In Africa, the authority of the Ottomans and African kingdoms petered out along an open frontier from the Sahara to the Red Sea coast, leaving the intervening space under the control of local rulers who might pay nominal allegiance to one power or another.

Newark NJ wants to ban all fossil-fueled power generation within city limits. Not clear that they have the authority to do that, but hard to blame them for trying. Towns at the Jersey Shore tried to ban power generation that wasn't even within their city limits. www.nj.com/essex/2025/1...

I disagree that there is a consensus between Sanders and Bannon on reining in the oligarchs. The key policy cleavage is between statists who believe the ultimate source of regulatory power is public authority, and platformists who believe that private authority is the only legitimate source of power

Well last I knew the OMB director has no authority or power to shutter any Federal agency, so someone is complicit.

🇺🇸 Tariffs are taxes. The Constitution gives that power to Congress—not a lone executive. Emergency powers can't erase representation. SCOTUS must choose: safeguard the Republic, or let unchecked authority rewrite our founding principles. #IEEPA #SeparationOfPowers

authority without responsibility is just power
December 17, 2025 at 6:54 AM
Patriotism isn’t nationalism.
It isn’t watching a country get looted by the already rich.
It isn’t violently deporting immigrant neighbors.
It isn’t starting wars based on obvious lies.

Showing up like this is duty when power demands complicity.

Authority without restraint isn’t order. It’s chaos.

All it takes is a spine. Congress & SCOTUS have the power & authority to stop all of this. But when the Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation, and other RW think tanks start throwing $$ at them, they “Reek” out and fall all over themselves performing metaphorical fellatio on the PedoPOTUS.

Juksie is mostly over her Weapon of Light trauma but she still feels very strongly about letting people exert power or authority over her as a result. But those three? She trusts them in ways she fundamentally can't trust most people

t’s a “power grab and a fishing expedition… meant to undermine state authority over elections,” Goldstein said. “It’s the states that have the power to run the voting process — not DOJ, not DHS, not the president.”

I hope you are talking with ICC officials now about recognizing their legal authority as soon Dems retake power. With Trump abusing the pardon power to literally get away with murder, an international court will be the only path to justice, and the only deterrent to future rogue presidents.
