POST: To be a socialist in the 21st century is to reckon with the horrors of 20th century socialism and still feel that there's a path forward that allows the human race to outgrow capitalism. Or to give a pass to those horrors in a glib and meaningless way.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

'oh there are exceptions' fuckouttahere if your commands to the department of justice are categorically immune from prosecution - *if watergate was not a crime* - then the exceptions dont matter in the slightest, because some feds in black will quietly disappear you in the night

because this is as close as i can imagine to a mortal wound to what i was taught the constitution was, what your mom and dad think the constitution is if acts done by the president under color of authority are presumptively immune from prosecution, then hes a dictator, full stop

im thinking how does a future admin with a packed court get this back in front of scotus so this can be shredded biden needs to win, dems need to win both houses, they need to repeal the filibuster and pack the court, and there need to be more charges for trumps time in office

without saying it, they clearly intended to say that use of core presidential powers in service of a campaign is immune i mean, he directed doj to undermine state certifications, and thats immune i dont think they missed it, i think they glossed it over because they know what theyre doing

Over the weekend, one of the major party presidential candidates promoted the idea of trying a former congresswoman for treason with televised military tribunals, and I’ll bet you haven’t seen a news article—much less a catastrophizing op-ed—about it.

The case for abolition, UBI, universal housing and healthcare has the power of moral force. Couching these positions in the idea they’re actually secretly popular muddles the argument and elides the very real work that needs to be done in convincing people.

this as much as anything is a clear illustration of how fragile the democratic coalition is and how absolutely fucking boneheaded it would be to blow it up and try to rebuild it around somebody new biden dropping out makes everything worse the sooner we stop pretending otherwise the better

the j6 decision is very bad but the chevron repealer is the end of the federal government as we know it theres no other way to say it - epa, fda, nlrb, interior, everything - scotus now has final say on all areas of federal policy probably state policy too if they play preemption games its SO bad

Catastrophic. The fact that most watchers and of course most of us who work on regulation knew this was coming doesn’t soften the blow a bit. The modern administrative state is critical for health & social policy. Undermining it promises to worsen overall health and expand health inequalities.
