The Court ruling today is terrible but expected. I will just gently remind everyone that the election hasn’t happened yet. We shouldn’t assume the worst outcome as a foregone conclusion. That only encourages more apathy than many are already feeling.

That was the other virtue of my parents’ house: no one talked about who they voted for. I could probably make good guesses, but they didn’t say.

In my parents’ house, it was just a thing you did. The idea of not voting never came up.

"U.S. police departments have gotten smaller—and the violent crime rate is still plummeting. So what is going on?" What's ALWAYS gone on. Cops do not stop crime. They never have. Real "tough on crime" measures are well-funded schools, free daycare, and mental health services. Always have been.

The question had occurred to me. I’m not surprised at your answer, but would have expected maybe the power factor made them a bit more likely to actually manifest the behavior.

Maybe the biggest problem was just that he actually did the crimes.
