Joshua HollandBefore the mid-2000s and the widespread adoption of social media, we only would have had one or two presidential polls, conducted by Gallup, at this point in the cycle. They’re just anxiety-bait, with little to no predictive value, and are safe to ignore. #uspol #2024election

🏳️🌈🖖🏽A great soul has passed. Rosalynn Carter, wife of President Jimmy Carter, passed away today at age 96. A humanitarian through to the end, she was a fierce advocate for mental health issues. She brought grace and kindness to the White House. She was a treasure. She will be missed.
Folks on Fox are panicking over a Black disabled Santa.
I can understand why. As anyone who grew up in the internment camps knows, Santa isn’t Black. That MF is Japanese.
I moved to Mastodon.socialAdding one more comment:
The court left wide open the possibility that the appellate court may find that Trump was an officer.

So anyway, yesterday, I had a rant after reading through my comments here and in other places.
Me = 🔥
After my rant, I started thinking about the causes of the anxiety I'm seeing.
More specifically, I started thinking about what James Madison called Parchment Barriers.
Me = 🤔
So I did what writers do. I started writing which is how writers turn 🔥 into something productive.

Parchment Barriers and Keeping Trump off the Ballot - Teri Kanefield
Keeping Trump off the Ballot This question came to me on Mastodon: Have you seen the Colorado decision on the 14th Amendment case to keep Trump off the ballot there? If so, can you explain why they would hold that the President is not an officer of the government? The 14th Amendment was drafted and … Parchment Barriers and Keeping Trump off the Ballot Read More »
lolgopJoe Biden to be impeached for the high crime of not giving Republicans any reason to impeach him.
If journalists exhibited their ageist ableism at any workplace they would be fired, but somehow they get amplified and congratulated by the other ageist ableists peers and follower. (Ironically the exact same people who formed a protective shield around Fetterman, who has real health issues.) Then I realize journbros stay on Twitter because their fan club of fellow haters are all there.

Jay KuoAs this may be indictment week #3, it makes sense to zoom out a bit and take stock of where things stand. As the legal walls close in, Trump’s star in his party rises ever higher. But where will this all lead? Our laws are not our politics, after all. I break down why that is and why that matters, in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/our-laws-are-not-our-politics?sd=pf
Our Laws Are Not Our Politics
There’s a decent chance that this is, once again, indictment week. This new set of federal charges, expected out of the grand jury in D.C. any day now, is the most legally perilous for the ex-president and consequential to the nation. And over the last 24 hours, Trump has been
