I think this is reasonably likely and also is basically an unimpeachable caucus belli for packing the Court.

"Normative appeals to civility and harmony, when applied indiscriminately, can obscure the moral distinction between domination and resistance—condemning confrontational opposition even in contexts where democratic survival or basic human dignity is at stake."

also like generally speaking a wok shouldn't even be stainless steel, usually you want them to be a carbon steel so they can be real thin and heat faster, but those are aren't shiny and I'll bet anything they only have a stainless one because she likes the look

not a 5 star chef, but I think what's going on is he's fundamentally in the right on how you're supposed to cook a stir fry and her real objection isn't the cleaning but that she doesn't like the aesthetics of the wok not looking perfectly shiny and brand new, which is just dumb imo

Exactly. I’ve been saying this since I started the tracker last year, and it’s why I don’t call them deportations. gillianbrockell.com/tracking-all...

I am using the term "third-country removals" instead of "third-country deportations" here, because the latter is a legal process in which a migrant is resettled in a safe third country. What is actually happening, in nearly all cases, more closely resembles chain refoulement, rendition, or kidnapping - and may violate U.S. and

Democratic advisers are like when an NBA GM that's on the hot seat makes a bunch of very short-sighted win-now moves. They're not actually thinking about what's best for the team, they're just trying to spin as many plates as they can before ppl catch on that they're expendable.

A lot of Dems could take a lesson from this and openly acknowledge that their opponents are bigots. The resistance (mostly from establishment centrists) to stating plainly what's happening instead of using weasel words for the sake of civility is what makes voters think we're spineless.

PSA: No Kings is a coalition, not an org, and it does not do fundraising appeals for itself. Partner orgs raise money for costs we're incurring to put it on. But if you get a text from "NO KINGS" or a PAC you've never heard of before asking for $ that is a scam and you should block/shame away.

definitely not the first person to point this out, but I also think a massive factor in why it's had so much staying power is that it's the one viral meme that corporate ad accounts won’t touch with a 10 foot pole, which is usually what causes a meme to stop being cool and die out

It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

With footnotes and citations to make bigotry seem credible,

I traffic in ideas that have long since been discredited,
Like human races being real and IQ is inherited!

I’ll sign an open letter that legitimates my bigotry,
My gender ideology is thuggery and piggery,

If criticized it’s academic freedom I will hide behind,
My high and mighty principles shan’t be questioned by your tiny mind!
