I do not think he's right about speech either. bsky.app/profile/dcin...
Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

I think it probably is illegal, for what it's worth. They were put up there with congressionally allocated funds. Congress is supposed to have the power of purse. The courts are just kind of being ignored on appropriations and congress won't do anything to assert their authority.

I mean, I would argue that protecting federal law enforcement on the ground during raids would be conducting law enforcement actions. Like I'd say that's already a little over the line.

Ah shit

This is exactly where I think things are headed, too. Matter of time.

The point I'm making is tanking the dems in the midterms is a bad strategy to win the midterms. "Reckoning" with Biden's actions when he will never hold office again isn't helpful. It's not going to get old people out of congress either. You're fighting an old dying man with no power.

We should reckon with the past so many times we tank our chances of avoiding authoritarianism! That'll help uhh something? Not sure what.

Fair point I suppose

Why write about authoritarians trying to take over the country when you can spend your time writing about how the previous president is an old man.

Agreed, we either need to do a gov. housing construction program to build 5 million new units or we need to find a way to fix nimbyish zoning stuff or both. When the % of income on necessities is too high it limits growth, too.

Based on recent polling 28% of dems think we shouldn't provide military aid to Ukraine. These people exist in relatively large numbers. Sticking your head in the sand doesn't help.

All these commenters screeching about how there aren't anti Ukraine leftists lmao.
