'This process includes the replacement of all first-rate talents, regardless of their political loyalties, with crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is the best guarantee of their loyalty.' (The Origins of Totalitarianism, renewed version, A Harvest Book New York, 1976, 339)

That’s the quote. I was looking for it. And here it is. Hannah Arendt on the Matt Gaetz as AG announcement

Gaetz resigned days before ethics investigation report expected The former congressman resigned soon after being nominated as President-elect Trump’s attorney general.

The House Ethics Committee was set to vote this week on releasing a report about Matt Gaetz (R-Florida), who resigned from Congress on Wednesday after being picked as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, according to four people familiar with the matter.

Who institutions memorialize has nothing to do with the people being memorialized and everything to do with the need of the institution to seem human. The institution is, however, inhuman. Only we can memorialize those people even as we abhor the cynicism of the institution.

RT @blfraga:

Column | Trump demands the lame-duck president not do what he did as a lame duck The president-elect wants to keep a number of seats in the judiciary unfilled, despite his push to stack the bench after he lost in 2020.

"1 in 14 judges confirmed during Trump’s presidency were confirmed after he lost his reelection bid. Perhaps the best known of those judges is U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon. "

Will Biden/Schumer/Durbin show any sense of urgency in pushing to confirm judges?

My Threads feed has been bombarded over the past few days with journalists announcing that Bluesky is their new home, and that if they continue to post on Threads, it will only be begrudgingly. “I’m going to keep crossposting articles here but BlueSky is so much better than threads in every way, there’s no comparison,” 404 co-founder Jason Koebler wrote. Journalists are only one constituency, of course. But they are not alone in their enthusiasm: over the past day there were nearly 10,000 posts about Bluesky on Threads, according to Threads. And based on the hilarious number of them that Threads’ For You page put in front of me, Bluesky has many happy users.

My latest, 𝘚𝘦𝘹 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘎𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘢, is now available on SSRN! The essay looks at the first abortion campaign in Georgia, uncovering new historical evidence, and examining how the politics of Redemption influenced Southern thinking on reproductive choice.

And a reminder that MS still requires a notarized absentee ballot request and a notarized ballot, and a valid excuse from a limited list of excuses to even be considered.

It would be worth looking at turnout rates in these 16 states.

VP Kamala Harris outperformed Bernie in Vermont.

A new prison in the works in AR. Voted through this morning. Franklin County this time.

In prison news, Arkansas governor announced a new 3,000 bed prison with news of a land purchase, which came as a complete surprise to the local elected officials and legislators for the area as they learned about from the media. To the surprise of no one, all the locals are pissed.

THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY with Angie Maxwell How did appeals to racism, sexism, and religion shape American party politics and conservative ideology?

🧵"The Long Southern Strategy: How Chasing White Voters in the South Changed American Politics" by @angiemaxwell.bsky.social & Todd Shields explains how race, gender & religion all played an identity-shaping role in reshaping US politics. But there was also a cognitive dimension as laid out here:
