- In the same way the last 10 years showed us the death of mono-culture in media, we are entering a decade marked by the death of the mono-culture that has maintained control of our economic and political systems. Hopefully, the new divided culture averages out to something manageable.

- Reposted by R.L. BurnSteinIf a Democratic president were openly & repeatedly saying that neither the 14th nor the 22nd amendment constrained him, the country would grind to a halt, the NYT & WaPo would have 96-point font front page headline articles, & the Senate impeachment trial would already be underway.

- Reposted by R.L. BurnSteinThe state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

- Reposted by R.L. BurnSteinSCOTUS isn't arguing the actual merits of birthright citizenship, they're arguing about the ability of courts to stop blatantly unconstitutional government actions. SCOTUS seems inclined to say everyone has to sue individually or as a class to remedy harms even when the actions are unconstitutional.
