Casting a single vote for the better major candidate has a large positive net expected value for society, and you can very often tell who's a better candidate (especially this year!). Voting is humble, unselfish, and rational—a little chore that you should do. www.liberalcurrents.com/elections-ar...

It's no coincidence that the Jefferson Memorial, a creation of the New Deal, chose to highlight this particularly apt quote from Jefferson.

It's time to revisit the idea of expanding the Supreme Court, which means it's time to dismiss the misunderstandings about FDR's "Court-packing controversy."

Here's the thing: the people pulling the fire alarm on Trump v. US are people like Radley, Legal Eagle and @kenwhite.bsky.social , etc. I've followed these guys for years and they are not prone to panic-mongering. They're usually the ones saying, "Take a deep breath". It really is that bad.

A reminder that if Trump wins & purges the civil service to replace it with loyalists as planned, all sorts of govt data will become totally untrustworthy. The House GOP is already trying to rig the census to screw Democrats in redistricting after Trump's first-term attempt failed

We are approaching the anniversary on June 12, 1963 of his murder by Byron de la Beckwith, who was found guilty of this crime only in 1994. The day before Evers' assassination, JFK gave his Civil Rights Address and George Wallace made his "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door." A momentous few days.

Some context re this article for non-Texans. Our SCOTX is all GOP. But all the major courts of appeals (divided regionally) are majority or all Dem (both elected). Creating a state-wide COA appointed by the GOP governor with a special docket is a way of avoiding those election Dem COAs

Here's exactly why this matters: the GOP knows that the country is quickly becoming more diverse. Democracy -- allowing more people to vote -- means that they are out of office. Being anti-democracy is a fancy way of saying you would like the return of John C. Calhoun.

Among the many evils of "crisis pregnancy centers": they are not medical providers and so do not follow HIPAA or medical privacy ethics. Instead, they gleefully give away (to right-wing orgs) and sell (to data brokers) all information you give them. They should be illegal.
