I know my old audience largely hasn’t followed me here, but is there any appetite for an old transliberalism style study deep dive?

I am one million percent here for the anti-Chicago Law posts

happy 4/20 to those who celebrate?

listening to a podcast of my ancestors having dinner conversations because nobody has dinner conversations anymore because everybody's listening to podcasts of their ancestors having dinner conversations because

happy anniversary to those who celebrate

who in the party is convincing democrats to post like this

JB Pritzker went on his podcast and Stewart started asking ridiculously small-minded questions about the abolition of cash bail in Illinois. Jon Stewart is a really irritating dude

tell em again Jay Bob

Entire US attorney system needs to be junked in '29 and replaced with a US prosecution service, independent like the GAO. We can never trust to go back to the Golden Age of the USDOJ ™️ when his excellency the POTUS exercised unlimited discretion over the agents of the state but just didn't use it.

i feel bad for todays kids theyre on the internet getting addicted to ai generated pomni porn at age 13 and then at age 16 theyll have to fly mech suits in china/us cobalt wars.and never get to meet the real pomni and know true love

i am jack's urge to doomscroll. i am jack's awareness that this is the only content i'll consume when i do it and i am jack's decision to do it anyways

this happened to me and i will not be improving btw

democrats are out of touch because i like steam sales

Statement from the Cuban Ministry of the Interior of the event: "Note from the Ministry of the Interior: On the morning of February 25, 2026, a violating speedboat was detected within Cuban territorial waters. The vessel, registered in Florida, United States..."

This book absolutely rules. Feels like I'm taking a college course on Congress when I'm reading it.

what planet is this person from that he thinks this story is flattering for Alito. this makes him look like a complete jerk on a very personal level. incredible loser stuff

HmmAI adds "Wow" response, is acquired by Elon Musk for $900b

What the fuck man

I think the NYT needs to hire someone whose entire job is asking "Who gives a shit" when someone pitches a dumbass story like this

not even going to engage with the "puerto ricans are americans" conversation, but why are they even asking the players about this. the halftime show isn't even for them. don't they need to like, eat some orange slices and change their socks or something. i bet a ton of them spend that time pooping.

There should be no doubt that JB Pritzker is The Guy for 2028. No doubt whatsoever. Blows Newsom out of the water, and nobody else comes close. America's #1 class traitor will destroy all the secret creepy billionaires funding JD Vance and the other pedophiles

Logging onto bsky and looking for reasons to get mad

I haven't been this excited to read something since Constitution of Conflict. Which wasn't that long ago, but before that, it's a long time.

Basically the new John Waters heuristic is to not sleep with anyone who boastfully uses ChatGPT

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It takes a special kind of loser to refer to flying to Minneapolis and staying at a hotel to do pepper spray drive-bys as being "in-theater." Pissbabies to the bone. I cannot imagine a more babyish caricature of the great big gap between their picture of themselves as menly men and the reality.

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

Here's @charles01.bsky.social's summary in the @liberalcurrents.com Discord, which I found nice and succinct:

I think Foner says this specifically about the framers of the 14th amendment. Equal protection, privileges and immunities, etc are all elastic terms to be decided by each generation thru the political process, not fixed in stone in the 1860s.

Josh Chafetz and Thomas Bell argue the Constitution is a work of political architecture and is not so legal in nature as many people think. Separation of powers is more a political principle than a legal doctrine, and by treating it as a legal doctrine, SCOTUS actually undermines its effectiveness.

This right here is one of my great pet peeves: THERE WERE NOT ONLY ONE GROUP OF FOUNDERS. The Reconstruction Founders led a massive, important constitutional change, and we don’t need to look at English common law to understand what equality, citizenship, and freedom meant. WE WERE OUR OWN NATION.

Americans voted to bring back measles. Wasn’t front of mind for most voters, sure, but the pro-measles contingent was a key part of the Trump 2024 coalition, with RFK Jr. and “MAHA” possibly the margin of victory in a close race. Vaccines were on the ballot. The plurality was anti- or didn’t care.

good morning to all my twin cities parents

These guys are so stupid dawg. The most visible fuckups you can possibly imagine for the construction of a police state

this is uplifting news I look forward to every single month

These reforms are good and substantial given what is stacked against Democrats. That said, I think the sentence "this full conversation with the caucus has really begun after Alex Pretti's murder" is so damning. What country have you guys been living in?

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

This is another reason why it’s more apt to say ICE is a return to pre civil rights policing, not a departure from policing itself. Post 60s the cops learned that PR was perhaps the most important part of preserving impunity. Now ICE is fucking up the bag.

installing a browser plugin that replaces "AI", "chatgpt", "claude", and all the other synonyms with the word "cleverbot" like im putting on the glasses from they live

you complain that the argument of "opposition to immigration is just racism" is normative and not empirical, and in the same piece, you "debunk" the "myth" that immigration is about helping the vulnerable and treat it as an empirical claim when it obviously is not.
