I hope that everyone sees now that it’s not about the candidates on the Democratic side having “flaws” as much as the machine designed to construct these very normal, human limitations into excuses not to vote for them. Gore, Kerry, Clinton, now Biden: It’s always about sowing apathy.

“It is not just that my side — the ideas I believe in like bodily autonomy, economic justice and diversity — are losing in the marketplace of ideas. It is that many of the ideas that I believe in absolutely kill in the marketplace of ideas, and it *does not matter*.”

Under today’s immunity decision, Biden could order AG Garland to immediately prosecute Thomas and Alito for corruption and insurrection. (Official act). If Garland refuses, Biden can fire him and replace him with someone who will. (Official act) I would suggest Elie Mystal.

the thing about replacing biden with harris is that if literally anyone in her orbit thought there was a single chance in hell she was interested, it'd be all over axios, politico and the NYT already. it's a dead letter written by bored columnists who aren't talented to enough to write about sports

one of the problems with modern politics reporting is that it should not be on me, shitposter, to have to explain presidential campaign fundamentals to the general public, this is literally the job of politics reporters and they are virtually all failures at it

It’s been pretty instructive to watch how — over the course of the war — institutions have reframed rhetoric as physical violence, and massive, indiscriminate physical violence as unworthy of discussion

I read a LOT more about the potential national security risks a private email server could possibly pose hypothetically if it contained secrets that it didn’t than I have about what risk there is in Trump literally getting paid by foreign governments and stealing intelligence. A LOT MORE.

It’s wild to watch the Times wrap itself in the First Amendment when it comes to doxxing jurors. They protect the identities of sources all the time to shield them from mild professional consequences!
