I’m not pretending to understand the point of this, but for people/others who say “if voting mattered, they’d make it illegal,” I mean “they” sort of are. They’re at the very least giving it a damn try! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

As far as I'm concerned anyone telling people not to vote, in this election or any other, is doing for malign purposes, and the only correct response is "Well now I am going to vote EVEN HARDER."

If you're at all confused by the scope of what the Supreme Court just did in TFG's immunity case, this is a very good explainer.

EVEN Trump lawyers and advisers were genuinely surprised at how close the Supreme Court majority got to his absurd “total” immunity argument. They expected a partial victory. They did not expect this kind of technically partial but also massive win: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Again, selectively ignoring blatant corruption and the criminalization of the press because “oh well that’s just Mississippi, they should move out the state lol” is how you signal there’s no commitment at all for a true politics of solidarity, commitment to principles.

1/ I often write: The only thing I know *for certain* about the future is that it has not happened yet. Yesterday’s SCOTUS ruling is a perfect example of how much I need to heed my own mantra. For years, I heard Donald Trump was saying that he was certain that “his Supreme Court justices” . . .
