(public-facing) Politicking is often the art of prettily obscuring tradeoffs, especially for overrep’d constituencies, but over time both the public & electeds seem to stop believing that they exist. We need to be more honest about being in “pick two of three” situations. bsky.app/profile/bren...

He refused to build or facilitate a state that would not itself be brutal, violent, and reactionary - until it was too late. Do not organize an imperial apparatus reliant on your individual genius (/extremely unhealthy interactions with Wilhelm I) if you want it to last.

This isn’t a cameras vs design choice point. The legislation at issue requires judges mandate ignition interlock devices be installed on any first-time DUI offender’s vehicle. So the people are already 1) caught 2) in violation. Chicanes and chokes are good, but don’t eliminate this problem.

on the electoral side of things, this is why you need a loud opposition party saying they reject this and will not stand for it. that this country should be safe for people from korea as new immigrants but also for longstanding korean americans.

It isn’t even “cause”! It’s “allow” - Republicans have the majority in both chambers and ought to be able to govern. Voters should get to see that. Then Democrats should exact a hefty price.

Pass 2 by congressional majority. Offer 1 as a compromise to diffuse adding 2 seats every six months. This is a recommendation for how to use a bare majoritarian approach to achieve lasting reform. One that has institutional and political advantages to lots of jurisdiction stripping.

*these could just fall under a reassertion of congressional supremacy or go into the statute whether at 2 or independently

I suggest 1) offer a reasonable constitutional Amend. on SCOTUS reform: income restrictions*, shadow docket*, terms & seat # allocated by presidency; then immediately 2) pass a law that +2 seats every six months, unless the Amend is ratified, w/ jurisdiction stripped. 3) watch 1 fly to ratification

For a host of reasons, it's outrageous that Republicans are on the warpath against renewables. It's outright sabotage of the American economy in favor of our enemies, global warming, and a handful of exceptionally dim investors with their money tied up in more-expensive-per-kW fossil fuel energy.

I don't know. I fear black and white might be selling these two short:

(Black & white) foreground, in focus, FDR is sitting in the back of an open car, gazing over his left shoulder while he fiddles with something (a cigarette?) wearing a light-colored hat with dark stripe (possibly his lucky felt fedora), dark overcoat, light suit, white shirt, and striped tie; spectators mostly wearing hats are under trees, blurry in the background.

(black & white) Harry Truman smiles over his right shoulder, wearing a jaunty light colored hat and light botton down short-sleeved shirt; two naval officers' shadows in the background.
