This is the sort of gangsterism that even Genghis Khan found to be offensive, it breaks a taboo that predates the very idea of true international law.

failing to think that through in advance on a day when you know you’ll be speaking to neil gorsuch should be disbarment worthy lol

Indivisible is now proposing a national general strike. But even as "No Kings" refers to Trump as a dictator, it's not calling for him to be removed from power. Are millions of Americans with at-will employment going to risk their job to "demand a government that invests in our communities"?

You’ve got to be able to hold a few different thoughts in your head simultaneously! À la @dorfonlaw.bsky.social (1) this had to play out this way (2) Trump will lose this time (3) they’re shifting the Overton window (4) we’re bolstering the same institution that’s going to be our undoing.

Biden's most enduring accomplishment tbh

OH HELL YES. NEIL GORSUCH, THE LAST JUSTICE OF THE MOCHICANS, ASKS "Do you think Native Americans are citizens of the united states." IF YOU TRIP GORSUCH'S NATIVE AMERICAN WIRES, YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY, SIR!

also israel is an overt and open enemy of american democracy

If you promise the electorate their food shop will be cheaper and it continues to rise, no matter how much, then they're allowed to judge you harshly on that.

this is what we commonly call a “trap card” and you should probably know that there is a correct and incorrect answer to it as a lawyer appearing before the court

This is a massively underappreciated practical & logistical problem. There are at least hundreds of children found abandoned every year, but more importantly, TENS TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS who have no father listed at birth.

milsky didn’t get “military will resist illegal orders” wrong. those predictions were all about a hypothetical scenario in which trump orders a domestic crackdown

Both Roberts and Gorsuch sound intensely skeptical of the Trump administration's arguments against birthright citizenship. The three liberals have already opposed Trump's executive order. So if this holds, there's five votes against Trump right there.

Is Gorsuch that judge who is insanely right-wing in every conceivable way, except in matters related to Native American, in which he is to the left of Lenin?

every new fact I learn about Thomas Jefferson forces me to radically recontextualize all of the other ones and frankly I'm tired

@heatherherbert.uk www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

fuck the supreme court, disgusting ruling. the fight for liberation continues. every bit of fascist overreach is a sign of how desperate they're becoming.

hope is literally all we have. hope keeps us fighting for liberation.

flagrantly unconstitutional, and probably likely to get blocked.

Israeli Public Diplomacy since 2023 makes Wolf Warrior diplomacy look nuanced and effective

To all the trans ppl out there worried about your rights: This regime is actively committing suicide. They're mere months away from either accepting a catastrophic lost landslide election or tumbling into a legitimacy crisis they will lose. And Dems will make sure you can live freely and normally.

Also I’ll be stunned if the US press ever reports anything close to “Trump loses war”. The White House and Fox / Newsmax circuit will just pretend he won and the Washington Post / NYT cohort will waffle about “the bold unorthdoxy of the Trump doctrine” or some utter bollox.

If the Israeli Knesset members' lapel pins shaped as little nooses isn't where you say peace-out to that fascist state, you're just carrying residual nostalgia for some fantasy version of Israel that exists only in your head.

It’s time to ask what the FUCK is wrong with Shabana Mahmood and her implementation of policies that the 1970s National Front might say was going too far

"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

So:

Being angry something bad happened doesn't make you directionally correct if you direct your anger at someone who didn't do the bad thing.

Among other things, national Democrats all taking Peltola's position on Alaskan oil and minerals would mean Peltola would have to find another issue to differentiate herself from the national party with.

I actually have pretty nuanced views on the whole "is all art political?" thing but every time that one of you says "all art is political, shut up, there is no possible positive reason why you might claim otherwise" my fight instinct turns on and starts firing on all cylinders.

The most beautiful poem in the Lithuanian literary canon is actually a straightforward "fuck you lol" to being expected to write about politics

death before detransition, as it always is

Strikes me as an absurd threat, either we need the 4000 new training places or we don’t

Can the Spanish left get it together? This is their third alliance in like, 6 years?

But yeah the reason Mamdani is perceived as a bigger threat is because he actually is. He won the mayoralty and channeled a significant discontent with the pro-Israel consensus under a persuasive framework. For now the NYT et al don't really think of groypers as being capable of doing that.

The reason they want his politics to fail is that an anti-Zionism rooted in a multiracial social democratic humanism is genuinely in keeping with the traditions of the Democratic Party and American Jewry. They want the choice to be Nazis or them, so that we're all with them.

It's also wild to complain about people going on Hasan's show because he's a vitriolic bigot and then go on Bill Maher's show.

Ben Gvir has no say over Israeli politics he's just a member of parliament, a member of the cabinet, the minister in charge of the national police, and is able to pass discriminatory laws that impose the death penalty onto one group of people on the basis of race. He's basically just the fringe.

These are colossal numbers for US protest and they're only going to get bigger as the consequences of this idiotic regime get worse.

Really cool how the NYT insists that Zohran Mamdani saying Israel should “exist as a state with equal rights” means he’s gonna turn the Battery into Bełzec any day now while a bunch of bona fide Hitlerjugend get to Name The Jew and it just means they have some questions about the Israel lobby

Yeah this is what I would put money on as well. Not winning the presidency, not even dominating the party right away. But this is going to be a major tendency in the GOP very soon.

I keep saying this. Matty wants the Labour NPC or in more funnier terms, the democratic centralism of the CPUSA that his grandpa was a part of

I don't know what to do with this image in my mind

So, uhhh social democracy?

This is why after "punish the villains" we are doing "toddler new deal." National policies like treat people the way you want to be treated, clean up after yourself, share your toys

Surely no one would try this model of governance again

win condition for the modal american civil unrest is “cause this picture to be taken”, not fire bomb a walmart or whatever

This epistemological divide exemplifies how MAGA is an anti-democratic movement. The impulse to try to understand (even if critically) one's political opponents is democratic...we share the country, we should try to understand each other. The impulse to dehumanize is anti-democratic.
