In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.

We really need to talk a lot more about the consequences of consolidation of media, what it means to have so much of our cultural history in so few hands, AND that they are the hands of the obscenely wealthy. It's not good.

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court is like “you are now free to overthrow the government we just put ourselves in charge of.”

Long after the debate is forgotten, the 6-3 decisions overruling Chevron via Loper Bright and Jarksey will have fundamentally weakened the ability of the American government to function against the most powerful interests in society.

Wondering why Cybertrucks are allowed on the road? Because this is literally how auto safety regulations works in the US. Every vehicle is assumed compliant until proven otherwise by underpaid bureaucrats, at public expense

It is known that every “inspiring” story of a disadvantaged person raising money to address a social safety net failure is an appalling indictment of society but I think we should also include every glowing profile of teenage family-wealth-backed entrepreneurs who could model for the white boy emoji

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

I loathe air conditioner shaming. It’s bizarre Puritan nonsense that gets vulnerable people killed in heat waves. (Did you know a lot of people who die in heat waves HAVE AC, but never turned it on?). Shut it down wherever you encounter it.
