Getting some vibes that the French election result is an example of why liberals and socialists should work together and I worried people are implying something similar for the USA. That just doesn’t work

OUTGOING Assembly for context: —Macronists: 249. (New exit polls: 150-180) —Left bloc: 131. (New exit polls: 170-220) —Far-right: 89. (New exit polls: 120-155) —LR/conservatives: 64 (Exit polls: 65-80) Today will be a record high *by far* for far-right. But also a lot less than it hoped.

Political education is so necessary for activism! The architects of project 2025 are out there bragging about it because they want their base mobilized. A response might emphasize the importance of, say, state or doj not being staffed by Jan 6 attendees

reflecting on the immunity decision a bit, what the Court seems to be saying is that every element of the executive branch is at the President’s disposal, no matter what he wants to use it for. his motives don’t matter. the office is a weapon to be wielded however he sees fit.

Part of how we got here has been to leave too much of the discussion about all of this to lawyers. People feel like they can't understand the courts without law degrees and that's just not true. But we're left without a robust group of non-lawyer activists and organizers who could offer leadership.

Politicians treat the Supreme Court the way they treat cops which is to say that they fund them, seem afraid of them, demand no accountability and allow them to act with complete impunity. Instead of disempowering them, it's some commissions, reports and shrugs.

I agree. However if your housing is all owned privately and developed privately your entire housing market is based on extracting profit on every step. And it’s in the interest of the owners and developers to keep the prices high
