Four in ten (just about) Mississippians are African Americans. Most southern African Americans vote Democrat. It’s very high. The SCOTUS we have now, with a straight face, says, you may discriminate against black people as much as you like as long as you say it’s for partisan reasons.

This from a serious historian gives us pause. What seems clear is not only Roberts lack of serious jurisprudence as head of an entire branch of government, but his serious myopia with regard to what the law becomes as he vandalizes it for his own personal vision of it. Where we are is damning.

The difference between Republicans and Democrats is the latter will twist their hands and fingers and wonder about propriety wheareas the former, after these long insults that pass for SCOTUS jurisprudence would impeach the opposition on face at 51 votes and pack the court to undo it.

The only remedy here is to take both houses of progress and the presidency, pack the courts of it. It cannot be upended by the sixth three majority of lunatic, white supremacists, and then remake the legislation of the voting rights act.

The key is this: llms, versions of ‘ai’ are not inherently evil. it’s the humans who control them, exploit them and their thirsts and lusts for power that endanger us. All. The evil is in the will to dominate. Good societies blunt those ambitions and yoke them to the betterment of society.

If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong. The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself. We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

The principal problem with (I can’t believe this needs to be stated) just caving and getting nothing is that it is then (honestly, correctly) seen as having always been your fault since you could have just done this at the outset. Worse, you appear to have no principle. Shameful.

One of the things I’ve heard and felt in my bones, beyond policy leanings, awfulness in presentation was the horror of what happened to the east wing of the white house. Yes, it’s a building and people are really hurting. ICE is a menace. But that visual was literal symbol of the wanton destruction.

It’s actually a great physical cleansing to just tear that whatever the fuck he puts up immediately and restore the east wing. Dig up his paving and restore Jackie Kennedy Rose Garden. Just cleanse him from the building. And put his portrait in a presidential pig sty.
