I think that's his issue with Snyder here. He just doesn't like the use of the word "fascism" to describe Trumpism. He thinks it's semantically and historically sloppy.

The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

Biden has a bad debate night: calls to step down Documents released that show two underage women accused Trump of raping them on Epstein’s island, under oath: total media silence except in a few blogs and foreign news The media double standard is incredible to see

Thanks largely to Biden and the Democratic party there is now a kind of global race to get to the mass, chear carbon-free energy. We're going to hit peak global emissions (fingers crossed) this year or next. We're deploying solar at a level that blowing away every single prediction.

How is any of this possible with the Roberts court? Whatever the answer is, that has to be item 1 on the agenda.

It seems like all of this has been obvious for some time. So why has there been no action whatsoever by Democrats?

In 2016, Hillary Clinton gave a speech in Wisconsin about the importance of the Supreme Court.
She warned that 2016 was "make or break" for the court—and the country.
National media—focused on her emails and Trump's antics—barely covered the speech.

Like there's a lot they were not especially clear about, and all sorts of reasons where we shouldn't tie our own future to their past. But "Kings are bad; the President is not a King; he must be constrained by law" is one of the few things they were, to their credit, very clear about

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?

When they told us John Roberts was an institutionalist, they forgot to mention that the institution he’s committed to uphold is an American monarchy.

Regarding a), people are shocked when I tell them W was 'almost as bad as' Trump. I actually think he was worse, until COVID. The bodycount was higher, anyway.

Trump tells his rally crowd Chuck Schumer has “become a Palestinian.” Second time this week he’s used “Palestinian” to describe non-Palestinians he dislikes as if the word is a slur. I remain skeptical of the claim that Trump becoming president next year would improve the lives of Palestinians.

If you're not watching it, I really have to emphasize this is the absolute worst Biden has ever sounded at a debate. Hoarse, unfocused, losing his train of thought. It's probably worse than you'd imagine based on just seeing posts bsky.app/profile/pato...

At Ohio State, protesters who were arrested had hijabs forcefully removed, were denied spaces to pray, and were strip searched in front of male officers.

a lot of scoffing at warnings re: "end democracy" that seem to overlook the fact that democracy is already effectively ended in a bunch of US states. NC is a 50/50 state but Dems need an unlikely string of consecutive victories in the state supreme court to even have the chance to elect a government

Just to be clear: The Supreme Court will now be deciding TWO major abortion cases this term, involving access to medication abortion and the ability to obtain an emergency abortion at an ER. It seems the justices have not, in fact, removed themselves from the abortion debate.
