There is no doubt in my mind that Morgan Wallen can, in fact, make that kind of mess all by himself.

We really need a humanist movement, placing humans - all humans, not just our self-appointed tech overlords - at the top of the decision-making matrices. Before these antisocial dorks kill us all, he sort of joked!

Waitress: “do you want spicy?”
Dave [mindful of the week of committed drinking in the rear view, waffling]: “hmmm.”
Waitress: “it’s European spicy”

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.
They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported.
We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back.
That would be the end of democracy.

Trump just distills the 4+ decades of the conservative legal movement, with all its theory building and so-called scholarship, down to its core essence: a corrupt power grab.
“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it,” Trump says while shaking the hand of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts after the State of the Union.

I realize that this is unhelpful, but I truly believe that Joe Biden failed to protect the American people from *waves hand at all of it* and we have to openly talk about how and why he failed so we can get people to believe in a movement against Trump again.

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
