Chuck Darwin<p>On Wednesday, United States District Judge James <a href="https://c.im/tags/Boasberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boasberg</span></a> issued an opinion <br>finding that the Trump administration likely acted in <a href="https://c.im/tags/contempt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>contempt</span></a> of court when they refused to abide by one of his rulings relating to the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants last month.</p><p>In his order, Boasberg noted that there was probable cause to suggest that the <br>“<a href="https://c.im/tags/willful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>willful</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/disobedience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disobedience</span></a>” of his previous rulings amounted to contempt by members of the Trump White House, <br>which could be viewed as a <a href="https://c.im/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>criminal</span></a> action. </p><p>In March, Boasberg had ordered the temporary halting of deportations of Venezuelan immigrants the administration had planned to deport <br>— and indeed, had already begun sending <br>— to El Salvador.

1001 Other Albums<p><strong>ReABBAfused – The Shape of Visitors to Come (A Bloggable Comparison in 12 Points)</strong></p><p>Our next spotlight was supposed to be on the one album we have on <a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/the-list/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The List</a> from Swedish hardcore punk band Refused, as randomly chosen by survey1 on Mastodon. However, there was recently a (friendly) kerfuffle in the Fediverse as to whether ABBA or Refused2 was the best band to come out of Sweden. So as not to show a bias either way, this spotlight will therefore be shared among the two bands, as we also have one album on The List from ABBA. We shall compare 12 points about each album, namely Refused’s 1998 <em>The Shape of Punk to Come</em> <em>(A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts)</em> and ABBA’s 1981 <em>The Visitors</em> (presenting the details about the Refused album first solely because this was, after all, supposed to be a Refused spotlight), and then you can (re-)decide for yourself which one your prefer. Okej?</p><ol><li><strong><a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/the-list/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The List</a> number</strong>: The Refused album was added pretty darn quickly to this project, coming in at number 27 (submitted by mbr), whereas ABBA was a rather late addition, at number 896 (submitted by arratoon). Anyone conversant in numerology?</li><li><strong>Album title</strong>: The Refused title seems to tell you exactly what you can expect from the contents (…or does it? who uses the word “chimerical”? and is “bombination” even a word?!3), plus is a witty reference to Ornette Coleman’s <em>The Shape of Jazz to Come</em>, while the ABBA title could literally be about anything and gives no immediate clues. Both albums have title tracks.</li><li><strong>Release year</strong>: The Refused album came out in 1998, a year in which a LOT of shitty stuff happened, including Google being founded and (as we find out below) Refused breaking up. In comparison, ABBA’s album came out in 1981, which was on average “better” – and MTV first aired in ’81 – but Bob Marley died that year, so.</li><li><strong>Album art</strong>: The cover of the Refused album is a play on the cover of the 1994 7″ <em><a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/496023-Rye-And-The-Coalition-Teen-Age-Dance-Session" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Teen-Age Dance Session</a></em> by New Jersey post-hardcore band Rye and the Coalition (now just called Rye Coalition), which itself is a play on the cover of the 1954 album of the <a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/1564245-Dan-Terry-And-His-Orchestra-Teen-age-Dance-Session" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">same name</a> by US big band Dan Terry and His Orchestra. The ABBA cover is simply a photo of the band members, in separate corners of a darkly lit (and apparently unheated) studio, with a painting of an angel as the backdrop (perhaps referencing the angel in the track “Like An Angel Passing Through My Room”, or perhaps pointing to angels being “the visitors”). This was the first ABBA album cover to not have them standing close together as a happy group.</li><li><strong>Genre</strong>: The Refused album at its core is hardcore punk/post-hardcore, but it contains multitudes, including jazz, electronic, and ambient interludes, etc. The ABBA album of course is pop, but a darker, sadder, almost bleak pop than the band is generally associated with.</li><li><strong>Length</strong>: The Refused album has 12 tracks, clocking in at just over 55 minutes. The ABBA album has 9 tracks, over a total of nearly 38 minutes.</li><li><strong>Recording</strong>: Perhaps the opposite of what would be expected, the Refused album was primarily recorded using analog tape (24-track 2″ tape), while the ABBA album was primarily recorded using a (32-track) digital recorder (making it one of the first records to be digitally recorded).</li><li><strong>Topics</strong>: Pretty much the entirety of the Refused album – and the band as a whole – is political in nature. The ABBA album has a couple songs on Cold War-era topics (the title track and “Soldiers”), but otherwise the lyrics are primarily about love and relationships, in one way or another.</li><li><strong>Always Coca-Cola?</strong>: The very first track on the Refused album includes the (clearly anti-capitalist) lines: “I took the first bus out of Coca-Cola city / It made me feel all nauseous and shitty”. The second-last track on the ABBA album, on the other hand, was released in Japan as a <a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/430379-ABBA-Slipping-Through-My-Fingers" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Coca-Cola promo 7″</a>.</li><li><strong>Break it up break it up break it up (or…not?)</strong>: Refused broke up just weeks before the release of <em>The Shape of Punk</em>, during an unfinished promo tour for the album (the abrupt end of which was the moment the cops pulled the plug while they were playing the prophetic song “Refused Are Fuckin’ Dead”).4 As for ABBA, both marital couples that made up the band had just gotten divorced before making <em>The Visitors</em>, and they broke up as a band the following year. Both bands, however, reunited in the 2010s (2012 for Refused, 2015 for ABBA) and released another album or two.</li><li><strong>Got it covered</strong>: Just last month, a covers album called <em><a href="https://refused.bandcamp.com/album/the-shape-of-punk-to-come-obliterated" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Shape of Punk to Come Obliterated</a></em> was released, featuring the likes of Brutus, Cult of Luna, Fucked Up, and Touché Amoré, among others. <em>The Visitors</em>, afaik, has yet to be covered as a whole album. Both albums, however, have been cited as an influence on a number of artists.</li><li><strong>Closing argument</strong>s: On the side of Refused, Mastodon user mbr offers this lyric as a closing argument: “How can we expect anyone to listen if we’re using the same old voice? We need new noise!” On the side of ABBA, Mastodon user derthomas offers this lyric as a closing argument: “Thank you for the music.” (Both mbr and derthomas also provided glorious supporting gifs but, alas, Mastodon ate them.)</li></ol><p>Choose wisely…or, well, <em>refuse</em> to choose and, uh, <em>bombinate</em>(?) about both albums equally, or something. But remember, kids, you can’t spell “Black Sabbath” without “ABBA”.</p><ul><li><a href="https://refused.bandcamp.com/album/the-shape-of-punk-to-come" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp: Refused – <em>The Shape of Punk to Come (A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts)</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/77278-Refused-The-Shape-Of-Punk-To-Come-A-Chimerical-Bombination-In-12-Bursts" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Discogs: Refused – <em>The Shape of Punk to Come (A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts)</em></a> </li><li><a href="https://album.link/ca/i/1440849364" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Songlink: ABBA – <em>The Visitors</em></a> <em>(apologies for linking to a deluxe edition, standard version not available)</em></li><li><a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/50014-ABBA-The-Visitors" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Discogs: ABBA – <em>The Visitors</em></a></li></ul><p class="">1The survey choices that initially led to this spotlight were “What do I see across the way (hey)”, “See myself molded in clay (oh)”, “Stares at me, yeah I’m afraid (hey)”, and “Changing the shape of his face (aw yeah)”, following the earlier survey with “Sitting on an angry chair”, “Angry walls that steal the air”, and “Stomach hurts and I don’t care”. The last option was the winning selection, and so the survey result was translated as picking the album in The List that contained a word from the phrase, namely “shape”.<br>2In a Mastodon poll with 17 respondents, ABBA beat Refused with 53% of the vote, although there were also many other write-in candidates proposed.<br>3It is.<br>4Click <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120117175926/http://www.burningheart.com/refused/refmanifest5.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a> for the band’s official and spectacular break-up statement, which ends with this: “<em>This is the last that we have to say about it, WE WILL NOT GIVE INTERVIEWS TO STUPID REPORTERS who still haven’t got anything of what we are all about, we will never play together again and we will never try to glorify or celebrate what was. All that we have to say has been said here or in our music/manifestos/lyrics and if that is not enough you are not likely to get it anyway. WE THEREFORE DEMAND THAT EVERY NEWSPAPER BURN ALL THEIR PHOTOS OF REFUSED so that we will no longer be tortured with memories of a time gone by and the mythmaking that single-minded and incompetent journalism offers us. Instead we need to look forward.

Chuck Darwin<p>Pildes, the NYU professor, said that while he was concerned about efforts to block certification at the local level, <br>he was confident that state courts could resolve any disputes by the time the electors meet.</p><p>A new law, the 🔸Electoral Count Reform Act🔸, should provide a significant new layer of protection against election subversion. </p><p>The bipartisan bill passed Congress at the end of 2022.</p><p>The law makes it so that Trump and his allies cannot repeat what they did in 2020 and submit false slates of electors from key swing states. </p><p>Significantly, it says that the slate of electors submitted by a state’s executive is the legitimate slate and raises the threshold in both houses of Congress to object to the electoral result.</p><p>While the law controls what Congress must do once it receives certificates from electors, <br>it doesn’t have much to say about what must happen in the lead-up to the electoral college vote. </p><p>🔥That could leave a lot of wriggle room for Trump and allies to try to slow down certification and go to court to try to force states to miss their certification deadline.</p><p>After Donald Trump nearly succeeded in overturning the 2020 election, ❓is the US better prepared to stop a similar effort in 2024?❓</p><p>Lawyers and other activists say they are ready, having spent the last four years studying and understanding the vulnerabilities that Trump and allies targeted in 2020. </p><p>Any effort to block certification is likely to be swiftly challenged in courts, <br>where Trump has already been unsuccessful dozens of times.</p><p>The new Electoral Count Reform Act should offer additional safeguards should there be an effort such as there was in 2020 to get Congress to stop its certification of the vote</p><p>Yet it would be a mistake to dismiss the threat altogether. </p><p>The same pressure points that existed in 2020 exist in 2024, <br>and in some places election deniers have been elevated to positions of power.</p><p>“This has started earlier in the cycle and is louder and is more consistent,” said Morales-Doyle of the Brennan Center. </p><p>“That is all just at a different level than it was before 2020.”</p><p>(5/5)</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Aguilar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aguilar</span></a> <a
