Bush destroyed Clinton's economy.
Obama fixed Bush's mess.
Trump destroyed Obama's economy.
Biden fixed Trump’s mess and now Trump has destroyed what Biden fixed.
The biggest lie that Republicans have gotten away with is that they are better for the economy.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson didn't invoke Weimar Germany as a rhetorical flourish. She cited a specific scholar by name in a footnote: Ernst Fraenkel, a Jewish labor lawyer who observed the Nazi legal system from the inside, smuggled his manuscript out of Berlin in 1938, and published "The Dual State" at the University of Chicago in 1941.
Fraenkel's framework is precise. The Nazis didn't immediately collapse Germany's legal system. They left courts functioning - particularly in contracts and economic matters - while placing Jews and political enemies in a separate lawless zone where no legal protection applied. Most Germans lived in the law-bound "normative state." The targeted lived in the "prerogative state." The facade of normalcy was the mechanism of control.
Jackson invoked Fraenkel to name what the court's Republican majority is doing in real time. In 21 consecutive shadow docket cases, the six conservative justices have let Trump opt out of the law - often with no explanation given at all. They blessed ICE racial profiling without citing a single legal justification. They allowed Trump to ignore $4 billion in congressionally appropriated foreign aid. They stripped lower courts of the ability to issue universal relief, meaning only those with resources to file individual lawsuits get protection from illegal presidential action.
Constitutional law professor Evan Bernick put it plainly: "The court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power."
Jackson's dissent is not hyperbole. A footnote citing a 1941 manuscript about Nazi legal architecture is a Supreme Court justice blowing the cover on what her colleagues are building.
@GJHJ@marshallu@ASUNSports Moon insolently refused to hire or even seriously consider Marshall alum and future Naismith Basketball HOF'er Mike D'Antoni for Herd basketball coach when Mike was seeking a return to the US in the 90's after several successful seasons coaching overseas in Italian pro leagues.
@wyattfricks2 You define the value of college attendance. First and foremost, college provides the ideal space for personal growth and development in so many areas above and beyond just occupational readiness. Congrats, Wyatt! You really showed out this year and we thank you!

Let me get this straight: it’s ok for Trump to exercise his First Amendment right to criticize America - but it’s not ok for Olympic athletes to exercise their 1st Amendment right to criticize America.
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is deeply concerned by a dangerous and accelerating pattern within the United States government in which rhetoric and symbolism associated with Nazi ideology and white supremacist extremism is increasingly given political legitimacy. Entire government agencies, especially the Department of Homeland Security, as well as senior officials and other influential actors now regularly tolerate and even echo language and imagery historically rooted in Nazism and genocidal movements, eroding democratic norms and cultivating an environment that actively drives extremist mobilization and politically driven violence.
The Lemkin Institute recognizes that the Trump Administration is unlikely to engage in any actions that would begin to limit and contain the growing power and violence of extremist groups because the Administration is, apparently, in the hands of people sympathetic to those groups. We remind President Trump, his advisors, and the foot soldiers of genocide in ICE and CBP that totalitarian supremacist projects never end well for the perpetrators.
We call upon U.S. government officials and U.S. political representatives who do not wish to be complicit in fascism and genocide to take immediate measures to identify, address and dismantle Nazi and white supremacist ideology within the U.S. government, with the long-term goal of transforming the nation towards a more just, positive, and sustainable social order.
We salute the Americans who are courageously showing up to protest the rapid radicalization of the U.S. state towards totalitarianism and genocide. All protest in the U.S. today is also genocide prevention work. Humanity will one day recognize the value and the heroism of people standing up and risking their lives every day.

@LukeRubin9 I have performed an in-depth review of all 14 Sun Belt rosters for 2025-2026, and I would be shocked if Troy won it again. Very well coached but talent seems thin. Look out for ODU and Texas St. as dark horses. The Herd should be right in the thick of the race again.
