Oof. You're parsing threads and missing whole cloth. Journalists and donors can, through words or money, nudge the needle in ways that tens of millions can't. What the populace does have is our vote, which we used to vote for Biden in the primary, and you all want to take away even that.

Would wager many voters don't know he's gay. It came up in the '20 primary that people voting for him didn't know, and that was just Dems. Absolutely sucks. At least with Harris the bigotry is likely accounted for in the polls.

Listened to Lawfare's podcast on the issue this morning and was a little stunned that Ben Wittes breezed by the NY case. @kovarsky.bsky.social jumped in to say, hold up there.

Nothing can be assumed anymore!

If they do put Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket, I am prepared for a level of misogynoir unwitnessed since Rosa Parks sat down on that bus.

Trump could order the assassination of Eric Adams, and NY could prosecute him. But DC would have no recompense if he sets the same order to Muriel Bowser.

there are no state crimes in the District of Columbia. there is nothing now, no law, no system of justice, that prevents a President from ordering the slaughter of judges or of federal legislators at their place of office and then pardoning his execution squad.

I really have lost my former tolerance for "we're doomed/fucked/it's all over/they've won" takes at this point, in that they're the most dangerous attitudes one could possibly have when confronted with a truly existential political threat (which we still DO have levers to address).

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

Hard agree. They should also be hammering at so many of Trump's former cabinet and military advisors now saying he's unfit for office. Run commercials with one quote/audio clip after another. Over and over and over. If any are willing, line them up to speak at the DNC.
