We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president
Just another news day in the good ol U S of A
Also, the way that every event, no matter how shocking or horrible or unprecedented, gets fed into the far-right social media hallucination machine, and twisted beyond recognition until it supports the far-right's own nonsensical worldview, is the very core of why we are where we are as a society.

Hey so this shit sucks
I don't think it's a coincidence that cops started acting extra out of hand once we let them wear military gear. Make them wear clown outfits for several years to restore humility to the job
A lawyer for anti-war activist Mahmoud Khalil, currently being held by ICE, says she was barred from using a computer in a key hearing—an example, experts say, of the unfairness of immigration court. www.wired.com/story/comput...
How is it that this tariffs mess is the tell and not literally everything else
"the only things dems need to cave on are race, gender, policing, and immigration" what kind of victory would this be
Ahhh interesting! Makes sense, makes sense.
I applied to sit for the July bar today and am nervous about it all, but working through issues like these makes it seem *slightly* less intimidating. Thanks again!
I re-read the non disparagement clause, the landlord is clearly on one. Are you thinking the breadth of the clause could theoretically prevent the landlord from bringing an eviction action on the idea that it would be “disparaging” to Chris?
Thanks for all your answers, this is fun thinking about

(Sorry, I feel like I should know all this but property was not my best class)
Ahhh I see, so a tenant can’t sign away their right to a habitable unit! Makes sense!
I’m interested, which parts are unenforceable and why? (I’m in law school so could use the practice in issue spotting)
As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President.

Yes, and what boggles my mind is that they’re objectively terrible at all of this!
Seriously, this country has tried all the classic GOP strategies on these issues and they all end in failure
Well shit.
This man has no shame in lying on behalf a lawless administration and deserves no respect.
let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”
If you support this, you’re an awful human being
This was a conspiracy theory back in the 1970s and was debunked. What is going on
This shit must hit so hard if you’re stupid
I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc
Dunking on Eric Adams is a political layup at this point and Dem leadership is doing this shit instead
Kill me now
