       @jeffcliff @seldo So the way to deal with Nazis is to put them in a prison camp and deprogram them out of their cult?Also, do you think they hugged them into that camp?The entire precondition for your "treat them with respect" scenario was that they were first likely subjected to force until they were either captured or surrendered.Did you really think through this?

       @freemo @heidilifeldman They said "starting this year". Anyone who worked for him in the past is fine, but people choosing to work for him are most certainly aware of the reporting about him.Personally I think that's generous. It's unlikely that his clerks were totally unaware of how he was operating.

       @freemo @heidilifeldman Since 2020 he has had 18 law clerks.6 from Yale, 5 from Chicago, 3 from Harvard, and 1 each from NYU, Virginia, George Mason, and Alabama.Each class of 37 law clerks (4 per justice 5 for chief justice) is on a path towards being able to wield power and influence that will impact every person living in the United States.

       @freemo @heidilifeldman None of these folks would have trouble getting a job with likely better pay. With very few exceptions, they have a previous clerkship with a federal judge.By helping Thomas justify his opinions, they literally further his potentially corrupt influence.

       @freemo @heidilifeldman That might be a compelling argument in the case of a justice who wasn't tainted by the appearance of corruption.Corruption isn't something you sway with a slick legal argument. Corruption dictates the outcome and finds justification after the fact.

       @freemo @MattFerrel @heidilifeldman No one called for anyone who ever worked for him in the past to be blacklisted. (I did note that it's hard to believe they weren't aware of his activities).Everyone who was working for him at the time or in the future has an ethical choice to make.

       I feel like I'm probably talking to a crowd that mostly knows this, but if you are planning on skipping the primary election in Georgia because "it's already decided", you should still go vote because the Non Partisan general election is happening at the same time.These races will not be part of the November General election. This is your only chance to vote on these this cycle.While many of these Judicial races are simply unopposed incumbents, there are two with challengers.1 State Supreme Court Seat, 1 State Court of Appeals seat.Democrat John Barrow is running against appointed Republican incumbent Andrew Pinson for a seat on the state supreme court.Athens politics nerd has a great write up on Pinson and Barrow. https://athenspoliticsnerd.com/voter-info/candidates/andrew-pinson-v-john-barrow-for-ga-supreme-court/#Andrew-PinsonDemocrat Tabitha Ponder is running against Republican Jeff Davis for an open seat on the state court of appeals.https://athenspoliticsnerd.com/voter-info/candidates/jeff-davis-v-tabitha-ponder-for-ga-appeals-court/#Tabitha-PonderThese Judaical races matter.#gapolitics #gapol #voting

       @waldoj well, actually housing homeless vets is hard and takes effort.Way easier to use them as a cudgel against other groups.

       @SeanCasten Cutting off Cuba from relatively cheap energy in an effort to destabilize it seems like a potential play.
