i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

I totally understand people being disappointed in all the things that didnāt happen. Thatās natural. Thatās politics in a massively divided government. But the aggressive despair to opt out is self-defeating.

It was buried by other news, but, as a reminder, at the debate Trump gave a complete bullshit answer about Ukraine, literally copying Nixon's fake "secret plan" to end the Vietnam War. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

all the money is in engagement growth (of any kind) at impossible-to-manage scale there's no money to be made in protecting consumers, the historical record, journalism, education, or a shared collective reality that's a wonderful environment for conspiratorial authoritarianism to thrive

A thing we like to point out is how people who donāt really care about the outcomes have the privilege to be unaffected. Thereās another thing, too. When the positive outcomes have helped others but maybe less so you, so you donāt think those outcomes are important.

Biden should not have promised not to use his new powers. He should instead have closed his remarks by saying, "The Supreme Court made one mistake. They let me live."

Sellers on Fiverr advertise services to dox anyone for $30. Many of them claim to do so w/ a data tool provided by TransUnion to law enforcement and private investigators. While some of them are likely scammers, itās really be better if credit bureaus and data brokers didnāt exist.

He sent a mob to kill his own vice president. Of course heād kill a camp full of immigrants. A protest full of trans activists. A Pride parade. A BLM demonstration. Remember, Pence so distrusted the Secret Service agents in the Capitol on Jan 6 that he refused to get in the car with them to evac.

There are a lot of dire reasons not to let that guy back in the White House. This ruling might be the most important one yet. He would absolutely order extrajudicial executions of his enemies and people who make fun of him on TV.

Remember when a group of crypto bros bought a copy of 'Jodorowsky's Dune' for $3 million (around 100x more than it was worth) thinking they could turn it into NFTs and an animated series because they didn't understand what copyright is?

Something most Americans would be shocked to learn is how responsive the federal administrative state is to complaints and inquiries. Agencies like the FCC, FTC, EPA, etc., want to get your tips and questions. And they follow up. Thatās what SCOTUS wants to steal from you.

I donāt think Bernie was ever going to clear the gap of people who still resented him for 2016 and the rest of them were canceling each other out. Biden was the most popular candidate with Black voters and that cinched it for him. He was the one who could build the coalition.

Also: one of the best things about bsky is that there is no algorithm. You control what you see by following people and curated feeds you choose. So get some cats. Get some baby animals. Get some nature and funny web comics. You are the master of your own skyline.

Let me tell you why this is b/c of Covid: DeSantis has become a hardcore anti-vaxxer b/c it made him popular with the MAGA right during Covid. So he took it a step further and began waging a war on all child vaccines. Then all public health. He vetoed a bill that would have empowered the state DOH.
