And who is currently employing the ultimate tool of political violence (war!).

Absolutely wild that some journalists still try so hard to play by some long dead norms in hopes of receiving crumbs. This should be empty seats only, everything else is malpractice or worse.

Jamelle Bouie posits that "constitutional originalist" just means "we don't think the reconstruction amendments are a real part of the constitution" And the evidence just keeps piling up for that, doesn't it

The timing of the video & the entire conversation about the strikes within the GOP is a sight to behold.

Exactly. It became a story because of the reaction.

Immer noch etwas irritiert von diesem SZ Beitrag. Wir sehen in den USA aktuell offene Korruption/das Aushebeln vieler Kontrollen/autoritäres Abgleiten. Plus Unternehmen, die das lächelnd stützen. Aber hey, capitalism baby 🫠

Besonders frustrierend, wenn man sich die 2024 Wahlergebnisse genau anschaut und/oder in Kontext zu den Wahlen seit November 2024 setzt: Opposition/Mobilisierung ist da, geht aber total unter in den Medien.
