any justice voting to overturn the 14th a. should be impeached. sorry but if you're confused by the plain text of the constitution you are not operating within the bounds of 'good behavior'.

sure this sucks but have you considered that from day one its going to be filled with the worst people in dc

third way more like turd way amirite

tidying up the desktop like a pool shark. slowly at first, my coworkers gather behind me placing side bets. they hold their breath as i drag 400 pdfs into the trash. nobody notices as an intern faints.

There unfortunately isn't a way to organize a society that is immune to somebody seizing control by violence. There is no simple answer to precisely when a democracy must defend itself from antidemocratic fascism, but every democracy will someday defend its ideals with blood else it will perish.

there are about 120,000 polling places and ¾ of states have some form of mail-in voting. there are about 22,000 immigration enforcement agents total. ICE can indeed terrorize a medium-sized city and harass others, but this fear-mongering about elections is innumerate nonsense.

the american right wing controls three branches of federal government and controls a significant portion of national news media. nobody is learning anything here, this is just a proto-fascist social club for dummies.

Montgomery County Immigrant Rights Collective has their heart in the right place, but its apparently run by the dumbest motherfuckers in the DMV

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

Third Way is not 'the Democrats', its our nation's premier think tank for dumb centrist policy. Sarah Pierce is a DHS alum and both she and Erickson have been pushing their personal center-right immigration agenda for years.

remember that when people finally come around to your project, its time to grit your teeth and, with careful grace, welcome them. even if they're joe rogan and still dumb as shit.

I wrote book reviews for a while for the WSJ well over a decade ago, and Bari Weis was my editor. One of her special tricks was to try to insert a sharp rightward slant into my essays *after* it had been copy edited, as a way of slipping her viewpoint in at the last minute.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

at every opportunity, waste their time. they are wildly understaffed and every minute they're dealing with your dumb bullshit somebody is left free to live their life..

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

Prosecution should be welcomed as the humane compromise. DOGE employees should fear extrajudicial murder.

First you will come to the Sirens who enchant all who come near them. If any one unwarily draws in too close and hears the singing of the Sirens, his wife and children will never welcome him home again, for they sit in a green field and warble him to death with the sweetness of their song.

its because in elite circles, having good connections to other elites is the only social status that matters. doesn't matter if you raped kids, if you know the president of harvard and the former white house chief council, you can provide introductions that matter more than what crimes you did.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

good. they are.

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

You should call your senator whether they're on this list or not. This is a small group of people looking for political cover so they can do something they themselves barely believe in. If the rest of the caucus tells them they're on their own, there's a better chance nobody folds.

i don't care if the death penality is desired by every person on earth, abolishing it is a moral good. matthew here holds no such values and he is a sadder, weaker man for it.
