Do yourself a favor. Read these 7 pages by @lilymasonphd.bsky.social right now. It is the most concise explanation of the current situation in U.S. politics I've seen and it captures why calls to reduce "polarization" can ultimately worsen the problem 🧵 www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/pol...

Polarization Is Not the Problem | Journal of Democracy
Americans have never been angrier with one another. But polarization is not the disease—it is the response to a revanchist movement seeking to roll back sixty years of social progress.

Appointing Cannon would put expanding to 13 in reach and probably onto the Dem 28 platform

i *do* think that retiring to give trump a chance to appoint another justice after the public have overwhelmingly rejected trump and his party in historic margins is the kind of thing that will make court reform not just necessary, but popular

In actual democracies, it doesn't matter "which party runs elections." You don't "need a plan to vote." There aren't never-ending pitched legal battles to maintain access to suffrage. The authoritarian nonsense isn't tolerated. We could be like other, more serious countries, & just have elections.

The NY Times is in “but her emails” mode regarding Abdul El-Sayed and Hasan Piker. Relentless and unfair. Where’s the big story about a Republican megadonor who is a white supremacist? Maybe NYT has heard of him. His name‘s Elon Musk.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

Musk is already underwater in polls and if Democrats lean in they can make him even more toxic. He's declared open war on you all and is pushing a toxic, destructive, racist agenda. Maybe it's time to push back? I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.

Pete Hegseth is destroying our military and the Department of Defense. He is the most incompetent and corrupt cabinet member in the administration, and his disastrous leadership makes us much less safe and worse off. I introduced Articles of Impeachment to remove him.

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

standard. SCOTUS allows Trump to continue to create literal facts on the ground while they 'consider' his his meritless challenge. nothing is more important than reforming the court and ending its corruption.

I need you all to follow along here, because this is another example of how Trump's medical decay has progressed. He's back on his catapult bullshit on aircraft carriers, and you need to understand how this started, and how his completely porous frontal lobe has shifted his stance on this issue.
