I wonder if Trump will have the same effect on the Conclave election as he did in Canada and Australia.

ALL OF THIS.
Trump and Musk “are trying to instantiate an anti-constitutional theory of executive power that would make the president supreme over all other branches of government.…And the longer Congress stands by, the more this is fixed in place.” @jamellebouie.net

The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

✅ 1. Cow partisan elites with independent populist appeal (2016)
✅ 2. Stack judiciary with allies (2019)
✅ 3. Cripple govt systems by displacing expert staff (Jan ‘25)
✅ 4. Install loyalists into positions of security (Feb ‘25)
EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

Youre saying this is unifying. Have you lost your goddamn mind?

Anyone else feeling eerie early-March 2020 vibes? You know, that period where very tuned in people could see what was coming and everyone else walked around like everything was normal?

Of course this unelected private citizen doesn't have the *authority* to shut down an independent federal agency, but if no stops him, then functionally he has the power to do it.

Laws are not self-enforcing. Checks-and-balances are conducted by real people who need to grow a spine and step up.
Musk claims the authority to personally destroy an independent federal agency.

I bet lots of places are doing this. I love it and would love to see everyone post shots :) bsky.app/profile/jenv...
Washington DC’s Metro is honoring Rosa Park’s today by reserving seats in her memory. Parks didn’t refuse to relinquish her seat out of exhaustion—she was a fierce advocate for justice who organized with her community to engage in civil disobedience. Her deliberate act was courageous and meaningful.

It’s not a constitutional crisis. A constitutional crisis is when political conflict cannot be resolved by existing rules. The US Constitution has procedures to deal with executive overreach—they’ve been nullified by partisanship. We don’t have constitutional crisis—the US is having regime change.

Jokes on them! I already posted one of my syllabi. No FOIA necessary. Yes, we’ll be reading “The Case for Reparations” (Coates), among many other items. #Nofear

Here's my plan for my fall seminar, "US Democracy in Crisis." Students will read ~100pp/week (6 books + articles). We'll explore what we should expect from democratic governance, why it can fail, how inequalities and media play roles in its decline. Syllabus linked.

Look at the linked page on a computer, not your phone. Once you see the visualizations of relationships as a network you can’t unsee it. It’s intuitive because politics IS relationships.
Max Andrews @thatsjustlikeyouropinionman.com has converted the Epstein email drop into a searchable, visualized, network that allows you to explore relationships among the actors and examine the nature of their connections. You'll find D. Trump in the "yolk." 👏Max

You know that slightly creeped out feeling you’ve had sometimes when reading about a place in the world that has levels of control and repression that’s foreign and slightly scary? That’s us now.

Dit is echt een absurde reactie van een minister JenV: gewone burgers worden door hier door onbekende milities aangehouden.

Het geweldsmonopolie ligt bij de staat.

En dat is met hele goede reden.
Zelden zulke fluwelen handschoentjes gezien.
