FULL DISCLOSURE - counsel for Wizards of the Coast is my former employer, but I literally hadn't seen this case before today; I've been gone from there for about 18 months.

This feels like information we already knew but seeing these numbers is stunning.
New research shows that the US has been a global laggard curbing crash deaths.
If the US had merely matched improvements in 14 peer nations, 500,000+ lives would have been saved from 2000-24.

82 years ago today, 320 mostly Black WWII military men died instantly, and another 400 were badly injured after a series of explosions in Port Chicago, California.
As a result, several dozen Black men were punished and sentenced to hard prison labor despite none of it being their fault 🧵

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now.
He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway.
Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country.

As Deputy Attorney General, Blanche fired me for doing my job, then subjected me and my family to months of retaliation. My story is one of many reasons the Senate should not confirm Blanche again.

As the White House chooses to commemorate the nation's founding with this sort of rhetoric, reminder that this exact same rhetoric was used to justify blocking Ashkenazi Jews from coming to the US prior to the Holocaust, on the grounds that they were disproportionately likely to be Communists.

SCOTUS has turned the first amendment into a protection for businesses and dark money, changed the 2nd from a protection of militias to a protection for assault weapons in private hands, read the text of the 11th like crazy people, and inverted the 14th to hurt the people it was supposed to protect.
