Knowledge is power, which is why Project 2025 aims to destroy public education. ❌ Dept of Education ❌ Title I funding for low income students ❌ Head Start & free lunch ❌ Student debt relief ❌ Civil rights enforcement ❌ DEI ✅ Public funding of private religious schools

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

Greg is right. This is a tell Biden is protecting some of the very people Trump and Miller want to deport. Miller intends to send red state national guard troops to blue cities for roundups Republicans don't want voters to focus on that part of their diabolical plan so they scream "border"

Yes, if you don’t like the choice between Trump and Biden, think of it as picking between Stephen Miller and Pete Buttigieg, Steve Bannon and Deb Haaland, Michael Flynn and Lina M. Khan, Alex Jones and Jessica Rosenworcel, or Brett Kavanaugh and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Both sides are not “the same”

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

The current cowardly establishment take is that the nyc trial of Trump was unserious and the only legitimate things to try Trump for just happen to involve getting past the veto of federalist society stooges who would support a violent overthrow of the government if it meant putting Trump in power.

Finally read this. The context for the slur makes it entirely believable. But the rest is just as awful. NBC knowingly resurrected a washed up, racist, misogynist, parasitic con man, and presented him to the country as a brilliant, cutting-edge businessman. It felt dirty just reading it.

Alito and Thomas have made clear their insurrectionist connections. So why are we debating whether Alito should recuse himself, instead of demanding Roberts dismiss Trump’s immunity appeal so the J6 trial can begin immediately? (It should be “dismissed as improvidently granted.")

To paraphrase the West wing, they've got to let Biden be Biden. He's at his best when connecting with everyday people and unscripted situations. And conveniently, I think it's where there's the biggest contrast with Trump.

No surprise that pro-Israel flaks are recycling the 'Black Confederates' canard to smear Jewish protestors. 'Black Confederates' (in case people don't know) is debunked, ahistorical, right-wing, 'Lost Cause', neo-confederate apologia for slavery.

For all my complaints about the editorial choices of the NYTimes and the (alleged) kitten killing sprees of its insane publisher A.G. Sulzberger, the paper still has excellent reporters.
This piece is great, and the kicker is pure art.

The first thing a lot of us in Texas probably think about when we see a lot of state troopers these days are the nearly 100 of them that stood by and let children die at an elementary school because they were too scared to do anything about a single shooter. It's all fucking cosplay.
