Wouldn't that provoke a large scale international military response?

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

I’m not blaming the Squad for anything that’s happening in Gaza, no. I’m blaming the Squad for clearly getting caught up in a foreign intelligence operation and using their massive platforms to further divide the Democratic Party before the most important election of our lives.

Dems are learning the wrong lesson from losing their dominance in the culture war, only pivoting to economic issues. Dems need to connect to *the voters they're losing* on vibes and identity while delivering impactful results. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/o...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

This is why we need ethics, morals, values, why establishment systems need adaptability and fresh messaging to meet people where they are. I think the inherent risk of failure in any government system is our motivator to keep advocating for our values, lest they perish.

Mark Gilman @markgilman.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

No human system is human-proof. It's scary that there is no perfect organization of society that keeps everyone in line. The solution is actually democratic, asking how are our systems meeting the needs of the people, and doing something when they don't.

This is we need more TV and Film about religious communities, faith, and scripture.

Mark Gilman @markgilman.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

It seems that a lot of the current TV/film about the Bible is geared for a more religiously conservative audience. I'm glad they are seeing stories they connect with come alive. But the aesthetic is not really mine, I wish there were a larger range of productions aimed at multiple audiences. 2/end

Mark Gilman @markgilman.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

I'm frustrated there's so little Religious TV and Film. We need more Noah's, Come Sundays & Rugrats Passover's. NBC made a stab at this with 2 shows and a movie in 2013/14 also Kings in 2009. Am I fan of The Chosen, eh. But I'm glad it's being made and spinning off other similar projects. 1/x

The intensity of the fascist takeover is going to take a toll. Remember to: 1. Rest 2. Take breaks from social media and reading the news 3. Invest time in community 4. Go outside 5. Drink water, eat healthy, sleep as well as you can 6. Ask for help and support when you need it

Are you underestimating the threat of menace re: the pardoning of the convicetd J6 offenders, and a loose pardoning strategy? IIRC, several Republican Senators privately said they voted against impeachment out of fear of reprisals from the electorate, not "I'll get voted out" but "I'll be attacked".

Wanna get radicalized? Ask AI web search policy questions. According to Perplexity, about a 1% increase in *effective* federal tax rate on the top .5% could pay for a 10% salary increase for every public school teacher in the US. Feel free to check the convo. www.perplexity.ai/search/how-m...

I think the big political lesson from the Trump Era really is. Everyone's choices matters. You have more power than you think. Progressivism isn't dead, it's gonna change. You can help make a stronger more loving world. Don't ever wait for permission to do something. Go do your thing.
