On this July 4, please pause to remember that one of the colonists’ complaints in the Declaration was that the Crown was paying its judges.

For no reason at all I've found myself thinking about John Dean's August 16, 1971 Nixon administration memorandum entitled “DEALING WITH OUR POLITICAL ENEMIES." Presumably such memos have now been deemed totally legal and cool by the Supreme Court.

it’s different groups of people whose political commitments are governed by memes all coalescing around a panicky meme plan where barely anyone has fleshed out anything past step one, and step one is “override the voters to force a democratic president out against his will”

Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

An aspiring dictator & convicted felon w history of treason may win the presidency. Profoundly corrupt SCOTUS justices undermined the constitution and gave him immunity from prosecution for past & future crimes. This is all political journalists should be writing about 24/7. We’re at the precipice.

this entire crusade against diversity in hiring and admissions is based on the supposition that all white men are necessarily more qualified than any nonwhite person or woman who might be considered for the job. like, this lawsuit more or less states that outright.

The first weapon of fascists is fear and, while they're dangerous, they rely on it to cover up their many weaknesses. If every election and ruling goes the worst way, there will still be ways to fight. They will not be unstoppable. Not now. Not ever. Surrendering to hopelessness is what they want.

We've now reached 200 death row exonerations. Meanwhile, the state with the most (Florida) is pushing to limit appeals, carry out executions more quickly, allow death sentences from non-unanimous juries, and impose the death penalty for crimes other than homicide.

New post up, on how there was never an actual bipartisan push for decarceration. It's true that red and blue states alike saw prison populations decline. But within those red states, the work was done by the blue counties. The politics of punishment are local, not state, not federal.
