defeat Trump, we must also defeat Putin, Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Leonard Leo, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Mike Johnson, & the rest of the fascist right wing oligarchy. Voting Blue is the only option.

I know it sounds crazy, but you're seeing it with your own eyes! It IS happening. The timeline is just too obvious. The plan WAS the fake electors. The plan WAS to hang Pence. The plan WAS to shoot Pelosi. The plan WAS to give Trump immunity. The plan WAS January 6.

I think it is hilarious that any reporter ever took the idea that Roberts is deeply concerned about the court's reputation. Or his own, for that matter. He never gave a fuck.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1
