    the Heritage project leans into what legal scholars refer to as a unitary view of executive power that suggests the president has broad authority to act alone.

    Did the fascists not just come for student loan forgiveness on the bullshit claim that Biden didn’t have the executive power to do something like that?

    Fuck these traitorous pieces of shit. If this shit doesn’t stop we’re about to be living in the fucking Pinochet regime (which was the brainchild of American conservatives, because of course it fucking was) and academics and musicians and authors are going to start getting disappeared along with our LGBTQ family, friends and neighbors. What a fucking shit show. And apparently there’s not much we can do about it, except vote. As though that’s ever done a fucking thing with an absolute anachronism of an electoral system.

    I can’t help the nihilism sometimes, jfc.

      If it makes you feel any better, voting doesn’t help either.

      It’s fairly well understood at this point that US policymaking has nothing to do with the will of the people.
