No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

It’s maybe not shocking that the institutions closest to fact—district judges, juries—have proven most robust against an onslaught of lies, but it’s to journalism’s eternal shame that it has behaved like the political institutions and not the honest ones.

unlike the rest of these folks (and unlike appellate judges and supreme court justices), the job of a district judge is essentially to see what's in front of them

It's very striking how clearly they seem to see what's right in front of their faces in way that so many others -- law firm partners, university presidents, members of congress, and on and on -- refuse to.

i want a "resistance ranking" for dems that grades them on how seriously they're taking this

something like support for:

1. prosecuting gop criminality
2. court reform
3. procedural agressiveness
4. end ICE
5. trans rights
6. calling this fascism

+ points for having taken personal risks

I want to point out that when all the votes were counted Al Gore beat George Bush, and Al Gore should have been President

But he was forced to concede before the votes were counted

US Elections weren't even safe 25 years ago

Why the hell would they be under Trump

The electronic voting system the USA uses has just been bought by Donald Trump's allies.

Might struggle to vote your way out.

I think it was Rosalind Hursthouse who once said to me that if someone thought her learning Ancient Greek to read Aristotle in the original would give her more insight into Virtue Ethics than reading the numerous commentaries on Aristotle, then they don't really understand the nature of scholarship
