Suicide of a Superpower
“Thinking About” by Timothy Snyder

“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda.
Cops know darn well that if they arrest someone on frivolous charges that it will cost that person hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to deal with them. And that for all practical purposes that person will never be able to recover their legal costs. There's no SLAPP equivalent, unfortunately.
Vote YES!

📣 Thanks to this fantastic primer from @taniel.bsky.social, I've been able to fill in every 2026 state Supreme Court race except one!
Unfortunately, this also meant having to delete several races in several states where there's no Dem/progressive running:

How the California Governor’s Race Is Changing Post-Swalwell
Xavier Becerra, who once struggled to gain traction, has found growing support after Eric Swalwell left the race amid sexual harassment allegations
www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/u...
New CA governor poll: Becerra pulls away from the pack. Aside from Swalwell's exit, seems the undecided % has shrunk. Also has data on 2nd choice vote--helpful for seeing where Yee's ~2.5% support will go to now that she's dropped out. Weds' debate should be interesting.
