in a world with a rising fascist tide this is the only way forward until we can figure out how to turn it around it can be done things don’t have to be as bad as possible

"I am willing to live with a result that is acceptable but not my ideal outcome for the next two years in order to prevent the worst case scenario" is seriously encouraging to see

I once wrote a fact check of a Morgan Spurlock book. He included what he said was a direct quote from the FDA that aspartame causes cancer. I checked the footnote. An FDA newsletter did publish that claim — but *only to specifically refute it*. That’s basically how Barrett quotes Madison here.

These mistakes originalist justices are making aren’t about disputed interpretations of history, with evidence on both sides. They’re pulling quotes out of context to attribute ideas to founding figures that those figures adamantly opposed. (via @andycraig.bsky.social) reason.com/volokh/2024/...

The Supreme Court's Dubious Use of History in Department of State v. Munozreason.com Justice Amy Coney Barrett's majority opinion includes significant errors, and violates some of her own precepts against excessive reliance on questionable history.

It's hard to believe a band called The Doobie Brothers were a hit making machine in the 70s and 80's and not your cousins band who play at a bar called The Schooner

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

I think this is an accurate characterization of true cynics like Stone, but such a specific combination of personality disorders seems to be relatively rare. I wonder if there is a distinction to be made between those who see themselves as purely destructive forces

People like Roger Stone or Steve Bannon or Jack Posobiec or Matt Gaetz or Marjorie Taylor Greene or Laura Ingraham or Ann Coulter or [fill in the blanks] are 100% "the baddies" and they are 100% proud of that. They want the blood of their fellow Americans, and will savor the taste of it.

This is what I don’t understand about American politics. It feels like Democrats fight like hell over a very small sliver of the voter demographics who mostly don’t like them anyways, and completely ignore a much larger pool of voters who would be an easier sell.

People keep referencing guillotines & gallows, but the American response to this situation has tended to range from "mob justice" to "mail bombs" For these reasons, past generations of US elites have sought to preserve at least the *illusion* of a fair system of laws. But the mask is fully off now.

What happens to societies when all legitimate, peaceful means of political accountability are rendered impotent?

Doomerism is chickenshit. an embarrassment to every ape that threw a rock at a bear to protect the tribe. if you actually believe this doomer shit what are you posting for? it's chickenshit and i will have no truck with it. you had something better to do with your life than make the world better?

Say what you will about political violence—Biden ordering a hit on the Trump family + 6 justices would be very legal and very cool, and that comes straight from #SCOTUS!

Fixing things like this—to say nothing of *preventing* it—will be much, much more difficult in the future thanks to the Roberts court’s recent overturning of Chevron deference.

🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into our windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off US EPA, who then raided them in 2023. EPA sent me the report on Friday. 💀 ⬇️

In a concurring opinion upholding criminalization of homelessness, Clarence Thomas argues the court should also repeal its decision striking down laws that criminalize drug addiction (not possession or distribution -- addiction). To support his argument, he cites a dissent by ... Clarence Thomas.

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

The war is over. The bad guys won.

Remember, this is America, the world's greatest democracy. If you're mad at John Roberts, don't protest at his house, focus on defeating him the next time he's up for reelection.

Biden is too old. But he has surrounded himself with competent people and has had a conventional first term. Trump is authoritarian but inept. He has surrounded himself with people he hopes will make him more effective at authoritarianism. Neither is ideal. But these are not similar problems.
