Why do reporters always ask him this? The constitution is clear on this issue. The more they ask, the more they normalize the possibility.

This is all well and good, but if Democrats cannot work out their infighting and messaging, people won’t be enthusiastic to vote at all.

So when we call them Nazis, we are “inciting violence.” But what does it mean when they call themselves Nazis?

Why don’t reporters follow up with “you often respond to tough questions with ‘I’m not aware.’ Isn’t it your job to know what is going on in the government?”

My husband and I were just talking about this. With such a public display of violence, you’d think this would be all they talk about.

Hey, now would be a good time to sound ALL of the alarm bells about the collapse of our institutions. Lip service social media posts are not it. It’s no wonder the Democratic Party is so unpopular.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

This is embarrassing. I guess the septuagenarians watching on Fox equate this performance to America Ninja Warrior?

I keep saying this but it remains true: Dems have not learned the central lesson of Reconstruction, that multiracial democracy cannot survive when those working to overthrow the rule of law & fair elections are allowed to operate with impunity.

the problem for Ds right now is not winning elections. they are doing fine at winning elections.

the problem is what happens *between elections.* as in, if you don't fight fascism between elections, election outcomes start not to matter. 1

I should add, my strategy over the last couple of years is improve each part of my course by 1%. So instead of changing all of my lectures, assignments, readings, etc, I just improve each thing by 1%.

I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

"What is wrong with you!"

"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

Authoritarian regimes are notorious for making people think what they perceive to be reality is not actually real. Sometimes this is called creating "unreality" sometimes "gas-lighting." It doesn't matter which label is used, the goal is the same: make people doubt what they see with their own eyes.

THIS. It has hurt STEM students on the job front as much as it’s hurt humanities enrollments. We claim to be helping these students w focused ‘job ready’ degrees. It’s a lie. It has always been a lie.

Sara Nović @novicsara.bsky.social · Aug 10

(Not all, of course, but overall siloing stem students away from books and humanities, and more than that, convincing them those things are beneath them/obsolete, has done them a disservice. There just isn't really a way to learn critical thinking skills without, apart from lived experience.)
