If the right is fighting a "second American Revolution," as Heritage's guy put it, it's worth identifying what they are rebelling against. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Just unfollowed someone so fast on the other site after they shared a post talmbout people being selfish for 'fearmongering' about Project 2025 in order to get people to vote Republicans' stated intentions are scary, but providing accurate info about them is not fearmongering! It's just the stakes!

Some fun pics & quotes from the Supreme Court event with @msmagazine.bsky.social, including me on the immunity decision:

"This case is not actually about law at all. It’s about power, it’s about politics, it’s about the Court’s support for the Republican candidate."

Lord, there's a pit in my stomach seeing the pictures coming out of St. Vincent (where I was born and where much of my family grew up or still lives) The devastation caused Hurricane Beryl is...tremendous. And the world isn't ready for the future (present?) of climate change and climate refugees

Clearly I enjoyed myself at Monday's Supreme Court event at Georgetown Law (democracy is in crisis, and also, if you don't laugh you'll cry)

To learn about where we are & where we can go from here, check out the full event, available now on CSPAN!

Something grimly funny about how like 10 years ago, every harmless crank who believed in stuff like flat earth and fake moon landing would either be radicalized into antisemitism or gradually revealed it, but now all these people are open antisemites and they stumble into flat earth

Random thought: If I were to run for president and win despite being constitutionally ineligible, would taking the oath of office be an official act warranting immunity and allow me to serve anyway?

I would love to know the identity of these tenured law professors who claim Northwestern won't hire them because they're white guys, and that it hires undeserving people of color instead Like, perhaps Northwestern won't hire you because you're odious, bigoted, and not as smart as you think you are?

"This was meant to be a book review of the excellent if infuriating The Originalism Trap by Madiba Dennie. However, the Trump Immunity ruling, among others, have pretty much made her argument irrefutable."
