Would the term-limit proposal in Biden’s three-part Supreme Court reform plan immediately retire Roberts, Thomas, and Alito (assuming passage in 2025)? How would those vacancies be filled?
#KatiePorter describes working for #KamalaHarris in a piece by @ddayen https://prospect.org/politics/2024-07-29-member-congress-worked-kamala-harris-katie-porter/
there’s no shame in feeling ashamed.
i’d much rather get on a “social democrats for kamala” call than a “white dudes for kamala” call, even though i am both.

@admitsWrongIfProven@qoto.org ?
@djc no, it’s not. it’s funny, sometimes hilarious, but i can’t condone character assassination based on a lie. not that the internet cares what i condone.
i think it’s weird to call childless liberal professional women cat ladies, or imagine we live in a Victorian novel and they’re spinsters. It’s very weird to talk about Soros chartering 747s for disproportionately black women who choose not to carry a pregnancy to term, and suggesting Federal policy should intervene to prevent.
@djc no, i don’t think that’s quite fair.
they are weird. and not, like, keep-Austin-weird weird.
is Ohio the new Florida? Ohio Man riseth.
Text: Over the past four years, the fight against corporate power has been embedded into the architecture of Democratic policy. The people pumping out the headlines that benefit the American people are all part of that architecture. The president whom Kamala Harris spends half her stump speech praising ushered in that architecture and fully supports it. The vision of America that Harris sketches out in those speeches-lower costs, better opportunity, a middle class that isn't squeezed but can get ahead-is inseparable from that architecture. Is Harris really going to betray this vision because of one lousy donor?
My felafel joint would be called “Felafely”.
they were so into catgirl. who did they think she would grow into?
politics is polarized between people
for whom freedom is a good the state secures against people for whom freedom is a good the state threatens.
both valorize freedom, but with quite different implications.
@_dm (i don’t think Kamala’s actual campaign has joined in. which i hope they don’t. i think the general new joyful aggressiveness “these people are just weird” is great, when it is based on stuff they actually say and do. but it’s also kind of weird, and not in a very nice way, to totally make up a wildly improbable embarrassing claim about someone and intentionally amplify it to make it a prominent part of his public profile. who’s weird, and cruel, now, they might ask.)
the couch thing is really really funny, and there’s no way to control the jokes that randos on the internet make. but it also amounts to character assassination on the basis of an entirely fabricated allegation, which i fear will be pinned on “the left” as the essence of cancel culture and why we’re all terrible people.
i fear we are in a fuck-around phase.
“burn it down” sounds fun and righteous until you realize you and everyone you love live in it.

I don't want to be mean, and I agree with the general point that there are many things commendable about Joe Biden's mien.
But this anecdote from a person entrenched decades on the New York Times opinion page, who enjoys a personal meeting with the President and leverages it into an opportunity for his wife to pitch her thing, perhaps does not make the point that Friedman hopes it does. Perhaps it even makes some less savory points.
