Big fan of democracy, scientific skepticism, intersectional social justice and human rights. You know, freedom. Nerdy about several less crucial things that I would love to get back to. Please.

this case against biden's resignation makes sense. i do think that if biden decides to step away from reelection, he should explicitly say that he is doing this because House Republicans are too corrupt to confirm a replacement for Harris.

(1/?) “It would be naïve to depend on the Supreme Court to defend the rights of poor people, women, people of color, dissenters of all kinds. Those rights only come alive when citizens organize, protest, demonstrate, strike, boycott, rebel, and violate the law in order to uphold justice.”

Another thing you can do is call Dick Durbin's office and demand he stand up for democracy and haul Alito and Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And publicly demand their resignations. If you can't literally impeach them, AT LEAST use the bully pulpit. 202-224-2152.

What are they going to discuss? If they still have the guts to sentence him even for crimes committed BEFORE he was president?

My political awaking was the moment I realized that Presidents enjoyed a presumption of immunity, ever since George W. Bush illegally invaded the wrong country, authorized torture and suspended habeas corpus. But honestly we all should have been marching long before that.

The slogan is "It's a Republic, not a democracy." They don't talk about *direct* democracy as distinct, because the point is to erode faith in democracy, not to argue with intellectual honesty.

The Supreme Court just confirmed what many have suspected was always the law: they will not hold elites to account, because that undermines the illusion that we live in a meritocracy and are right to defer to the wisdom of our rulers.

Trump tells his rally crowd Chuck Schumer has “become a Palestinian.” Second time this week he’s used “Palestinian” to describe non-Palestinians he dislikes as if the word is a slur. I remain skeptical of the claim that Trump becoming president next year would improve the lives of Palestinians.

I was going to go to Vegas to report Trump's first rally as a felon--not for "news" but to listen for tone, for the mood of fascism as it mutates. But I decided it was too hot, so I stayed in VT & watched 5 hrs of it from an obscure rightwing network. And I made pictures... 1/

Media Matters has a very high ROI - so high that two Republican AGs are suing it, ostensibly for "fraud" in how it covers Elon Musk, ideally to expose its internal operations and shut it down. A good case study in the perennial "liberal donors get bored and don't build" story.

Zombie mortgage debt collectors are turning people out of their homes bc yes, they are actually the worst humans, but they also know justice for their victims will move too slowy to stop them, and that any eventual punishment for their fraud will never outweigh their profits.

Has anyone ever had scandal-hungry political reporters run as much interference for them as Trump? The campaign itself doesn't even seem to be making this (absurd) defense. It's just the AP reporter spitballing some ideas.

one thing non-Catholics need to understand about the subset of 'traditionalist' Catholics who never accepted (or are suspicious of) the changes brought about the Second Vatican Council is that one of the things they were most upset about is that the church told them they had to give up hating Jews

The precise difference, I think, is this: If Trump calls Ted Cruz a pussy, it makes the headline. But if Kamala Harris tells minority kids to kick the fucking door down in response to bigotry, the headline is “a PROFANE OATH has escaped our Vice President” and you don’t see her message til graf 4.
