Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

In May of 2024 Joe Biden signed a bill that provided funds to hire more air traffic controllers to remedy the shortage of such workers. In January of 2025 Trump fired the head of the FAA (because Musk had beef with him) and encouraged federal workers to resign. www.cnn.com/2024/05/16/p...

The important insight I got from the rabbi was, no one has to tell you to love and take care of your own kids, your sister, and your cousin, the reason every religious text talks about how you treat the stranger is, that’s what’s gonna be on the test.

"Trump appointed a road rules cast member to be in charge of airline safety and this is the result" that's all true and a one-sentence narrative that is completely damning to the ears of someone who isn't paying much attention to politics. Take the layup.

Thread. So many reasons not to reply on the courts. It’s surreal to see this party move forward on confirmation hearings or any other business as usual. The Dems’ lack of action — their feeble response to the very assault on democracy they RAN ON — is unforgivable.

Dems can: -oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn -deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings -vote no on all cloture -force quorum calls at every chance It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Maybe this is vague, so let me be clear: Trump returning to power is itself the end of the constitutional order, one heralded by his failure to be disqualified from the ballot as required by the US Constitution, for his attempt to overthrow it by force. Everything happening after deepens the break.

Even if you're just thinking about this in terms of crass political calculus, the way to counteract a politics of bigotry is not to offer a slightly kinder, gentler version of that bigotry. That'd be selling your soul and getting nothing in return.

I too believe the death penalty can be morally justifiable in the abstract, but imposing it in America is giving it to a committee made up of Stephen Miller, Elon Musk, and David Duke. Nailguns are morally justifiable in the abstract but you wouldn’t buy a bunch of them for a preschool classroom.

I can't speak for all American Jews, but for me at least, a presidential candidate saying there's Good Jews (ones who vote for him) and Bad Jews (ones who don't) and if he loses the election it was "rigged" and he'll blame Jews, is a lot more concerning than some college students denouncing Israel.

Last year the NYPD spent $150 Million to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They collectively owed just $104,000 in fares. Instead of funding cops to shoot people, why not use the money to make public transport free for people who can't afford it?

Someone asked me why they thought they’d “score points” on this. I did a dept honours thesis on Holocaust history; it’s not about points. It’s about social enforcement: viciously putting “undesirables” in place while proving to everyone else that no help is coming for them when it’s their turn.
