Ok fine I have one thing to say. The law does in fact specifically target drag. Lawmakers didn’t include a prohibition on “lewd exposure of prosthetic breasts” (a term they intentionally left undefined) because they hate breast cancer survivors.

What was the most important paper in energy and the environment this year? Especially economics, but also law, poli sci, etc. What was the key thing the paper told you, especially as it relates to big picture changes in society, politics, technology, and the economy? Self nominations welcome!

It’s really important to understand that the criminal legal system in the U.S. already produced the infrastructure to make ICE possible. If we ever rid ourselves of ICE the way to make it harder to revive it will be destroying and defunding the institutions it has borrowed so much from

"diminishes the gravity...denigrates the work...excuses criminal acts..." The judge who handled the Oath Keepers Jan. 6 prosecution expressed dismay at how it had all unraveled under Trump, even as he acknowledged he lacked authority to override DOJ's choice to wipe the slate clean buff.ly/WgAx5pq

When there are elites who fear someone like Mamdani for his "socialism" its far more likely they disdain that he actually enforces institutional rule. Elite impunity and the rule of law cannot co-exist.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

TL;DR: The Senate Commerce Committee will vote on internet bills, including KOSA and SCREEN Act, which critics say threaten online privacy and rights. While aimed at protecting children, these proposals could increase surveillance and data security concerns for all users.

Tomorrow’s U.S. Senate Vote: Four Internet Bills, One Wrong Direction

The Senate Commerce Committee will vote this week on several censorious and privacy invasive bills: KOSA, the SCREEN Act, Youth AI Privacy Act, and CHATBOT Act. While we appreciate that the Committee is taking the time to look at these bills separately, it’s still impossible to ignore the message...

I'm going to be brutally honest: watching people speedrun conspiratorial revisionism regarding COVID just five years after the pandemic killed one million Americans makes me understand how Holocaust denial took root in living memory of the death camps. It is the same basic sick instinct.

The great Covid bait and switch - Lawyers, Guns & Money

I find it fascinating how the entire Covid epidemic has undergone some sort of almost Orwellian historical revisionism, and not merely among the right wing, although they are of course by far the wors...

No party should select as a candidate for any office someone with the past extremist convictions (in both senses) of the man Kemi Badenoch is backing. It makes no difference whether it's for a council, any devolved assembly, or Parliament. It's all public power of some kind.

The election EO appeal is about whether the fedl gov’t can change the rules of voting shortly before the midterms & whether SCOTUS will apply its own precedent consistently. Understanding the arguments is essential to understanding the outcome, so I parse them here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
