BFT's Denny Carter on the importance of Supreme Court reform: badfaithtimes.com/alito-theres-no-w…
I wrote about it during the Biden presidency and I'll write about it during whatever remains of the Trump years: Breaking the Supreme Court's anti-democracy majority is the only path to recovery, to a future in which we are not at the whims of bad-faith operators using their godforsaken shadow docket to shape national policy and beat back those of us who support democratic self rule. Without SCOTUS reform, there is no future.

Denny Carter on the key to not feeling alone in a time of authoritarian terror: badfaithtimes.com/honk-if-you-feel-…
My sense of hopelessness and loneliness was broken too. Every honk was affirmation, every smile, every thumbs up, every fist pump was a reminder that no one wants this repulsive regime born from the shit-filled gutters of fascist online culture. No one wants this outgrowth of a cultural cancer that spread via social media algorithms practically designed to tear apart representative democracy worldwide. No one wants these freaks doing authoritarian cosplay for the cameras. No one wants to face what appears to be the all-powerful sovereign, the Leviathan, by themselves. No one wants this goon squad. Beep beep.
