Lawyer in tech. Here to geek out about history, law, and Star Trek. Not the Peter Holm who married Joan Collins in the 80s.

Here's exactly why this matters: the GOP knows that the country is quickly becoming more diverse. Democracy -- allowing more people to vote -- means that they are out of office. Being anti-democracy is a fancy way of saying you would like the return of John C. Calhoun.

I have wanted somebody else to vote for since 2019. It is why I volunteered for a different campaign in the 2020 primary. That was the time to do shit about this specific issue. The time has passed. There is work to do and bitch ass centrists need to squaew up do the work if they are afraid.

Here's the thing: the people pulling the fire alarm on Trump v. US are people like Radley, Legal Eagle and @kenwhite.bsky.social , etc. I've followed these guys for years and they are not prone to panic-mongering. They're usually the ones saying, "Take a deep breath". It really is that bad.

The claim that Project 2025 is "fearmongering" pairs nicely with the Project 2025 people saying they will kill anyone who gets in their way

Love how a certain type of dude takes an opening to dunk on right-wing women who are fascist, anti-intellectual, cruel, vapid bullies to call them sluts and make other anti-sex, misogynist, weird puritanical sounding comments. Focus bros, try really really hard to focus on what actually matters k.

Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

How does fascism even know when to stop like it's logical end point is just one incredibly racist guy atop a planet of literally rotting corpses What kind of a win is that, long term, especially compared to something like fully automated luxury gay space communism?

Thousands in the streets of Paris celebrating and cheering “no pasaran” or "They will not pass” as the far right falls out n France’s election. Just absolutely amazing scenes tonight across France as they fight the fascists back. Now it’s our time to be brave and come together to for a united front.

For the rest of their lives, whenever the justices in the Trump majority meet a member of the public, they should hear only one thing: “You betrayed the American constitutional order.” Let them hear it at every law school Q&A, every cocktail party, and every trip to the store.

People are getting confused and thinking this means I think Joe Biden is the ideal candidate or that nobody else would do a better job - not true! I just think that decision was made four years ago and reversing it is a guaranteed path to utter catastrophe

To be clear, this bill is nonsense, and he is straight-up calling for the murder of every Democrat in Congress. It is already illegal, as a matter of federal law, for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. This doesn't change that. What it does is a national ID mandate for voter registration.
