the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

This is infuriating. She excuses the orders as "preliminary," but that's an argument for applying settled law or preserving the status quo. Allowing POTUS to disregard Congressional appropriations and fire independent agency heads are neither, they're a radical restructuring of Constitutional order.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Why do Republicans in Congress enjoy being laughed at? Is it a fetish thing?

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Anyone else making plans to be in Spain on August 12, 2026 for the total eclipse? I caught the 2017 in South Carolina and it was a tremendous experience. Tried to get to Niagara Falls for the 2024 eclipse and couldn't due to family stuff.

Trump on a very, very instinctual level doesn't give a damn about the difference between truth and lies. Words are just things you say to get what you want.

It's that nearly biological perverseness that attracts his most enthusiastic followers.

The NC bar is funded by the GOP-controlled state legislature. They are very afraid of looking "political".

It remains astounding that Trump both: 1) loves tariffs and uses them at every opportunity, and 2) has no idea what tariffs are or how they work

Perhaps it was a mistake trusting our vote-counting systems to a private company

How dare anyone claim that the right is fascist in (checks notes) 1930s Germany?

"Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a fuckin' air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain't got no humanity."

The historical term for this kind of regime is "vandal", which is probably unfair to the actual Vandals
