Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 19/08/2025Threatening to withhold funds Massachusetts sends to the federal government unless Massachusetts complies with the federal government raises a serious, legitimate question: Why does Massachusetts need a federal government? 000

Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 01/08/2025It is very difficult to think that we should give up public broadcasting, investments in science and innovation, and affordable college - things that New England can do on its own by clawing back federal funding. #NationalDivorce #NewEnglandIndependence 000
Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 01/08/2025The only alternative to a #NationalDivorce is to do stuff like this. Gerrymandering is bad, but it is a weapon we have to use to stop authoritarianism. 010

Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Yes, you are so right, Mr. Vice President. Proportional representation would be a much better system. 000
Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Like, the Trump administration has deported a bunch of U.S. citizens. This is a thing they did. They have faced essentially zero repercussions for this, so why would they slow that process down? 000
Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 01/08/2025A policy of "ignore the laws" has the same effect as a policy of "write new laws," if you also have significant control over the judiciary, you use budgetary powers to effectively rewrite laws, and literally no one stops you from illegally shutting down dozens of agencies. 100

Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Republicans took a sledgehammer to Medicare and Medicaid, which are very popular. They stripped funding from public media, a thing voters say they don't want to see happen. They demonstrably do not care about elections. Why should they? 000
Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Well, no. Republicans don't *have* to do anything, because they've adopted a political and legal theory that shifts all authority to the White House or to state governments. Nor are they all that concerned about elections, which they have demonstrated a willingness to tamper with or outright ignore 100
Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 01/08/2025They *have* total control over the law. They are actively working to implement these policies, or to hamstring enforcement of laws that would prevent these policies. 100
Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 01/08/2025If the worst case scenario is the status quo, I'm not sure how you argue that's worse than how it is now. 100
Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 31/07/2025The alternative to partition (the so-called #NationalDivorce) amounts to a new constitution, which is only possible with these kinds of heavy tactics. I'm not opposed to this. It would be uncomfortable to root for gerrymandering, but the alternatives are worse. 000
Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 31/07/2025I don't think it's necessary to split up and build a ton of walls between portions of the country. There are models - especially the European Union model - that still allow for free movement while changing the relationship between the states or multistate entities 100
Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 30/07/2025This kind of capitulation does not serve the public interest. 000

Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 30/07/2025A common refrain about secession is that it's "abandonment," but the truth is that New England has stronger economic and cultural ties to Canada than it does to many parts of the U.S., but no one says we abandoned Quebec in the revolution. #NewEnglandIndependence 011

Brother Jonathan @brotherjonathan.bsky.social · 30/07/2025In the absence of federal action or guidance, the states are making up their own rules. Why would we continue to adhere to a federal system that abandons us?npr.orgDozens of state laws take aim at food dyes amid a wave of support for MAHAFueled by MAHA, state lawmakers are moving to remove dyes and other additives from food.
