If a Democrat doesn't promise retribution, I don't think he or she is winning the primary. We need to make them fear reprisal.

Dave Weigel @daveweigel.bsky.social · 22h

So, imagine a 2028 that ends with a normal election and a Democratic president.

Does that president punish CBS? Does he kick it out of the Brady room's front row? Does his FCC go after its licenses? Does his FTC probe the Skydance deal?

No, probably not. No fear of reprisal if power shifts back.

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

As someone who sat through several Constitutional Law courses (and was also a HUGE Schoolhouse Rock fan), it is just brain-breaking to watch Articles I and III (at the SCOTUS level) happily let Article II run buck wild 24/7.

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

A Supreme Court that continues to rule in favor of an administration that releases public statements like this about adverse judicial rulings is a Supreme Court that is no longer interested in operating under the rule of law.

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you'd agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing "dna" with "bits" doesn't make it ok

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

Me. I'm the base. A white cisgender dude wrapped in 8 different kinds of privilege, who will empty his bank account for the first politician who campaigns for 2028 on the sole plank of "elect me and I will send these fuckers to the Hague".

At this point I almost don't care if the Democratic nominee in 2028 has any kitchen table policy platform at all. Just straight-up Reconstruction all day every day.

Snowden St. @snowden.st · 17d

I can just feel it building in me, but I’m gonna be an unrepentant psycho about prosecuting ICE for this administration. And I will have almost as much anger for any Democratic primary voter who tries to tell me to “let it go” or “we need to move forward” sometime in the 2030s.

It’s essential that you find common ground with Trump supporters. For instance, you know that you have many flaws, and they believe you are less than human. Work with that.
