An understaffed prison with an increasingly overtaxed and exhausted staff is not a safe prison
It is not safe for the officers or the incarcerated people
After years of incentives, pay raises, and benefit hikes...still massive understaffing
Decarcerate, Michigan!

I have to remind myself of this all the time...and especially when I am getting in arguments about things (not just this) on social media, I often say, "we have no impact on this decision, so why are we arguing about it?"

one of trump's strokes of genius (and yes I think he is an evil genius) is just not having any written policy positions any time anyone says "so you support X" he can just say "no I don't" he does it over and over again, and the media never calls him on it

My take is this, before this happened, Biden was behind Trump...he needs to energize the base, bring in undecideds and independents, and try to farm all these people who voted for Haley against Trump...How is that going to happen if he isn't capable of rallying?

If you think of an argument as ONLY being about “beating” an opponent, you might appear to win when they stop talking. But if you want to change their opinions, or move them, you have to understand what they are feeling and what they need to hear to be persuaded to change.

Easy to lose sight of the significance here, but the sitting president just gave a speech condemning the Supreme Court for a ruling that expands presidential power. It’s also a president who stands to benefit from this ruling, given that his opponent is vowing to imprison him and his family.

Today’s SCOTUS immunity ruling was a political ruling more than a legal ruling, as is seen by the lack of law in Chief Justice John Roberts’s 6-3 opinion for the conservatives.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

Correct. A prudent, law-abiding President who appoints qualified agency personnel to enact thoughtful regulations is going to see their agenda inevitably fail. A malicious, arbitrary President who runs around barking illegal commands at people will be rewarded.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1
