Everybody in my earlier thread is calling the dog from the Tom Hanks movie "Hooch" and it's driving me nuts. For the last time, Hooch was the cop. The dog was named "Turner."

In destroying the Voting Rights Act and gutting the 14th and 15th amendments, the Roberts court is recycling legal arguments once advanced by Confederates and white supremacists to destroy Reconstruction. From me and @ariberman.bsky.social

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

Remember, McConnell is better now than when Jennings spoke to him for 20 minutes about international affairs and legislative priorities. 2 months ago or whenever, McConnell was even sicker than he is today, presumably.

We’ve learned this week that when republicans said they just want immigrants to assimilate and they’ll be fine here it was bullsh*t.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

In a weird way the strategy of the left is working. They elected Trump to punish Dems over Gaza with the dream that Trump would be so bad the freak out would create an opening for the left. And it is.

"I have no interest in Rome trying to dictate American policy" was also one of the driving forces behind 1920s Klan recruitment.

It’s beautiful to watch. He consulted no one and his stepped into a minefield immune to his bullshit. The BEST case scenario is U.S. influence in the mideast is ceded to China. The Iranian regime emerges more secure and America weaker. The trick will be watching him say that’s a good thing.

Ideas aside, 'rough men' isn't like Orwell. That's a posh euphemism, the work of someone trying to sound English. He was far simpler & clearer than that.

Orwell never said this. The first usage & attribution was by Richard Grenier (prankster & far-right madman) in the Washington Times, 1993. The closest approximation is from Notes on Nationalism - 'Those who ‘abjure’ violence can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf.'

The rule about mental health specialists to not diagnosis politicians dates from the 1960s. The amount of public information available to them in the 60s was very small so the rule made sense. It doesn’t make sense anymore. Trump is a mental child and insane.

As we learn more about who is in Epstein files, a notable exception it seems to me is rock stars. I think jagger was mentioned once, but still. No McCartney, or Plant, or Clapton or Rod Stewart or any of the legends. Did Epstein friends not like music? Or maybe their sex world didn’t overlap.

This is so fucking haunting.
From Mike Norton on Twitter: Empty car sitting at the intersection of 35th and Pillsbury with its flashers on.
There are these ghost cars all over Minneapolis right now from ICE snatching people out of their vehicle in the middle of the street.

According to an in memoriam page for ICE agents, the leading cause of death for ICE agents is Covid. And some are recent deaths not just pandemic covid. To me this suggests that in general ICE agents are unvaccinated. So maybe it’s good they wear masks.

Trump’s chaos generates so much news that is like a full employment program for journalism. Why would journalists and media companies ever want anyone else in the White House? The press is going love on insane republicans forever now.

I agree with Rachel Cohen that ICE killing citizens isn’t a bug. Like, from poor training or low hiring standards. It’s the point. MAGA wants you to know that they can kill you anytime they want with impunity.

If this happened to a conservative organizer, Republicans would make her a hero, a household name and a congressional candidate. Elected Democrats just pretend it isn't happening.

In Pluribus when the hive mind says they don’t kill does that include plants? They were very coy about what their bodies eat or if they even eat. Feels like they are teasing a reveal on the whole food thing.

Trump is an incredible engine of content for all media. Just a constant firehose of content. The press and internet will go thru horrible withdrawal when he’s gone. I wonder what that will look like. I fear it will be furious recrimination of his successor for being boring.

Government providing a social safety net is one way religion becomes decoupled from politics. That’s why republicans and the Christian right oppose satiety nets. They need each other for power. Their strategy for power cannot tolerate decoupling.
