People who become right wing because they get annoyed by leftists are weak willed, most leftists are annoyed by leftists every single day.

America cannot have a multiracial, multicultural democracy if the United States Supreme Court is allowed to continue to exist in its current form

Just inject this into my veins: Beutler presents a succinct and cogent overview of the consultant-industrial complex that's stifling Democratic politics. Their meddlesome, proven-loser horseshit is the single largest source of my anxiety and despair at the moment.

The other part of this is that the Democratic Party basically does not exist, and our party institutions in most states are either nepotistic grey-haired social clubs that don't win elections or grubby organized-crime syndicates.

The next 'No Kings' will be Oct. 17 and is a nationwide but community-specific mass mobilization to the voting booth. It was clear — to me, at least — this is what it was building to all along when everybody was writing "it doesn't matter if you march in the streets with a sign" think pieces. (1/2)

Their best defense against the growing challenge from the left would be simply to meet the moment and act more aggressively against Trump. If they just did that, half the energy behind DSA challenges would dissipate and they'd be safe. But no, they'd rather punch left in a panic.

I think part of the pundit crack-up has been that they missed the big call of their lifetimes about which was the bigger threat to America: wokeness or authoritarianism. And rather than admitting that, they are doubling down on wokeness, while ignoring an authoritarianism that does not threaten them

One thing that's really evident about the pied-a-tierre tax: it was a brilliant move to call it that — everyone who argues against it sounds like they're defending tax-free caviar. Contrast to San Diego's "empty homes tax" ballot measure which lost 55-45 in a 70-30 Dem city.

The left needs a candidate it can unite around in the 2028 primaries and AOC is the only real choice. Nobody else checks all of the boxes. Every other option is worse. If she doesn't run, it's a missed opportunity of historic proportions. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/aoc-must-r...

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case
Judge Breyer: Okay. Thank you very much. Juror 96, I think that you also have strong views. Could you set them aside?

Juror 96: I believe that in a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict. However, in a civil trial, I feel I can set those views aside.

Judge Breyer: That’s interesting.

Juror 96: I’m happy to expand.

Judge Breyer: Sure.

Juror 96: I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race were Mr. Musk to be sent to prison. However, I don’t believe a loss of several hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil trial would be even a drop in the bucket to his wealth, so it doesn’t really matter. Therefore, I would be able to consider the facts.
