- Impossible to even describe how cooked your brain must be if you think school closures in early 2021 caused a broad nationwide swing against your party in late 2024 and you could fix this by apologizing sometime in 2026

- Punishment for “500th” among Russian troops remains brutal. In the 15th MRB, deserters are buried up to their necks in a “tight pit.” In the 9th MRB, they’re locked in metal barrels without food or water for days, often leading to death. If they die, they’re declared missing in action.
- Smiling with a murderer. Good times.
- Brilliant statement from the Society for Women in Philosophy - a model response to recent events. "SWIP UK membership, in line with our recognitions and aims, has for many years been open to trans women and to other trans and/or non-binary people [...] this will not change under any circumstances"

- I'm not a lawyer, nor do I work for the New York Times, but I'm pretty sure corruption does not require an explicit quid pro quo.
- I endorse Diane Seltzer and I'm not even a lawyer.
- Odd that those criticizing @gtconway.bsky.social for endorsing Diane Seltzer because he isn't a member of the DC Bar, ignore the fact that I have as well and I am a member. Vote Diane Seltzer for DC Bar president.
- This is getting a fair amount of scorn, and I’d say it deserves it. The hidden premise is that “corruption” requires the specific proof that the Supreme Court has decided (controversially) is required for certain very specific federal criminal statutes. /1
- /2 But that’s silly on a number of levels. First, “corruption” is a broad political and rhetorical concept: if it’s not an accusation tied to a particular statute that statute’s elements are not relevant. Second, it’s arbitrary to pick a particular statute and use that statute’s limits.

- This is so important because the framing has shifted as RFK Jr tries to make the death of children from a preventable disease seem normal, when normal was very recently (before anti-vax creeps like rfk jr) ZERO children dying of measles. Because vaccination was normal.
- The perverse thing about the eugenicist "logic" at play here is that RFK thinks that "only sick children" could or should die from measles when zero children, sick or otherwise have done so in decades. All of the sickness and any deaths can be laid at his feet due to his decisions.
- Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

- Can anyone explain to me how "Trump donating the brand new Air Force One to his own presidential library right before leaving office, so he can continue to use it" is any different from THE PRESIDENT STEALING AIR FORCE ONE

- The claim by Yvette Cooper that there is a link between immigration and higher levels of inactivity (related to sickness and disability) has absolutely no basis in evidence or data. Just retrofitting the evidence to the policy...

- Trans rights and feminism are so often presented as being in conflict - when the main enemy of both is a rigidly gendered society that protects the social privilege of cis men at everyone else’s expense. Elon Musk’s failed quest to control the gender of his offspring is emblematic of that.
