Silby: from an ethical perspective, the 7.6 billion living now and the < 2 billion living in 7000 AD have equal standing.
It's why the only civilization that has any hope of persisting makes "leave the world better than you found it" the first ethical commandment. And flays alive those that violate it.

Corporate personhood is a concept created by the judiciary, and will only be abolished by the judiciary.
Not strictly true -- when I was working for democracy reform we aimed at a constitutional amendment, which has picked up not insignificant approval at the state level in a number of places.
Common Cause and Represent.Us are both pursuing this state-based approach, following what they (imo shakily) insist is the model of the civil rights movement.

like, in ignorance, i don't really imagine pelosi seeing aoc's position here as a personal problem. maybe because i don't care if that's pelosi's take, or cuz aoc's position needs action, or cuz i am ok with both of them generally.
and yeah me neither, i was thinking the person raggy was having a "lobster meltdown," not raggy l having a normal meltdown.

the wave emoji people (<--- this is twitter for angry centrists who think AOC is an all-talk bernie-in-WOC's clothing) are yelling that it was leaked last week that the select committee would be reestablished, that this was already pelosi's plan, that AOC is embarassing herself by not knowing this
obviously the idiots haven't followed quite closely enough to notice that along with 're-establish the select committee' there's also a draft resolution for its new mandate framed as exploration for a green jobs for all plan, and that's the real heart of the ask

^^ Chris Lehmann has a talent for scornful prosing. I know there's a place for that in political discourse, but it's a place full of enthusiasts who only want to hear someone who tells them how very right they are. I mean, yeah, good for them for being right, but doing right beats being right and Chris fails to reach for that conclusion, which kinda falls flat for me.

can we talk about the whole "Clinton's gonna run again" blip in the media cycle, which seems to have already been discredited as nonsense from a former staffer? like, was the point of that just to rile people up and push those good old 2016 buttons? who pushes these stories? it it just the media's compulsive need for drama?

On Nov. 18, Bill and Hillary Clinton will launch a nationwide tour of 13 cities, kicking off in Las Vegas.
The show, dubbed “An Evening with President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton,” has been organized by Live Nation.
“From the American presidency to the halls of the Senate and State Department to one of the United States’ most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections, they provide a unique perspective on the past, and remarkable insight into where we go from here,” the show’s web site declares.
Bring some long green. Ticket prices will range from $750 to $72 per person, reports Fortune magazine.
If the Clintons pack them in, consider that a valuable gauge of Hillary’s viability.
Does Hillary still sell?

I hope they've got the requisite world class security planned. Maybe my barometer of the preponderance of racist yahoos has been skewed by the last few weeks but the two of them together on a scheduled public adulation tour feels like a MAGA madman magnet.
