One of the biggest impediments to dismantling Trumpism is the lawyers who've run the Democratic Party infrastructure for the last 40 years or so.
I just listened to a panel with David French and someone from the Brennan Center vociferously argue against expanding the Court. French said it would lead to “the dissolution of the republic.” About a third of the audience applauded. We need to get a policy culture that’s willing to do what it takes

major tech companies backed Trump because he was going to remove impediments to them doing whatever they wanted.....but those impediments also kept the public from hating them
There’s a thing where egregious despoilation and waste of water is absolutely not essential to the operation of a GPU-heavy data center BBBBBUT the people building them seem to have adopted an approach of… doing that anyhow? Just to be shitty? So fuck ‘em, glonzo it up.
I’ve pushed back on bullshit data center water claims but this isn’t one, data center construction could totally cause this just like any other construction. Glonzo-friendly but she’s not lying

It’s getting weird out here for people with speech impediments
what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

Texas is close to not being a functioning democracy
It’s the hardest place to vote because Republicans have put impediments in place based on totally bogus vote fraud concerns - that they just make up
The courts have become complicit in this effort
What we’re seeing in Texas now is a disgrace

If we speak of political realities as if they are immovable *they will remain immovable* and I think it's high time that we start speaking of possibilities more than impediments.
