Listening to a media criticism pod and it is so frustrating that the Biden team + enablers essentially lied about his capacities all this time. I heard so many people say 'he's great in person', 'really sharp in meetings', etc. It contributes to the feeling that everything in American life is a scam

The fact that Fox News is leading with "Biden is old" instead of "Major Trump win at the Supreme Court" makes me wonder if this might be unpopular even among the MAGA crowd, which (theoretically?) leans more "Trump is our king" but also "gov't out of our business".

Today's must-read. Everything has a history, including yesterday's judicial coup on behalf of the executive, now possessing legal immunities that would be the envy of an absolute monarch.

We have to do it at the ballot box, we have to do it through strikes, we have to do it through being elected, we have to do it through direct actions. Let 100 flowers blossom. None of it can work on its own.

I also worry that the right has spent 4 yrs fear-mongering about a potential Harris administration so they have tons of ammo (fair/true or not, mostly not) they will use to tear her down the second she steps in.

Not the point, but I love the ancient doors in Italy and my tween makes fun of me mercilessly for photographing them. So glad I have evidence that I'm not the only one!

Ugh now I'm going to have to read real, professional commentary from a smart person instead of all the bsky freak-outs. Pretty sympathetic to the freak-outs, though.

When I learned this (at some point when I worked at Vox), I became an anti-debate truther. I don’t know why we put ourselves through this, short of giving the political press something to obsess over for a few days.

Naomi Klein's Doppelganger has a section on this that was so good I read it aloud to my husband who was trying to sleep. It's more about how demoralizing it is to feel like you have to be on guard against scams and grift all the time.

Yeah DC also has a ton of charters for some reason. The only problem is, New Orleans at least isn't that representative because it's ALL the schools, they're not just picking off the most low-income children or kids who have not thrived in public schools.

I saw a talk by a rich guy in New Orleans who ran a network of those extreme behaviorist schools for poor (mostly Black) kids. He was so proud of the strictness and control. In the Q&A, he had to admit he didn’t send his own daughter to one of his schools.

I think the whistleblower thing is a nonstarter because he illegally accessed the info to begin with.....not that right wing types won't try it, but legally at least it won't fly.

This is a lovely bit of writing about the Alitos. Here's a picture of a US Treasury building I took last year, with the Progress Pride flag next to the US flag. I found the Progress Pride flags on federal buildings quite moving and beautiful. I imagine the Alitos have a different reaction.

I've been moving house and highly distracted, so today I'm making an overdue thread on why you, yes you, should support Assigned Media today. Assigned is one of very few independent news outlets covering the trans moral panic. Our founder, writers and workers are overwhelmingly trans ourselves.

To the question of "is this what we have become", I *strongly* encourage you to watch this clip from CNN of Dr. Fauci talking about the threats to him and his family.

Pay close attention to the guy on his right.

Yes, this is what we have become.
