“We need a strong institution that sits outside of electoral politics, that is not at the mercy of right wing courts, that has its own inherent form of power that can be exercised on behalf of the public good, that will naturally work towards progressive goals.… [T]hat is the labor movement.”

Whoever is the Democratic nominee, I hope that people are aware that there are going to be MAJOR protests at the Dem Convention in Chicago. People are going to be protesting US ongoing support of genocide and much more. I hope this doesn't lead to more social media freaking out.

Classic American political dialogue is premised on the idea that we share fundamental values but disagree on how best to promote them. I haven’t believed this for a while. Other than “I prefer to be alive and not dead” and “I like pudding,” I do not share values with these people.

let me make this clear: not voting is a vote for trump. voting for a third party is also a vote for trump. you might think voting for biden is safe but no sorry those votes go to trump too. votes for trump himself however get stored in an unused walk in freezer at mar a lago and count toward 2028.

Twelve (12) articles about Biden's age on the NYT home page. Scroll down for a good while and at the bottom of the right column you can find just two (2) articles about the Supreme Court's immunity decision, neither of which state in the headline that the president is now a king.

we’re supposed to be the helpers, AND: you should still start by looking for the helpers… and then ask how you can pitch in. there are very few areas to help where someone isn’t helping already, and our efforts accomplish more when we work together. look for the helpers so you can join them.

If people don't understand how crucial local abortion funds are to folks actually getting their procedures or pills, here's the latest example: National Abortion Federation and Planned Parenthood are slashing patient grants from 50% to 30% of what callers need. Thirty percent.

At the risk of being tiresome in reposting my own writings on the separation of powers and executive accountability, since prominent scholars are now in the news saying "habeas corpus will still be OK"— Montesquieu's insight was precisely that it won't be.
