Overgrown punk. Attorney, cats, writing, American/Dutch, trying to learn how to make a difference.
I want to write a piece about how sovereign immunity is a made-up doctrine by idiots who don’t understand history.

I sat in the courtroom for this hearing on Thursday and listened to the federal government bend over backwards to try and justify their roving patrols as not at all racist and unconstitutional
They failed spectacularly. Miller’s rhetoric is predictable &dangerous, but also the gov is full of idiots

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name.

And it ends at the White House not the Capitol. Symbolically it the route is troops called from the Barracks/General Staff to render obeisance to the King, while demonstrating how the King can call in troops to awe the cities. 9/

The parade today by contrast moves west to east, outside to in. It starts at the Pentagon not Arlington National Cemetary. It follows the symbolic route of troops entering to quell or occupy the city, not leaving with love and thanks. 8/

I still don’t think Biden should have run in 2024. I wish he had gotten out earlier. I wish Kamala had moved farther left. I wish someone else had replaced Biden (personally love Kamala, but she isn’t popular like some pols). None of that makes me wish Biden had stayed in the race.

People shouldn't act like affluent college educated suburban Republicans are somehow more moderate than Republican voters as a whole, it might been true back in 2012, but not now
Yep it's not an education thing. Highly educated Republicans are *more* likely to be climate deniers than less educated Republicans.
It's conservative ideology and far right media.

These come straight from the intellectual emptiness on the right. They have an extremely limited view of slavery that has zero historical context and think of it in Us v Them, zero sum terms. The idea that Africans enslaved Africans is novel to them because it feels like exoneration
Presenting "africans were active in the slave trade" as some kind of harsh truth is such fucking garbage. No one on the left denies that this in true, we deny that it's relevant!
amazingly fucked up that the NYT is uncritically publishing the claim, “Race has some biological reality.”
that is, definitionally, racism. textbook.
