For the umpteenth - but almost certainly not last time - the institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy.
I really don't see how rights are irrelevant because the economy is all that matters.
Even if you think the economy is by far the most important thing, rights are a crucial part of a well-functioning economy. The White House's attack on rights in the US is bad on it's own AND harming the economy.

Klobuchar on Stephen Miller saying the administration is considering suspending habeas corpus: "He's doing it because they don't want to focus on what's really in front of them, and that they have created havoc in our economy ... no, they're not gonna reverse habeas corpus in the Congress."

sometimes I truly feel like I am losing my mind that so many people are still so earnestly justifying or downplaying this all as fine
The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.
What the fuck are we doing here?

ESPN: "Liverpool have done a magnificent job of largely avoiding injuries this season...a phenomenal availability record."
"Injuries have been the story of Arsenal's season."
Nice to see somebody acknowledge the proper, decisive storyline of the season.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”
So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

What I think was *really* beneficial about Hands Off is that people need to see (in real life) that they’re not alone.
In-person events and marches can really fill up people’s fighting tanks, so to speak. And this regime has handed us a really really long, tedious, and difficult fight.

We're doing these racists a big favor when we pretend their project is in any way based on actual grievance with modern DEI policy. They just want to promote the belief that no non-white person has ever been worthy of any praise or qualified for any honor or position
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.
