Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

Perhaps the most important passage in @alexispauline.bsky.social’s (2024) biography of Audre Lorde? “Weight” describes how Audre’s father ensured Audre had access to a [feminist] high school where, “Audre, tokenized among the elite of New York City, learned that she was as smart as anybody.”

I called exactly what would happen in Trump's second term, before he'd even won his first term! Because they literally wrote down everything that they planned to do, and all of the people that tried to point this out (mostly Black people) were shouted down by centrists and pundits.

My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration.
It's very strange for me to realize I wasn't pessimistic enough.

Basically, as long as they can keep one district gerrymandered reliably deep red, the MO GOP can kill popular democracy in their state. A metaphor for the entire country - rigged minority rule. (with some help by some bad antiquated design in the original superstructure)
Missouri’s referendum on minimum wage and paid sick leave last year won by a margin of 58 to 42 percent statewide. Under a proposal advanced by the GOP, it would have failed because it didn’t win more than 50 percent in every congressional district.
