I think they would have done less dramatic illegal damage, but I think they would have established more durable legal damage.

Can't believe I got challenged about calling myself an Allendista as if I didn't know it got him killed.

That's kinda the whole point. There's one way to do this right, and we've just gotta keep trying even if it kills us.

I wouldn't name myself for a dead guy if I thought his death refuted him.

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

As I was saying to @besttrousers.bsky.social a few weeks ago, the "Abundance" label is a net negative. It's splitting the coalition internally and letting a lot of bad actors traffic destructive ideas in reputable places. YIMBY is just a better brand all around

"With no check against racial gerrymandering, a system in which voters ostensibly pick their elected officials would become one in which elected officials are freer than ever to pick their voters, leaving Black voters with even fewer legal avenues to secure fair representation."

The Supreme Court will be hearing oral argument in a pair of cases that threaten what little remains of the federal government’s ability to protect voters from racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act

This is unbelievably dangerous - @fairfightaction.bsky.social and @blackvotersmatterfund.org estimate that as many as 30% of the Congressional Black Caucus and 11% of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus could lose their seats if the Roberts court strikes down these provisions

Simply beyond the pale.

Fundamentally delegitimizing, if they are to attempt stripping citizenship and democracy from American people.

Unholy.

The siren call of electoral strategy and analysis partially crowded out work on things like law, organizational resistance, and protest. I blame myself, too

the thing that annoys me about the 'elections won't save us' shit is that it's just a permission structure to wait for a powerful national social movement, and in their want a violent one, that *will never fucking exist*.

the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist) @merovingians.bsky.social · 13h

winning elections is pretty much the only way to solidify the gains of social movements though. and winning them often enough that they can't be immediately repealed.

“Win every election” is not a viable strategy for preventing authoritarianism

American elections have rarely been free or fair, North Carolina ranks below some authoritarian states on the democracy index and has since the 60's.

People have a magical view of what elections in America look like.

There is this bizarre tendency among people who I assume should be smarter or flatly antagonistic to the regime to accept the regimes statements on their power and abilities at face value.

i do not have a lot of tolerance for people whining that Netanyahu fucked Biden over in order to get Trump in office so he could do whatever he wanted. yeah. he absolutely did that. that was obvious before 10/7.

there is no person on Earth more incompetent as a foreign policy thinker than Biden
