yes! Specifically, it leaves us vulnerable to the strategy devised by fascist Carl Schmitt: find the edges, gaps, and voids in a society where the rule of law doesn’t run and “us” becomes “them,” then *push them inwards*, until these places of exception become the norm and the rule of law is dead. 🧵
this conception of what constitutes a nation is inherently toxic and necessarily leaves the door open for the growth and development of the border fascism we now find ourselves suffering through
Trump's re-election campaign is going to be running favorable quotes from ... [checks notes] ... Senator Bernie Sanders.

Yep, don’t worry, Virginia just prefers its democracy tapas-style

Kudos to the author for resisting the urge to say, "Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice."
I have gathered that the Los Angeles Dodgers possess something called an “ohtani,” which from context I believe to be a Large Baseball Man of great power

These GOP members could be back in DC voting on a bill to end mid-decade redistricting, to stop all states, including GOP ones. A bill was introduced to do just that!

But they really only care about helping Trump. Not representing Virginians.

Miss me with these crocodile tears.
One of my fondest memories from my and my husband’s wedding night is heading to McCormack’s with our wedding party after the reception and having some excellent cocktails—and a couple of celebratory shots—with some of our closest friends.
I look forward to a beer or several at this spot the next time I'm in RVA.

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for.
Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.
get in losers we’re building the Seventh Party System
Wow this is rough. Gov Kathy Hochul is speaking the Zohran rally. She's listing examples of Trump admin overreach in NY and the crowd is heckling her loudly, chanting, "do something, you're the governor." Taking forever for her to get through her speech.

this is because a successful bipartisan project of the last 40 years has been obfuscating all of the things the government does
I think very often people do not realize the sheer *scale* of government, particularly the US government.
There are already food banks/depositories in every district & a ton of Democrats have been doing events to support them, but if no one besides a staffer posts about it, no one knows about it.

Even with a massive support, it's not replacing $100 billion in SNAP. We need a functional government!
I agree. This would be a step towards our prisons becoming something other than a void of rights and dignity.
This is an excellent start. Hot take: prisoners absolutely must get the vote. They are our fellow citizens and must be treated as such.
Virginia Senator Scott Surovell says it’s offensive that his state makes people “get on their hands and knees and beg the governor” for their voting rights. He's championed automatic rights restoration for people released from prison.

I’ve had dozens of people tell me they cried when they read COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, because they never heard someone say that food aversions are okay. The art director at PRH for the book cried when we were talking about it, because she finally felt seen! Radical acceptance is the way. 💜
I'm going to start doing 4 hours of cooking a week for a disabled neighbor and we just went over their list of foods and had a really in-depth conversation about it and their impulse was to apologize for having "weird" rules and it was healing to tell them I had almost the same preferences!

Being done in our name by our own government to our neighbors. Disgusting.
Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.
I love all standing stones, but these ones say “lol” and I love that for them
Mên-an-Tol is probably from the Bronze Age, making it around 3,500 years old (little evidence has been found). It consists of four stones, the most unusual being the circular and pierced upright stone. The other three stones are more regular granite pillars. #StandingStoneSunday

I think this dovetails nicely with Capital A Abundance too: being able to get a legal challenge resolved in 30 days vs being able to do so in a year is a huge. Without any statutory changes could potentially unlock a lot of productive capacity that way.

I think a pseudo-niche political opinion that I’m developing is judge-maxing. Both the United States and the world generally need far greater number of judges. I think we need legal-abundance: an oversupplied court system able to both clear simple cases quickly and devote more time to complex ones.
