Steve Albini's last post.
From the beginning, the danger hasn't been Trump. He is constitutionally lazy, ignorant, unambitious and just generally not good at things. The danger is from people supposedly in opposition doing fuck all to stop the rest of his coterie, categorically more evil, ambitious and skilled than him.
I have an entire rant with several key points, but the gist is: Send Donald Trump to jail nothing bad will happen. There will be no riots, no demonstrations, nothing that can be done by the system or police or FBI or anyone to stop it. And once it happens, we’ll realize it was never scary.

Unexpected problem with the MTA's new open-gangway C trains:
People (especially kids) like riding in the gangway itself so much that they clog the ability to easily move between cars -- the supposed benefit!

Cowards, bootleggers, and sycophants.
Breaking news: The Senate voted down a sweeping national security and border reform package on Wednesday after most Senate Republicans banded together with a handful of Democrats to reject the legislation their leadership helped negotiate.
Senate GOP blocks border deal; future of Ukraine, Israel aid unclear
The bill included more than $60 billion in aid for Ukraine as it fends off a Russian invasion and $14 billion for Israel in its war in Gaza.

As Sherrilyn Ifill writes in her Supreme Court amicus brief:
"Section 3 was enacted for such a time as this, and for such a figure as President Trump.”
"Section 3 was enacted for such a time as this, and for such a figure as President Trump.”
Trump’s 2020 effort is exactly what the 14th Amendment’s framers had in mind, Ifill says
His effort to overturn the election “represents precisely the dangers that the 14th Amendment’s framers sought to protect our republic against,” Sherrilyn Ifill writes.
