Oh they know. After 2016 election I went thru their bulletin boards to see who these people were, and they were talking about repealing the 19th.

He could see how upset I was so he broke it down plainly: Why did you make this all about yourself and how you felt? You missed out on the chance to focus on the people who were right in front of you. Three of them who you could have recruited to join you. We always need more people.

I don’t disagree. I have more hope for WaPo bc it could be turned around by replacing editor & key personnel.🤞 Whereas the rot at the NYT is long-term & endemic.

I personally think there’s still a big difference between the WaPo and NYT. NYT essentially broke NY VRA suppression law by knowingly publishing a fraudulent “Don’t Vote” editorial by a known voter (who encouraged the opposite in RW publications)!

Yeah, the best WHCA hosts (like Wolff) are the ones who supposedly “bombed” in the room but are HILARIOUS if you’re watching it on TV.

In all seriousness, the quick call of simultaneous elections in 🇬🇧 & 🇫🇷 prolly made it tough for foreign adversaries to plan & coordinate far-right game plan.

It's depressing and infuriating how long we've had to pretend that Bibi is some sort of Great Man of History, rather than an obvious criminal whose every move is determined entirely by his short-term interests, with zero regard for anyone else on Earth.

Ellis’s text says subpoena Glassner. This is how the Trump campaign described Glassner’s role in 2020. Funny they didn’t mention paying off sexual assault suits.

In The Library Book, Susan Orleans mentions the only 2 papers to cover the 1986 LA Library fire all week were LA Times & Pravda. Because Pravda didn’t want to mention Chernobyl. NYTimes is basically Pravda.

And with the Stormy Daniels testimony, the allegation that he raped a 13-y.o. is more credible—both in terms of how he silences victims and when the alleged victim dropped the suit (11/16)

It’s just popping into my head again because of Chomsky discourse but the public still doesn’t talk enough about how Trump obviously knew who Jeff Epstein was, knew he deserved to rot in prison and still gave Alex Acosta (who gave him his sweetheart plea deal) a position in his cabinet

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

It's hard to even imagine the limits of the power that SCOTUS has just handed the president. If you can keep 34 senators and the military on your side, you can do anything.

Once again, the problem is not any theory of constitutional interpretation, because they don't use any consistently. It is that the Republicans on SCOTUS pick and choose and rationalize whatever reasoning is necessary to rule in favor of Republicans.

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.
