Here, @nytimes.com, let me fix that headline: SCOTUS Abdicates their Responsibility, Clears the Way for #POS47 to become Emperor
Call it what it is: post-democracy. Elections continue. Law remains. But the content is gone. The state now governs through speed, secrecy, and domination—legalized by a #SupremeCourt that no longer restrains but conceals. #Politics #Socialism #Marxism #Democracy #SCOTUS #Fascism #GeneralStrike
Another weirdly euphemistic, kid gloves-y headline from @nytimes.com
…Christ. They’re rewriting the fucking US Constitution FFS. Recent opinions have left me reeling. These are people’s lives at stake and they’re bowing to this weirdo? It’s disgusting. Decorum and precedent it the window. Of all the people who could be above the law, it ended up being this wizard 🤦🏻♂️
In other news, @nytimes.com editors seemed to take pains to keep Trump's "dictator" stump-speech fantasies off the front page, but he isn't exactly grateful. (Surprise!)
Trump: "These newspapers are really no different than a highly paid political operative. And it has to stop. It has to be illegal ... it just cannot be legal."
