Odd how, if you train an AI to not be “woke”, it becomes bigoted. 🤔🤔🤔

However big Sassoon's resignation is, I think Emil Bove's letter accepting it is a way bigger deal.
"You have lost sight of your oath... By suggesting that you retain discretion to interpret the constitution in a manner inconsistent with the policies of a democratically elected president"

At some point Democrats will need to notice that appealing to virtues of independence and moderation and bipartisanship and norms has won them nothing.
Even Biden's presidential win is probably chalked up to sentiments about covid

bad argument. if Dems had packed the courts then Trump would plausibly be in prison right now, conversely there is every sign the "independent" judiciary is not going to do anything to stop him washingtonmonthly.com/2025/02/12/i...

Without an independent judiciary, the Constitution would be no match for Donald Trump’s authoritarian impulses.

Invisible rulers was a great read, and I agree that probably the best way to combat the "bespoke realities" issue we have and get people back on the same page is a widespread education effort.
Anyways, the MAGA movement seems set on getting rid of the education department. We'll see what happens :/

in all seriousness, yes, this moment needs everyone to work with each other - even the people you find annoying - before it’s too late for any of it to matter
most liberal/left schisms simply do not matter in the face of the threat from the far right and I wish people would spend less time fighting

let’s heal the divide between the far left and liberals online @whstancil.bsky.social, the petty squabbles of the past are meaningless now from what’s happening in the US. let’s build the iron front against the takeover of the country and internet narratives by the far right

EVERY Democrat needs to be yelling "this is a tax. Trump implemented a tax on Americans. Americans are paying for this"
No matter what they're doing. Ask a Democrat about birthright citizenship? Answer, and then go "oh and by the way trump just implemented a tax" every single line, every single day

What do they think the court injunction is??
Do they think the judge was like "the federal funding freeze is fine, but you wrote it down on a memo... Big yikes guys..."

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

It's a really delicate balance to not just turn off the news and ignore everything and let conservatives do whatever they want, and to not just become depressed with the state of things.

The official Democrats account is the 4th most blocked account on bluesky in the past 24 hours. Their account is a little over 24 hours old.

People keep saying the martial law is over and the coup ended.
Remember everyone, the law is not self-executing. The assembly has declared the martial law declaration to be illegal and demand it be lifted, but it hasn't yet.
We'll see whether the president actually follows the law.

I sometimes think that, given the media environment we have and the institutional damage we are going to suffer over the next 4 years, that getting back to a place of progress and trust will be a slow grind over 20 years. That's very disheartening to me, but it's work that must be done
