Dear friends,
As have become a habit, I mark each #autumnequinox by sharing a small poem by Xin Qiji. I also start my translation cycle of Chinese and Japanese poems and prose that mark the twenty-four lunisolar micro-seasons. Translation notes blogged here:

If you had told me 30 years ago that Michael Luttig and Bill Kristol would have a clearer understanding about what's going on than a lot of Democratic leaders, I'd have wondered whether you tried the brown acid.
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

Again, this is why who voted against certifying the totally valid results of the 2020 election needed to be immediately expelled from Congress. The only reason @pklinkne.bsky.social's nightmare scenario didn't happen then is that they didn't have the votes.
Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"
- Every single Republican who voted against certification needed to be expelled
- Trump needed to be barred from future office by the Senate
- A serious country would've done these things

The reason I have been unwaveringly NeverTrump from the beginning is it’s always been obvious to me that Trump is a bad person whose personal values are fundamentally at odds with the values of American liberal democracy. Not a flawed person, as we all are. But a bad person.
