But, the howler monkeys know that we are reasonable and don’t use every ounce of our power against the right, so there’s no risk of that.
I don’t really want a dictatorship but if we’re going to have one I’d rather sleepy uncle Joe than deranged trump

This is a time where I wish we (the left) wielded power like the right. If there was even a shred of a thought that telling Biden he was immune for anything that was *squint* official, this ruling would go the other way. After all… why not lock up Roberts and Trump and Miller in the WH basement?

If my memory is correct, you all took it down and apologized pretty quickly, but it might be worth taking a mental inventory of how you express (righteous) frustration with Thomas since it seems to come out racialized from time to time.

@hamiltonnolan.bsky.social almost single-handedly opened my eyes to unions being not [gop caricature] back in his OG Deadspin days. Loved this episode — the crossover is real, if we are building a new economy it should be just and labor is a huge slice of that pie.
