This opinion appeals to Musk because it treats women and children as objects without autonomy, which appeals to subhuman techbros in his crowd.
This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy.
Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality.
John Roberts > Roger Taney.
Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

Trump wants to prevent people who worked in fact-checking or combating misinformation from entering this country.

«Trump annonce son intention d’acquérir l’immense île, ancienne colonie danoise, elle est "essentielle à sécurité des E-U", déclare-t-il. Lorsque la Première min. danoise qualifie l’idée d’absurde, c’est la crise diplomatique. Trump annule une visite à Copenhague : il juge la p.m. "désagréable"

Time for a third reconstruction of American democracy.
The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:
- Lifetime terms for high court judges
- An electoral college for choosing an executive
- A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities
- 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

The right is dominating the Overton Window in all western, liberal democracies, and it's not doing anyone any favors.
This really needs emphasizing. The entirety of the UK media ecosystem is utterly fixated on a 100% fabricated "crisis".
Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.
Not that you would know it from the endless coverage of Britain's supposed "immigration crisis"

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.
I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.
