also i've talked to some ppl who didn't know this, so i will reiterate that we had MORE federal agents than the fall surge in chicago, which is a bit bigger as a metro region. they really were everywhere, they were extremely disruptive TO EVERYONE, it's bizarre to ignore that. schools were closed!

incredibly weird to read coverage of elections here that doesn't seem to view it was newsworthy or relevant that we're not even a year out from having over 3000 federal agents invade us to kidnap, brutalize, terrorize, and murder people. just seems like something you'd consider, idk

he'd rather pout in the corner and give bibi another 3-6 months of power than form a coalition with any of those dirty arabs
its interesting to me, how people were able to understand that Péter Magyar was a candidate of the center-right (or more the anti-corruption right) and that was a huge win over Orban but I keep hearing that Gadi Eisenkot, who is much more of the center, is "the same" "barely better" etc than Bibi

One of the basic tests of 2028 will be a candidate's ability to 1. communicate how they intend to satisfy voters without being completely out of touch with the realities of politics & 2. Ensure coverage of that communication doesn't distort the message into uselessness
well this place is reacting to this about how I expected there's not gonna be 60 senate dems and the GOP won't vote to convict trump no matter what, I dunno what to tell you folks

“Her brother said he didn't see marks on Marin's neck at the hospital. As he took pictures, an immigration officer standing guard tried to make him leave the room and delete the photos. Hospital staff defended his right to stay in the hospital room, he said.” Barbarism.
Here is @emilybregel.bsky.social’s story. CW: self-harm 38yo Andreea Marin is brain dead on life support, her brother says, after not getting the medication she needed for her mental illness in ICE custody. Yet her wrists and ankles are chained to the hospital bed. tucson.com/news/local/b...

The facts of Hasan's complaint against Scott Jennings are actually wild. Worst is probably that they hit Jennings with a C&D, his attorneys acknowledged it and promised a response, and then did nothing. I hope Jennings gets absolutely fucked. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

excited to read this. as always, i am struck by how the unitary executive rests, in terms of political theory, on treating the presidency in a distinctly extra-constitutional way: as an instantiation of the general will. it's as if roberts et al got drunk on an undergraduate reading of rousseau.
My work with @jedshug.bsky.social, "Quasi-Judicial: A History and Tradition", is out with @columlrev.bsky.social. The folks at Columbia absolutely blew me away! They were so kind and anybody would be lucky to work with their tremendous editors. A thread on the piece and its implications. . . .

Trump: "So I'm studying him. And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. I just wantasink. And then I looked at his feet & they were massive. I made the mistake of studying his anatomy. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is gonna qualify."

The Plot to Enslave America. Harsh treatment of student borrowers both makes those currently in the labor pool more willing to submit to exploitation and future workers less likely to go to college (where they could compete with the aristocrat children of the elite). Big win for the oligarch class
A first home. Kids. A family. Borrowers are putting these on hold to deal with astronomical student loan payment increases due to Trump killing the SAVE plan. They’ve done everything right and are now scraping to get by. What kind of American dream is that? www.businessinsider.com/student-loan...

The communications through diplomatic and military channels are among a growing number of indications that the U.S. is readying to launch a new round of heavy combat operations against Iran, risking a major escalation in hopes of degrading Tehran’s strength and pushing it toward negotiations.

"These supine Trump clapping seals have destroyed the foundational faith so many had in American democracy and those cracks in the system will take years, if not decades, to repair. I think they still can be, but Nov. 3 is a pivot point." From me: jonralston.substack.com/p/dont-get-c...
