One of the most staggering things about the death penalty in the United States is that the Supreme Court has ruled it’s perfectly constitutional to execute actually innocent people. Why? Because “finality” of the underlying conviction—even if wrong—is most important.
The really bad news? There are 100s of legislators as extreme as Gaetz. They are in gerrymandered majorities in states. The right’s front line. They are passing extreme law after extreme law. Directly attack democracy. And almost nobody is paying any attention to them.

They have always been coming for birth control. They’re just saying it out loud now. Read this and be very concerned. It’s a frightening time.

As someone who's been in politics a long time "attended donor summit" is not how this Thomas thing should be characterized. "Endorsed Koch political objectives, illegally acted as fundraising draw for one of the largest partisan political operations in US" is more accurate.

In case you didn’t see in replies, this money traces back (and disappears) inside a dark money organization called the Hopewell Fund, run by Arabella Advisors. They apparently create “fake” advocacy groups using big piles of cash from anonymous donors. influencewatch.org/non-profit/hop…

With COVID on the rise (& FL at the highest hospitalization rate in the US) Ron DeSantis has urged Floridians NOT to get a booster shot. It’s this sort of partisan political behavior & disregard for science Dr. @PeterHotez, who joins 10aET, calls “intractable and lethal.” #velshi
I’m sorry if you pay for Twitter for business reasons, but you associate yourself with the most brain dead, insensitive, douchebags to ever lack critical thinking. Everytime I go in a thread, the people being assholes or morons are blue check. A certain type of loser pays for X.
#SCOTUS *needs* Congress to act—at least to pass its $151 million appropriations request for FY2024. If Senators are truly committed to ethics reform, why not insist that most (or even some) of that request be conditioned on the justices’ adoption of an ethics code?

@haden_bh @DrEricDing @PeterHotez @MollyJongFast If I had to endure the kind of irrational vitriol Dr. Hotez had to swallow, I’d turn off comments too. He isn’t required to host that insane nonsense.
the road to atrocity can feel...normal. like, nobody puts up a sign saying, "you're on the road to atrocity!"
that's what's so scary about right now. yes, for a lot of people, a lot of the time, this doesn't feel like you're under threat or like freedom is curtailed.
I think often the argument is something like, "trump can't be bad enough to be a fascist!" "no, trump is bad enough to be a fascist!" and the trick is...like, in a lot of ways you don't need to be *that bad* to be a fascist. you can kill millions and still be human.
Shadi Hamid's whole thing is , "how can you say millions of your fellow citizens are Nazis?" and like...millions of Germans were Nazis? fascism is a mass movement.
but they weren't worse. lots of Nazis were educated, kind, thoughtful, decent people, who just convinced themselves that decency meant, like, murdering queer people or Jewish people.
people with republican friends, or people who want to be able to hate the left, or hate trans ppl, or hate Black ppl in good conscience convince themselves that the Nazis had to be a whole lot worse than their buddies on the right.
what's frightening about the Nazis is that they were just people *and they murdered millions anyway.*
Hitler spent literally years downplaying his antisemitism in order to build consensus for mass violence. there was a lot of dissent even from Nazis about how to institutionalize or pursue antisemitism. similar debates in gop; doesn't mean they're not fascist.
Trump's a fascist. people who insist he isn't a fascist tend to overstate how totalizing the Nazi regime was, or fail to take into account how it had to slowly build. everythingishorrible.net/p/yes-the-repu…

Every exposé uncovering a Justice’s seemingly unethical conduct kneecaps the Court’s credibility. Every day that Chief Justice Roberts goes without implementing an enforceable code of conduct undermines the Court’s reputation. If the Court won’t act, Congress will.
