This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

Someone at the Times should leak all the drafts of this piece so that we can judge what impact, if any, the debate had on the editing process. The public has a Right to Know whether the newspaper of record is trying to harass a public servant into stepping down prematurely

They still, quite literally, have never reported in any section of their newspaper on the fact that Trump published Obama’s address to his violent supporters and an armed assassin showed up THE NEXT DAY.

Morning Joe has, all in all, been a lone voice of sanity in the media mob's rush to ride Biden out of town. Mika has been wonderful: a voice of calm and perspective and I suspect she had some words for Joe, who metered his tone from last week and urged taking time before rushing to judgment.

Several of the analyses calling for Biden to drop don't even notice they're doing it. Like NYT, one of their chief complaints (in the op-ed, not the 10,000 other opinion pieces sometimes posing as journalism) was that he didn't call out Trump's lies. Which is, of course, their job.

If the cops grab you at a protest remember: 1) Ask "am I free to go?" if they say yes, GO. 2) if they say no, say "I am invoking my right to an attorney and my 5th amendment right to remain silent" then SHUT UP. wait for your lawyer.

The idea that Roberts can’t be helping Trump because Trump has criticized him is laughable; almost as much as the sad realization that Trump is negging the SC and it worked.

Nothing evinces the weakness of the far left in the US than its persistent theory that the only thing standing between itself and power is the DNC, and then just not bothering to actually try and run a far left candidate in any Democratic primary ever.

Biden's not losing because there's only one poll that matters and it's not until November. He's not going to drop out because he's president and he already beat this guy once and he's clearly not actually in cognitive decline. So buck the fuck up.

Thought experiment: Imagine if Obama, after claiming an election had been stolen from him and being convicted of 34 felonies, was granted immunity by SCOTUS justices who had taken undisclosed luxury trips on George Soros' dime. The fact that you can't even imagine this scenario tells you something.

It’s unfortunate they put in the constitution that you can only nominate someone for president if they’re either over 80, a convicted felon who paid off a porn star, or have brain worms and a taste for barbecued dog, but that’s the system we’ve got. At least once we elect them they get full impunity

Hi everyone! One *extremely meaningful* thing you can do to fight back is to join library boards. Usually this is an appointed position, not elected. The time commitment for most public library board members is 1-2 hours monthly. I'm a former library director. Ask me anything.
