Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.

A very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!" I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment! So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.

There would be more pushback if folks left of center were more serious about outreach. But folks aren't despite the fact that our system does give disproportionate power to rural areas. But instead of taking that as the rules of the game as it exists, and actually organizing, we complain about it.

The promise of New York City is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty: this place would welcome anyone seeking refuge or a better life.

This should be a lightbulb moment for Democrats: You are free to run on this platform because Republicans are going to accuse you of it whether you do or not!

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

Remarkably irresponsible thing to say and any senate worth the name would censure him for it. After all, he's impugning all of them. But they won't because the GOP senators don't dare cross Trump. Their cowardice is incredible.

I don't know how many different ways I can say "CENTCOM happily going to war with their eternal mortal nemesis and SOCOM SOCOMing does not mean DoD has any institutional interest in at all being involved in pointing guns at americans trying to vote"

"Stop criticizing us or will keep murdering people" is just a jaw-dropping thing for a government official to say.

okay. fine. you got me. the current job market is not literally the *worst* one ever

By using lethal means to stop narco vessels in SOUTHCOM, the U.S. has completely ruined its ability to hold the high ground when Iran does the same in Hormuz. We view these artificial theaters as separate when they’re not. There’s no plan, let alone a strategy.

This looks legit good

They’ve said this about nearly everyone they’ve shot in a moving car, and they’ve lied nearly every time.

With this character's election loss, the thread of prophecy was severed. Unable to restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, we must persist in the doomed world we have created

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

Still my position on immigration

Chatham Harrison dba TRUMP DELENDUS EST@chathamharrison.bsky.social · 2y ago

Every person who loves liberty, worldwide, is already an American in their heart. We just need the paperwork to reflect it

In conclusion.......Why do you guys think I'm on here all the time talking about how farmers & farm workers are different? And how knowing that, & how rural power functions, is kinda key to having the US function as a democracy? It's because we have a mighty need!

<all together now> Immigration is our superpower & anyone who actually cares about American power, hegemony, & prosperity in the rest of the 21st century should be on the ramparts screaming for more, not less, immigration. Let them come. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Again, my position on “birth tourism” is “holy shit isn’t this awesome?” Let’s assume there actually is a huge disproportionate number of foreigners coming to the USA just so their children will be birth U.S. citizens. Okay? Fabulous. Keep’em coming! Welcome to America.

I think this case is one where—paradoxically—the larger the reform, the more moderate it appears. A small change to just the Supreme Court is much more easily dismissed as a partisan power grab.

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

Oh, well done! I think a lot of us have been thinking about damnatio memoriae for a while now, and you did a lovely job of making a clear case for it, for public consumption. I also offer this related loveliness to consider: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLkP...

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*
