Ballot drop boxes could return to Wisconsin following top court decision
After Trump’s narrow loss in 2020, conservatives who then controlled the Wisconsin Supreme Court banned drop boxes. The liberals who now control the court reversed that decision.

A federal appeals court last week reversed a lower court decision that had thrown out a lawsuit by a student who was duped by a fake university set up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, court documents show.

many people are saying that the NYT’s disastrous performance at writing editorials that seem lazy and out of touch reflect a newspaper not up to the challenges of its rigorous job

I'm not going to spread that Economist cover with the Presidential seal on a walker because I don't spread stomach-churning ableist trash, but what a shocking collapse of editorial standards. The editor who commissioned that image should be forced to resign in shame.

'Mothers in Gaza are so malnourished themselves that they cannot breastfeed, and so babies are dying, literally starving to death, because they cannot get the vital nutrition that newborns need.'
Yes, but does it meet the definition of genocide that I made up?

The Supreme Court just gave the greenlight for state, county and municipal criminalization of homelessness. The increased negative framing and punitive social norms toward poverty and homelessness are going to lead to more assaults and murders of unhoused people.

New post up, on how there was never an actual bipartisan push for decarceration. It's true that red and blue states alike saw prison populations decline. But within those red states, the work was done by the blue counties. The politics of punishment are local, not state, not federal.

I've always thought the Democrats were right during elections when they yelled at us about the importance of the Supreme Court. The problem is that it was always empty campaign rhetoric for them, they don't actually believe it themselves. This was just a year ago!

Today in 1998, Atomic Audit was published, becoming the first and only comprehensive, cumulative accounting of the full costs of US nuclear weapons and weapons-related programs. Back then, we conservatively estimated total spending at nearly $5.5 trillion (1996 dollars). It now exceeds $12 trillion.

Purely reactive, a faith things will work themselves out till the last minute. Ironically, we saw this when they finally rushed to put Biden over Sanders in the first place.
