I'm more cynical. I think they know that isn't realistic but don't care because they think they can convince the public that this is possible and good. We should push back hard on their cynical attempt to redefine the problem.

They are trying to "split the baby" so to speak when it comes to redefining medically necessary abortions as not abortions. They are trying to solve a problem they created with clever word choice... We shouldn't let them redefine their way out of this mess.

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

Everything else aside, can I just say how freaking jealous I am that they announced elections, held "primaries," and elected their government all in a MONTH. Our goddamn presidential campaigns have been going on for almost TWO YEARS.

Things are pretty fucked up and the future is uncertain — probably the worst in my lifetime (perhaps excepting 1969 before I can remember). When it’s like that, I like to think about my grandparents and what they faced and got through with the Great Depression and WWII. /1

I mean you aren't wrong. But couldn't Biden also order the records of the debts be expunged. Like you can't unshoot a protester, but you also can't collect a debt where the records don't exist.

/2. For instance, conservatives intuit and discover a right for the executive to break the law and flaunt the very Constitution they rely upon with impunity. And liberals intuit and discover the right to privacy and bodily autonomy.

It's largely irrelevant because the pardon power is expressly granted by the Constitution and pardoning is an official act, zero question.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

I mean Biden had a bad debate. But...a June debate performance probably has zero impact on the November election. So panic about this seems premature.

Ok, I need everybody to read Section III-A of Alito's dissent in the Idaho abortion case. He says - explicitly and specifically - that in cases where the amniotic sac breaks before the 24th week of pregnancy, abortions should be prohibited. HE SPECIFICALLY NOTES THE DANGERS. He points out that...

"You’re confusing free speech with platforms owned by foreign powers hostile to the U.S. and its people" I'm confused why people who are hostile to the US and its people shouldn't have free speech rights? Only speech that speaks positively of the USA is allowed?

Well it's simple, software that profits the "good" people he wants to profit is good and protected by the first amendment and software that profits the "bad" people who he doesn't want to profit is bad and unprotected by the Constitution. Clearly this is a principled take.

Look, I'm not one to say much about publications taking some sort of controversy and turning it into merch (we've done it a bunch), but generally speaking, if the message of your merch is "we support fascist insurrection," you might just be the fucking problem.

This is 100% true and it's happening at Harvard. Brilliant gifted students can't get clerkships but FedSoc members have theirs locked up early. The whole clerkship process is rigged and it is corroding the profession. It's all about adherence to ideology not meritocracy.
