trump is the end of an arc that sees the party of reconstruction become the party of destruction to think the reconstruction amendments radicalized so many because choosing supremacy over equality made more sense to them

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

im so confused by the line “i miss this republican party” - i get if you miss the reconstruction era republican party but the modern republican party has devoted itself to chasing states’ right and reducing the scope of the 14th and 15th amendments

today’s relaxation

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

I keep saying we should take a note from cyberpunk(ttrpg) and take the current internet, shove it into a network isolated basement, and start the fuck over

so close to understanding the arc of the conservative movement in the united states like what if mccain was an outlier? a man who couldn’t rise above senator from arizona because he didn’t quite understand the base as it were

The position most supported by polling is to simultaneously abolish ICE and build the wall

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

“.. Our BTC price target is 0.0. That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us,” the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as “a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq.” #Bitcoin seekingalpha.com/news/4547997...

The fact that *not one* person in Harris' camp can explain why they shouldn't launch their fucking media operation on the Substack platform is... probably all you need to know about that endeavor.

so far so good the story of how we go from the party of reconstruction to the party of deconstruction is the saddest arc in american history

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

The post-industrial period of a developed economy is characterized by three phases. Until the 2010s, we were in a service economy. Now we are in a scam economy. And we are about to find out what phase comes next.

"I'm sure you see it, too. It's as clear as day. That's right. As Arc Raiders takes place in Italy, this is a stop sign that's failing to observe Articles 144, 145, and 148 of Title 2 of the Regolamento di Esecuzione e di Attuazione del Nuovo Codice della Strada."

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS. Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Anti-woke, worse—a lot worse, tbh—than woke. “The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a ‘racist.’” mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

i don’t know who any of these people are :(

Among (lots of) other things, this is going to flood the federal courts of appeals with cases in which the BIA might previously have cleaned up the IJ's messes. When something like this happened in 2004, the circuit courts ... did not respond favorably to the government's positions in those cases.

Persistent reports of ICE using drones, including this highly suspected ICE drone photographed being launched from a suburban park. It’s a HoverFly Spectre, a “tethered” surveillance drone flown over unspooling fiber-optic cables. I’d be curious if anyone knows a civilian use case
