Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social is this 42% fascism? When we get over 50% we can round up to a full fascism, right?

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

The No Kings stuff on the 18th needs to be really big.

If it is too cringe for you, do therapy or deep breathing or something and then grow up

Yes, I know he was a professor. Professors still vet reading materials. One of the considerations is the age and maturity of the students.

My point was about the betting process, not the student level. You added that to the discussion.

First off, the OP is about high school, you are moving the goalposts.

Second, vetting does not mean blocking access. It means an educator is checking which materials to include in their reading list. Are you saying they should just include everything?

When you were a professor, did you not vet articles within a publication before assigning them to your students to read? Isn't that part of being an educator?

1. It tells us their capacity is *way* less than they want us to believe it is. They do not have the manpower if they're asking red state governors for this.
2. They're not winning as hard as they want us to believe because this is a pretty weak stunt.
3. Notice where they're trying this...

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans Trump administration officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is preparing a plan that will make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments, part of an overhaul that could result in hundreds of thousands of people losing benefits.

There has been basically no (public) reckoning with the democratic strategists who said that "raising the salience" of immigration/deportations in ~March would help Trump, which was obviously wrong at the time and has been proved wrong over the last 6 months www.gelliottmorris.com/p/kilmar-abr...

We Have at least 70? years of science fiction exploring this proposition and all reaching the same conclusions as Josie.

Which I only bring up because everyone involved in this AI thing is a science fiction fan, but not one who understands what they read.

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Better phrasing of Tom's BS slicing

"I think it is an indictment of intentions of those who seek to draw the boundaries of discourse so that they maintain peace with those waging war, instead of working to establish peace for the first time on behalf those against whom war is being waged." 1/2

This isn't subtle or metaphorical: Stephen Miller has repeatedly declared the federal government will use violence against officers of the legal system. Now he's calling a federal judge part of "an organized terrorist attack" and saying it's an "absolute necessity" to deploy troops against her.

Republicans attack healthcare because Obamacare is the most significant lasting legacy of Obamaโ€™s presidency.

The idea that millions of people have healthcare because of our first Black president is a legacy they will fight to destroy even if it means millions lose coverage and thousands die.

Stephen Miller
@StephenM
The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."

I thought I'd put the administration's proposed "compact" with universities in context, so I wrote the blog post below.

It's especially for journalists covering this story!

Many details about how the compact itself works and why the administration has retreated to this strategy.
