Or maybe, just hear me out, Americans are paying more attention to the Supreme Court than they used to, and they understand the difference between this Court and earlier ones where justices respected precedent.
NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Replying to @ifindkarma.bsky.social
“[It’s not a] brilliant attack on Western democracy. The story, it appears, is that the Russian Mafia state is cultivating profit-yielding relationships with the aspiring Mafia boss of the U.S. and his band of crooks, subverting democratic institutions in the process.” @mashagessen.bsky.social 2019:
Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

A harebrained psychopath has control of the nuclear codes. It has to stop. Our country, our democracy, can't take another 33 months of what we've gone through over the last 15. We must stop it. Join the fight here: 👉 georgeconwayforcongress.com

The medical examiner in Buffalo has ruled that the death of a nearly blind man left alone by Border Patrol agents on a frigid night was a homicide, a finding that could lead to criminal charges.

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Efforts to arrest and remove a researcher and advocate against online dangers is a shocking violation of First Amendment rights.
BREAKING: when I heard that State was targeting for deportation a champion of fighting antisemitism & protecting kids in the digital sphere I had 1 thought: Let's sue! We @democracydefendersfund.org just joined w/ @robbiekaplan.bsky.social to do that. Proud to represent @imranahmed.bsky.social

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.
