Anyway, I will take these new opportunities to hawk my MA thesis: Liberation Theology as a Transnational Social Movement: the Case of the Sanctuary Movement.

(1999 -- Pre-dated the current sanctuary city moment - focussed on 1980s & 90s sanctuary mvmt in US and some Canada)

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

It is wild to wake up and find more news of how much the rest of the world is trying to get the US to dethrone Trump and we just... dont. We are embarrassing.

Talking about whatโ€™s happening with the low-information people in your life and not letting them laugh it off is an important thing.

Maybe you already tried this and maybe itโ€™s too late and maybe theyโ€™re hopeless anyway, thanks for sharing.

I covered Joe Biden toward the end when it was clear he was becoming fralier and age caught up to him. Trump is now basically at the same point.

Counter argument: Sitting in a 2-hour pickup line 2-miles from my house while the wankpanzer next to me idles for climate control is also a good time.

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

By this logic, Prohibition was unconstitutional as to all alcohol that already existed w/in a year of ratification, & only should have applied prospectively to new alcohol. Likewise w slaves & 13A.

Also, I don't see how a property interest, or any other interest, can survive the Supremacy Clause.

True. But, I doubt enough people realize this or will remember by the time the midterms come around. And, that's exactly what the GOP is banking on.

Right, simply entertaining this challenge as if it's remotely legitimate is already discrediting.

If there's a single vote to end birthright citizenship, we need to take this Supreme Court apart with sledgehammers and start over.

INBOX: I'm told that columnist Jim Shaw has been forced out of the Fargo Forum, North Dakota's biggest newspaper, after criticizing the Trump administration.

Two of his final columns are "Our local leaders oppose free and fair elections" and "Cramer, Hoeven and Fedorchak ignore the Constitution".

Once again, the main reason weโ€™re here now, with a president acting like a Mad King & fascists arguing that people born in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ are not really citizens, is that no one, including some of those very people, went to jail for the crimes of the Reagan & GWB administrations that set the table for today.

Has anyone ever gone to war specifically to achieve status quo ante bellum? I can't think of any.

We have casually crossed yet another line of normalizing the paramilitaries in yet another aspect of our daily lives.

Next will be at polling places on Election Day.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

@ernie.tedium.co is on fire of late. I haven't read this yet and I really hope it finally explains the dropbox alternative! But either way, I'm going to waste half the day on @tedium.co !

I talk a lot about replacing car trips with a bike, but getting started can be overwhelming. A friend of mine just built findtheright.bike.

Itโ€™s a 4-question quiz to help you figure out exactly what kind of utility or cargo bike fits your daily life. Try it out, share it with friends and family.

In principle, endorsing this should merit not just removal from the speakership but expulsion from the House.

Given the way things are right now, I'm going to point people at ALPHA AND OMEGA, my supernatural Middle East thriller. I'm not 100% happy with it, having had some changes forced on me my editorial fiat. But it's more relevant than I ever dreamt it would be.

I hope no one needs an MRI this year.

The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half.

No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).

My cousin has an aggressive brain tumor (glioblastoma) & as soon as he can put down a deposit, they can manufacture a vaccine for him in an experimental trial in Germany

This tumor has been incurable up to this point, but it might not be with this new vaccine

help if you can!

Any Democrat who votes for the first part after they've announced the plan for the second part needs to be tarred and feathered.
