i'm a party man, because my party is the party that's against fascism. if it's the old man, i vote for the old man. if it's the younger woman, i vote for the younger woman. if it's a fucking fence post, i vote for the fence post, because if trump gets elected, i never get to vote again.

This is super important work. And it looks like it's actually having an effect. Normal people learn about Project 2025 and are scared as shitless as they should be. The Nation, The New Republic, Rolling Stone, Boston Review and others are doing the work that NYT and WaPo are neglecting.

I can’t believe that under a system that awards unlimited power to unlimited capital, and unlimited capital to those most willing to exploit others, the side that capital favors more is pure evil and achieves its most despicable aims, and the side that capital favors less is foundering beyond parody

The DC press likes easy scandals and horse race coverage. They will be on this for awhile. If they were actually interested in policy or whatever we’d be in a very different place.

20 minutes of uninterrupted time with the President and not a single policy question. What a missed opportunity to actually educate people.

If they’re going to let trump get away with claiming that he finds parts of Project 2025 awful and disgusting, some member of the media should at least ask him “what part?”

I guess you can say Americans are ignorant if they don't understand the role the Supreme Court has in our system, but like... why would they? It's neither a system that makes any sense nor a system that actually exists in the Constitution (which didn't give the courts any policy making role)

Voters just blame whoever is President for whatever happens during their Presidency, which is a major reason why allowing the situation where the Supreme Court absurdly gets to make policy across whatever issue they want to persist is so deadly to Democrats

The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

Remember the old platform shooters when you got to the final boss and you could tell where the vulnerable spot was because it would start flashing when hit? Project 2025 is Trump's vulnerable spot. Hit it every day from now to November.

Imagine writing a NYT piece talking about how the court, actually, is good right now.
But Will Baude did it! Essentially, saying that all they get wrong was the Trump cases — and then insists, sort of, IDK, that even that was for what they thought were good reasons. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/05/o...

Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million. Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

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. 🇺🇸

right wing think tanks are making thinly veiled threats of political violence, the Supreme Court has neutralized the regulatory power of broad swaths of government, and the fate of the executive branch depends on whether the 81 year old atop it can learn to breakdance or something. Happy July 4th

If the cops grab you at a protest remember: 1) Ask "am I free to go?" if they say yes, GO. 2) if they say no, say "I am invoking my right to an attorney and my 5th amendment right to remain silent" then SHUT UP. wait for your lawyer.
