One failed attempt at a shoe bomb and we all take our shoes off at the airport. One failed attempt at overthrowing our country and we still allow the guy who orchestrated it to run for President so he can do it again. Why aren’t we protecting America from right-wing terrorism?

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

Regardless of how viewers respond to the new community-led installation, this is a salutary reminder that disputes over statues on public display are emphatically not a recent phenomenon born of so-called "woke" politics. Good to have a reminder of a Victorian iteration of these "culture wars": 1/4

In Germany, the most common standard form of a company is GmbH, which means Gemeinschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, and pretty much translates to Company with limited Liability. I’m not really sure why Western countries still act as if that wasn’t the obvious core issue with them.

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...

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

This semester I’m going to tell my students I don’t care if they use ChatGPT to write their papers, much as I don’t care if they use LSD and a ouija board write their papers. I’ll give fancy-sounding bullshit a failing grade no matter how it’s produced.

There was no GOP party platform in 2020, and Trump wants to shrink the proposed 2024 one. He opposes providing detail on how radical his second term will be because he knows its unpopular. Make no mistake: Project 2025 was written by Trump appointees & loyalists. Its their shared agenda.

Also, while RCV is better, no system squeezing the opinions of millions of people down to a limited number of choices is going to make people happy. As John Stewart said, "It's an election. It's supposed to taste like a shit taco."

If you're not doing it to send a message (as opposed to influencing an outcome, even if only to push that outcome harder), it's not performative.

There's a simple and obvious but essential order of operations here: 1) Elect pro-democracy Democrats to WH, Congress 2) Get rid of the filibuster, without which you can't do anything else 3) Expand/rebalance the court, without with the Court will block anything else 4) Lots more democracy reforms

With regard to former Sec. of Defense Mark Esper’s chilling account that then-President Trump wanted troops confronting protestors in Lafayette Park to “shoot them in the legs”, I’d love to hear someone ask the follow up question whether Trump understood that people would fall & get hit in torso.

Also, they may be dialing 911 depending on the place and how loud you are. So be good to the people around you. If you insist on performative voting, please restrict it to an audience of one, because that's the number of people it will matter to in the end. /fin

If you proceed to tell everyone what you're doing, then only those who share your fetish are going to appreciate it at all, but only as validation of their own should-have-been-private actions, and everyone else is reaching for the cleaning supplies and the hand sanitizer. /4

If you're doing it privately (and we hope you are), then no-one will ever find out about it at all. If you photograph the evidence then a lot of people are going to think you're kind of strange, and maybe need to set some clearer boundaries. /3

Performative voting is kind of like masturbating while imagining someone in order to spite someone else. The person you're not imagining will never know about it, at most, the person you're thinking about might appreciate the votes in aggregate, but your particular vote is meaningless to them. /2

One of my biggest "grinds my gears" is performative voting, or voting in a non-primary election for the purpose of "sending a message." I've been raving about it for years, but I think I finally have the words to describe exactly what I think about it. Buckle up. /1
