Taney was at least willing to publicly and repeatedly avow his principles, loathsome as they were
He's worse than Roger Taney now.
He's the worst Chief Justice in history, I'd say.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s.

I think a lot of people, maybe most of them, are brutally violent, unburdened by principle, relieved to be able to dispense with fictions of fellow feeling and straightforwardly avow a naked self interest.

Going through a contract which specifically requires creators to avow they will not use AI in the creation of the relevant work. Fascinating, and good.

The fights over social norms in the 2010s took on the pretense of being about procedure—“cancellation!” “due process!” “woke mobs!”—because the people who opposed Me Too and BLM didn’t want to avow their support of the underlying conduct. That was always a pretext, and now they’ve dropped it.

You are entitled to your feelings about your faith and queerness. But so are other people entitled to their feelings about their faith and queerness. You have no right to dictate what they must avow or renounce, and ascribing opinions to them that they have not expressed is dishonest at best.

I got snagged by a fake Elon screenshot yesterday and have to avow against reacting again to anything that isn’t hyperlinked to the source. Posting this for self-accountability reasons.
Look, it's funny, but if you're a bona fide big name journalist, maybe don't put unverified screenshots in your stories?
That Loomer tweet about “understand[ing] Luigi Mangione now” isn’t real, folks. Come on.

The only explanation for what we've witnessed over the past few months can be found here...which is a pretty terrifying framework with which to make sense of this moment. It also would not be an explanation that most Trump voters would avow as reflecting their intention. bsky.app/profile/seth...
I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days.
