July 4th is very rough on my dog (he is a royalist and considers George Washington a traitor)
just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out
this entire crusade against diversity in hiring and admissions is based on the supposition that all white men are necessarily more qualified than any nonwhite person or woman who might be considered for the job. like, this lawsuit more or less states that outright.

risky or not, I think any other democrat stands a better chance than Biden at the moment.
I happen to think the debate was disastrous, others may disagree. regardless, the conversation around it is what it is -- and that cant be altered or changed. people will remember this. Biden can either choose to put his ego before the country, or he can step aside.
im on the biden should drop out train - not only because of the genocide enabling - but this 5 days of discourse you cannot recover from. when members of your party, including elected officials & the media - entertain the idea of you dropping out - thats going to come up over and over again.

I am angry that I live in a country that has produced this nightmare.
as we await the Chevron decision and hope for the best, brace for the worst - a reminder about the implications it could have, should it be overturned.
sorry for inactivity but wanted to share my article from today in The New Republic. about the republican attacks on the administrative state and the dire impacts this could have on public health in the US. all sorts of regulations and processes are under threat. newrepublic.com/article/1807...
He and his allies are planning to “deconstruct” the administrative state by stripping its power and forcing out tens of thousands of workers. That will put all of our lives at risk.
