I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

There's really interesting social science on how white people significantly overestimate the number of people of color in a room or in a picture. A room with, like, 20% POC will be perceived as majority POC.
White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
85% of CEOs are white men.
All but one US President has been a white man.
65% of all elected offices are held by white men.
Roughly 30% of the population is white men.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

Their very obvious claim is that it’s racist discrimination to *have a policy to address racial disparities* but it’s fine to have a system that simply creates massive racial disparities. The correction attempt is the outrage. Not the disparities. Because they are white supremacists.

It doesn't matter what the videos show. Drug trafficking isn't a capital offense punishable by death. When these boats were previously intercepted correctly & morally, they disabled the motors, boarded the boats, seized the drugs & tried to get Intel. Then they were tried & imprisoned.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

ICE should be abolished for the simple fact that being undocumented is a civil matter, not a criminal one. And if someone does break the law criminally, that's what we have regular police for. We don't need Patriot Act level gestapo on our streets, we never have.

A proposal: Dem pols drop words like "troubling", "concerning", "worrisome" and other flaccid synonyms from their vocabulary, and replace with more accurate words like "illegal", "unconstitutional", "unacceptable", "authoritarian", "despotic". Thank you.

Federal authorities should already be aware that Executive Orders DO NOT APPLY TO CITIZENS.
Seriously, if any law enforcement personnel says to you "are you not aware of Executive Order number...", you not only have the right but the obligation to laugh in their face.

"if we’re going to sign on to a full year budget, that budget has to have constraints on the corruption and the illegality. We cannot sign onto a full-year budget that basically puts a bipartisan imprimatur—a bipartisan endorsement of the illegality."
Anyone who recognizes the existential threat to US Constitutional democracy and wants Democrats to take a stand should listen to this conversation between @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social.
I found it heartening to hear a Democratic Senator with eyes open to the moment.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.
