I never understand the “voters are blameless and it’s impossible for anything to be their fault” idea.
“Democracy” literally means “people power.” The entire idea is that the people get to collectively make choices. And they can make bad ones.
With great power comes great responsibility, folks.

One of the problems with our capitalist overlords these days is they don't care about making money and profit as much as they should.
I mean that mostly sincerely: If they cared more about money than status or authority, we'd be much better off in most respects.

The thing I've never understood about cracking down on adults' access to ADHD medication is the fact that stimulants make people more productive whether they actually have ADHD or not. Shouldn't our capitalist overlords want exactly that?
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

On Aug 24, 1869, Ohio Rep. John Bingham, principal framer of the 14th amendment, gave a remarkable speech on “Equal Rights-Impartial Suffrage,” in which he said of those who sought to reject the principal of birthright citizenship, “no greater political atrocity than this can possibly be committed.”

If the Court arbitrarily strikes down this key part of the fourteenth amendment, I think Americans lose any moral obligation to show any allegiance to the laws enforced by a fundamentally lawless regime
Birthright citizenship is probably not integral to liberal democracy, but it is integral to *American* liberal democracy. Our vision of what we are as a country, as a nation beyond an ethnicity, requires it.

220 judges, including 23 appointed by Trump, have ruled that this administration’s mass detention policies are unlawful.
They are sending tens of thousands of innocent immigrants into for-profit prisons with subhuman conditions and no access to attorneys. It’s horrific.

dred scott, in their minds, established the united states as a place of tiered citizenship and permanent inequality among americans. it was a ruling that said, in effect, that all men *were not* created equal and would *never* be treated as such.
