Thank you for this. My family are skipping the local Fourth of July parade because they said it has become too political. I said it should be political! (Although more kids on bikes wouldn’t hurt.)

Paralysis and overwhelm don't disrupt dangerous systems. That's one reason I believe even little actions that disrupt domination patterns and support life-sustaining patterns are important. Not because of their size but because of their direction.

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.

I don’t think anyone has a monopoly on wisdom in this situation, but can we agree using polling as a heuristic is idiotic? LBJ’s decision and the party intrigue that ensued led to bloody unrest in Chicago, and then Humphrey lost to Nixon—which was not a good result for America to put it mildly.

Reducing Trump's terrible debate performance to "he lied a lot" misses a bunch of important stuff. It was as much - or more - of an incompetent disqualifying performance than Biden's.

Th night: CNN airs a debate designed to favor theatrical liars. F night: CNN leads prime time programs w/“Should Biden drop out?” Sat night: CNN re-airs debate so weekend shows have a topic. They’re generating content, not reporting. It’s cheaper, easier, more profitable than real journalism.

I'm really struck by the fury of the dissent of the Chief Justice of the Iowa Supreme Court in today's decision upholding a 6-week abortion ban, decrying her colleagues' use of history, tradition, and originalism to lock in the meaning of a state constitution to back when women had no legal say.

Yeah, I think I'm going to repeat this a bunch of times: It is incoherent to call for Biden to remain in office but not run. What you're saying is that *you* know that he's fine, but foolish voters won't. And anyone saying that is a fool.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

"...news reports linked him and Mr. Lewis to British news-gathering practices that would be considered unethical in the United States." If Scotland Yard was investigating, doesn't that suggest they might be considered unethical in Britain, too?
