The right wing majority on scotus legalizes bribery and criminalizes homelessness because to them, rich people deserve rights and poor people deserve nothing. If they were deserving they’d be rich.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

we’ve already mostly lost the generation of americans who experienced the depths of jim crow as adults, we will lose, pretty soon, the generation of americans who experienced jim crow as younger people. and when that happens this country will pretend like it never happened.

Good article on the complicated and equally infuriating & inspiring history that is Juneteenth. "One of Juneteenth’s most important lessons is that history is about not just the country’s triumphs but more often the relentless struggle necessary to achieve a more perfect union."

Of course, being pro-death penalty has ALWAYS meant you don’t mind executing the innocent. Any sentence that cannot be applied fairly and with absolute assurance of justice cannot be applied at all. To anyone.

Musk’s role in this process is to nurture an information environment in which it’s ludicrous to think governments could do anything about climate change, thus clearing space for self-interested billionaires like him to play superhero on the issue.

new from me: Not enough people are aware of Russ Vought, the former OMB director turned pro-Trump think tanker, and the role he's playing in crafting the policies that the GOP will cling to long after Trump is no longer on the ballot
