"It used to be a Great Writ, now it's not even good. It's an awful, failing writ. And we're looking very strongly at doing something about it. We want to make it a GREAT WRIT AGAIN."

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

I'm a little late to party, but fully back on my Ezra stuff.
Please forgive me for invoking Baudrillard, I promise I'm not that pretentious IRL.

Pleasure as always to work with @dennycarter.bsky.social.

Ezra Klein Is Mourning The End Of The Civilacrum

Klein wants a simulation of politics without conflict. Ascendant fascism won't allow that.

For White Sox Fans (Even Ones That are the Pope) Easter is a Baseball Player

It's simply impossible for me to believe that our new pope could get through his church's most important holiday season without thinking of the former White Sox's slugger.

Why is it that though I would I never wear any of these in public (except maybe the Drazen one..maybe) I was still so tempted?

I understand almost nothing about baseball anymore. You say leadoff man and I still think—“Oh yeah the little fast guy.” Enter Justin Turner.

Political actors can hold an ideology without that ideology being perfectly manifested in the government they lead right? The same way that if Bernie Sanders had been elected President you could have fairly called him a socialist, without it following that we were living in a socialist state.

It’s the third inning and a guy who’s pitched for three teams across two leagues THIS SEASON is in. That’s good right?

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude
