You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

When Democrats have the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, we should split the 9th Circuit into 3 parts and expand the Supreme Court to 15. Former Supreme Court law clerk here. I said what I said.

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

i think the Republicans are going to live to regret mostly redistricting out the very elderly black centrists who were most skeptical of the procedural radicalism which would have diminished their structural power.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Corporations with huge CEO-worker pay gaps should pay more in taxes. The wider the gap, the higher that tax bill should be. At the municipal level, progressives are now making real progress toward that goal. @thenation.com @sarahanderson.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”

From Powerlessness to Power
We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Most of the logic behind the perennial "don't put too much stock in special election results" take is built on the outsized impact of motivated Democratic voters in urban/suburban areas. Swings like this in deep rural counties is GOP nightmare fuel.
