Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you

The Voting Rights Act Is Dead. Here’s a New Model for Black Politics.
After Callais, the old civil rights politics is moot. And more recent strategies have limited reach. Here’s how we can build something more transformative.

The story of the Iran war is that Trump lost it in the first days. Everything since has been trying to deny that cardinal fact. You can see this by the fact that everything happening since has been trying to break free Iran’s hold on the strait, something it didn’t have before the war.

If you're gonna use the term, save TACO for situations where Trump can reverse himself, and damage is financial or abstract. This is not that. This is a madman taking the world hostage, causing death and global chaos, sparing us from civilizational ruin for his own opaque reasons. No moving past it.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

The right will try to repeat their lies that the Mueller Report "exonerated Trump" or "proved Russiagate was a hoax," but it did no such thing. It was a damning account of Trump's corruption by a foreign power, whose impact was limited by a cowardly Congress and complicit press.

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.
