I wish this distinction was being given more attention. I don’t agree with the ruling per se, but I’d like to better understand what Gorsuch was actually arguing, and all of these (potentially) typo dunks are clouding important rational discourse on the outcome.

With 14 followers, I have little hope of creating even a ripple in our national discourse. But I must speak out against an authoritarian Supreme Court.

We must pass a constitutional amendment to place explicit limits on Presidential immunity. Our democracy depends on it.

Release anything and everything about Trump that he can release within his executive power remit, starting with releasing Trump’s tax returns and forcing the IRS to complete an audit of his tax returns in the next 60 days.

Yes. Unfortunately I see/hear people constantly using disinterested when they mean uninterested, to the point where uninterested seems to have disappeared

Context? I’ve seen it too, but more when there’s an attempt to suggest action, for example “we costed it out, and it doesn’t make sense.”

"Among the causes of infant deaths, one increased the most: congenital abnormalities, which increased 22.9% in Texas in children between 2021 and 2022 ... That trend suggests that ...parents were forced to carry a pregnancy to term while knowing their children had little to no chance of survival..."

Came here to say this. If "corporations are people too", but since you can't try corporations for murder/manslaughter, or through corporations in jail, then CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE, and we should rethink, like, 100 years of law based on that idea.

Property tax bills can go down based on reassessment. The cause of this is 1970s Proposition 13 (brought to you by the conservative Howard Jarvis taxpayers assoc) followed by anti growth housing policies (largely eco/liberal) that prevented sufficient housing from being built.

Rationality is in the eye of the beholder. Should someone of modest means be taxed out of their own home simply because they have lived somewhere a long time, the value of their home has skyrocketed due to housing policies over which they have no control that haven’t allowed for appropriate growth?

It is stunning just how depraved our jurisprudence has become. Conservative jurists created "qualified immunity" for police officers, while offering no such protection to doctors. Police not prosecuted for crimes including murder; doctors not protected trying to save lives. eji.org/news/federal...

Assuming these figure are true, and you adjust for the population size of the US at the time compared to Russia now, Russia has lost more soldiers in Ukraine than the US lost during the entirety of WWII.
