He's right. They're stealing the country from us and ending democracy. "Bloodless if the left allows it to be" is a threat to kill anyone who fights back

An argument I’ve been trying to make about “Project 2025”: A second Trump term would be worse not only because the radical Right would be better prepared, but also because they would be operating under much more favorable circumstances. With a much more extreme Supreme Court, for instance. 1/

The Supreme Court’s ruling putting presidents above the law must be understood not simply as a grant of immunity for past crimes, but an enthusiastic endorsement of those he will commit if given the chance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Because Lutherans, Catholics, and Jews all number the biblical commandments differently, the Eagles' version sought a broader civil religious appeal by not numbering them. It's just a list of 11, or maybe 12, unnumbered, nearly-but-not-exactly biblical statements. Oh, and it was a movie promotion.

Eleven Commandments. Louisiana's law mandates a specific text. Not from Exodus, or Deuteronomy, but from the Fraternal Order of Eagles. They used a KJV-sounding pastiche adapted from the Bible and paraphrased by a Minnesota juvenile court judge in the 1950s. It's not the Bible. It's the Eagles.

Three years ago, the Guardian revisited the case and talked to the Rosenberg’s children, Michael and Robert Meeropol (now 81 and 77, respectively), about their long quest to officially exonerate their mother.

At the time, Kaufman publicly declared that he had agonized alone over this decision, wrestling with his conscience. But in 1976, FBI documents released under the FOIA revealed he privately discussed the sentence with the prosecutors and repeatedly called the FBI to expedite the executions.

Before sundown this evening in 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg—ages 35 and 37, respectively—were executed by electric chair at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York, after being convicted of espionage in 1951 for providing top secret atomic bomb design information to the Soviet Union during WWII.

Republicans have effectively criminalized studying how information moves on the internet at the request of a handful of billionaires and racists. I was writing a book about this, but went and did some other thing. If someone wants my notes or wants to talk to me about who to talk to, let me know.

I witnessed the crowd at a Bucks game recently go wild when we, too, got free chicken because of a missed free throw. It was my first time. I was unprepared for how much this is an essential part of the game of pro basketball.

My column from Monday. It’s great that Montgomery is raising statues of Rosa Parks. But thanks to the Alabama Legislature, a teacher who tells students about the violent government Parks faced could lose his job if those facts cause a white student discomfort.

Perfectly. Britt told me directly when she started crawling out of it. Then I asked her if she was supposed to be doing that, and she said, “Not yet” in fundie baby voice, turned her body but not her head, and spider crawled back. Totally normal to me.

I think this want/allow distinction is key for understanding how fascist political cultures work. In 1946 an "all-American" small town in Wisconsin invited a fascist to deliver their centennial celebration address. ~20,000 ppl attended. The vast majority in town didn't WANT it, but they ALLOWED it.

Something that’s been bugging me…there’s a line of popular argument deriding expressive politics online, implying that kind of activism is ineffectual. Wrong. It’s often social influence & deliberation esp among social in-groups, & it’s probably arguably the most impactful form of political action.
