It kinda raises the question of how many chickenshit democrats are chickenshit, vs how many chickenshit democrats just don't think the constitution should apply to latinos & muslims.
and by making it a dispute over due process and the Constitution, trump made it possible to build a cross-ideological coalition against abrego garcia's removal. it was the most favorable terrain possible and it genuinely blows my mind that ostensible professionals couldn't see it.

The reason a freakish organization like PSL is able to get credibility with people protesting war or genocide is because they're organized and their members actually show up and take risks. If a liberal or socialist org isn't willing to do that, why should the people taking risks listen to them?

This is a fundamentally dishonest response to someone expecting you to actually show up for the anti-war movement you want leadership of.

i love* walking through the parking lot of the factory building where i have an emails job and looking at the stalls jammed full of trucks with hood heights at MY SHOULDER (i’m six foot one btw. ladies,) driven by guys who i know also have emails jobs because they’re in MY PARKING LOT

Yup. "Gonna get a huge pickup to drive to my office job" guys are the fastest growing demographic. Car companies call them "never/nevers", owners who answer on surveys that they never tow and never take the trucks off-road bsky.app/profile/dias...

The agita over protests on here is so weird, man. I mean I get that part of it is "well, we need something to talk about" but some people need to be less obvious about flatly refusing to go outside for any reason

in retrospect it was just great how milquetoast centrists decided the best way to react to the AWESOME police corruption and brutality exposed by the George Floyd protests was to go "actually, defund the police is a bad slogan, the Unserious Left needs to shut up" bsky.app/profile/mcle...
They've known they have little to no control over these forces since 2020 and all chose to ignore it during the Democratic administration that might have given them some cover to do something about it!

This will not happen unless the mayor directs CPD to arrest ICE in violation. At this point, he will discover why it is a problem that the CPD does not answer to the mayor. If only some well-organized movement in 2020 had pointed this out.
HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”
“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

honestly, there's no point in reconvening congress basically ever again if the executive branch claims unilateral authority over appropriated funds. democrats have nothing to gain by helping to obscure the fact that the republicans are trying to build a monarchy - let him have his rump parliament

Never forget this. They are liars. Their resistance is fake. They want to be powerless so they can reap the rewards of pretending to resist while risking nothing and attempting nothing. They are the reason the country is where it is and we won't be safe until they're gone.

The thing about American reactionaries online is that they’re like “under a true Christian monarch, the West will flourish with the enlightened guidance of a philosopher king…” and it’s meant to justify supporting a senile gameshow host and a drug-addled manchild who cheats at Diablo.

We could have system of 'utilitarian heuristics' where you fall back on your heuristic if you can't perfectly predict the consequences of an action.
the arguments for a 0 discount rate really kill me. Just for purely instrumental reasons the discount rate has to be > 0: you can't effectively predict infinitely far into the future, and if actions taken now depend on doing so you can take no action. Which is itself Pareto-suboptimal!

They only got that way by executing monarchs.
Can I just point out that one advantage of an actual constitutional monarchy is that you almost never have to think about what the monarch thinks on a given topic?

It's odd how on-the-nose this is for the "psychological wages of whiteness" view of privilege from Du Bois. If your social standing is defined by excluding black people, then all kinds of things count as harming your social standing.
Was just talking to a friend about these crazy lawsuits against companies for DEI practices, and like, what’s the legal theory? There’s no way to show a single white person was harmed by attempting to…recruit more nonwhite people?
This is the legal theory. It violates the Inverse Civil Rights Act
