Milquetoast liberals are frustrating and disappointing, but fascists are legit scary, and if you don't understand that, and you don't care who wins in an election, then please, please, please grow up.

I swear to fucking God if democracy dies in 2025 it won't be because Biden had one bad debate. It'll be because he had one bad debate and everyone decided the world was ending and they had to light their hair on fire and run around naked in the streets.

On the west side of the river it was pretty bad last night. I'm in Chinatown and the explosions didn't stop until dawn. My poor dog was anxious all night long.

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

I spoke to a friend I knew in high school who told me he "doesn't follow politics." I asked him what he thought about the election. He said, "I hear Biden's a senile wreck." He also said he hadn't heard of SCOTUS granting Trump immunity and has never heard of Project 2025. Media's doing a great job.

When Trump tweeted out what became the transgender military ban with a 17-minute gap between tweets, I was on the phone with someone on the JCS. During the lag, we debated if we'd feel it if he nuked North Korea.

Which is why the NYT is all in on this strategy. I wish every MSNBC segment started with "For the XXXth day in a row, the Trump campaign has been too frightened to sit down for an interview, so these are things that they don't want you to know about their pet rapist."

I don't care if Joe Biden is literally dead--I'd still vote for him over Trump. It boggles my mind that anyone else would think his age and fatigue could possibly make him less qualified than the mass murder and serial rape that characterizes his opponent.

Another reminder that the only thing standing in the way of this is your vote. "I don't like the candidate because X" is not an excuse. I couldn't care less if the person with a (D) next their name is a brain floating in a jar of ether, I'm waking up on election day and bubbling in its name.

Dems should get better with ratfucking. Perfect opportunity here. Start a Super PAC named something like "Great America Initiative" and run ads about how much Trump supports Project 2025, specifically naming its most unpopular provisions.

This means the discourse on Project 2025 is having an effect. Every media outlet should hammer this. Biden ads and other Democrat ads should flash highlights from Project 2025 with scary voice-overs.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

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.

The Ford pardon of Nixon would have been totally unnecessary. A million other actions and arguments in American history assume presidents aren't immune. It's a totally new idea, nowhere in text or American tradition. Arguably the least originalist major SCOTUS decision in American history.

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

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.

“I don’t get it, why are you celebrating American Chauvinism this year of all years? This country is capital C cooked” My abuelo crossed a desert at the age of 14 for nearly a week, by moonlight, to get his life here. By placing yourself in the shoes of others, you may be able to understand 👍
