yes, Rawls was very much not around for the Founding.
But the First Founding (Constitution), Second Founding (Reconstruction Amendments), and Third Founding (Civil Rights Act et seq), were all built on Rawls' ideas, that equality of opportunity, law, and rights is the core American goal.

I've been thinking a lot about how the US has three founding and how, after Trump, we will — for good or ill — experience a Fourth Founding. I've been thinking about what ideas should be included in a Fourth Founding for the US.

Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.
Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Maine has one of the smallest per capita immigrant populations in the country. There are like 6,000 undocumented immigrants in the entire state. There's obviously zero legitimate basis for any kind of enforcement surge there—it's just a naked pretext to punish them for voting for Democrats.
If they were actually even remotely interested in going after undocumented immigrants, they'd be in Texas right now.
But that's not a blue state with a governor who's tangled with the president, so ...

There is no conceivable reason it should be this high on the list for a Trump invasion except for hysteria over some brown people existing within our borders.

To understand how remarkable these photos are, you have to look at them while standing naked in a walk-in freezer. That the streets of MSP are filled like this when the temperature is -10 F shows the iron resolve of that community.

In 2026, being on the political left doesn't guarantee someone is a good person. But being on the political right more or less guarantees someone is a shitty person.

They're taking money that's supposed be used for your healthcare. They're using it to fund detention centers run by corporations that contribute to Republicans to detain your neighbors. These are the same corporations who are donors to the same politicians who gave them the money.
