Someone needs to do a case study on @josie.zone promotion of BeckBook because they have managed to keep the book in my consciousness and make me eager to read it for months with new and novel posts and never cross over into feeling annoying or self-promotional.

What I can't get over is the Dems out there trying to transphobia their way out of these numbers. Just out there riding the crest of the wave, doing morally unsupportable pandering to bigotry at a time when it is also strategically foolish, just for love of the capitulation game.

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

It comes down to two important questions: 1) Who is an "us," and who is a "them?" And 2) Are there any irredeemable acts that an "us" could do, that would prevent us from saying nice things about them when they pass? Is there any limit?

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.
