Get American presidents to pass it first. Then scrap the ridiculous idea.

It looks to me like the various leaders in Trump’s orbit, know this jig is soon to be up. They smile and take his compliments, but they sure don’t linger. Smile with the baby while the picture gets taken, but quickly remove yourself before the tantrum starts.

Calmly googling the effects of the collapse of the AMOC on Nova Scotia weather. Taking a moment to realize where we are right now and what is seemingly immanent.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

It's dangerous to say, but since it is true, it's more dangerous to not say: The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body. It's been deliberately and systematically captured by ideologues on behalf of an anti-Constitutional project, and its extremist members have been bribed.

If Carney had balls his reply to Trump’s 51st state crap would be to reply: “not on your life, but we’ll happily take Washington, Oregon and California off your hands as you seem to be unable to contain your hatred of those three states. Cascadia 2025!”

I personally believe that the steady erosion of regulators by oligarchs to the point where our entire corporate accountability structure is hollow artifice is BAD, but I have a reputation for extremism

I swear men have regressed beyond the most juvenile version of themselves, to something that barely resembles a human being as we know them.

Not a big capital punishment fan but, I do think that anyone caught starting a fire (regardless of how big it gets or how much damage and how many lives it takes) should be put in a public stockade for a very long time.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

“The reality is that the court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power.”

To understand the Supreme Court's role in Trump's authoritarian project, I turned to the idea of a dual state: an authoritarian regime that keeps up a facade of normalcy

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

If I was Trump I’d be way more worried about soy bean farmers being radicalized and using me as their origin story than any left leaning antifa mf

science is right and you can believe otherwise, but you are wrong. We have to stop giving credence to half-baked notions and follow through on our societal investment in the science of vaccines.
