In the famous words of Gillian Jacobs on Community, a lot of voters are like “I can excuse the racism!” But there are no follow up questions. They don’t vote morally and are genuinely surprised when amoral people may be using the government to pillage the country.

• Expand number of Justices on the Court to 2 x the number of Circuit Courts + 1: 2x15+1 = 31

• Randomly assign Justices to each case, with cases only taken up if a Circuit Court already ruled

• Term Limits

Aggressive SCOTUS reform should be a baseline Democratic Party position starting now.
New: The Supreme Court on Friday lifted restrictions on a controversial federal voter database before November’s elections, granting President Donald Trump a temporary win in his aggressive campaign against noncitizen voting.

They're trying to sell us products built on people's writings and they question whether it matters if people lose their ability to read or write?

And my husband wonders why I get SO INCREDIBLY ANGRY when I read about some rich man who is completely clueless about his obscene level of privilege AND lacks the basic skills that are necessary for adulting because he intentionally offloaded that work onto women and computers. JFC.

I also resent the disparaging attitude towards learning. Knowing how to solve a square root or long division isn't really the point. The point is the process of learning. If he holds these views towards math, I can't imagine what he thinks of the humanities. Learning to think critically?

Not knowing your phone number or address isn’t the flex he thinks it is. Reading that makes me think “adult baby”. He isn’t sitting at the kitchen table filling out insurance forms or picking up a prescription at CVS. He lives a life that alienates him from 99.9999% of the planet.

Yes, Jensen, it's a great time to intellectually hobble ourselves just in time to need to figure out an Avengers: Endgame-esque Climate Moon Shot before we all slowly bake alive, you definitely deserve to influence the public policy of the largest economy on the planet, here's your juicebox
Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?”

Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

also you wear the ring on the little finger of your dominant hand so that whenever you sign your name to something — anything — it rubs against the paper to remind you that this is serious business and even if you don't care that your reputation is at stake, lives are at stake

I love when threads of history intertwine

Reading the Diary of Mary, Queen of Scots from her time in France starting in 1553

She notes the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish community from Spain during the Inquisition, which you cited in The Origins of Terror in Palestine series

We need stories of compassion like these.

AND

Regular people's coming together to relieve suffering abdicates our government's responsibility to provide for the general welfare of US citizens and residents.

This couple should never have needed to resort to this.

i don’t know how to make it any plainer that the vast majority of dem voters believe holding people accountable IS part of “getting back to work”
I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.
