She was doxxed by a Chi Phi alum who implored his followers to “help a Chi Phi.” Just in case anyone thought that organization was remotely redeemable.

52 out of 60 voters flagged as noncitizens in key Arizona county turn out to be citizens

Maricopa County’s GOP recorder said he had found 60 noncitizens who had cast a ballot. Upon closer investigation, though, the real number is only eight.

We live in a world where it is increasingly hard to trust other humans (are you a scammer, a bot, is this video real, has this photo been altered), and I think it kind of sucks that as a discipline we still don't have strong norms against sending fake emails/CVs/etc. to people. YMMV of course.

It's not new, but literally every shadow docket hearing, the Supreme Court is reinforcing its illegitimacy. It is not a court. It is not doing the work of a court. In the interest of the rule of law, we need to ultimately abide by its rulings, but there is no future without significant court reform

For some of these majors, governments are a primary employer. So this rather self-defeatingly deters people from entering those fields, meaning 5 years down the line, oops, there’s a shortage of qualified teachers & social workers prepared to work for public-sector wages.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

The real solution is collective, not individual: "Based on her study of more than 150 tribal societies, she identified what makes a society or culture “rape prone,” “rape free,” or something between the two.... in rape-free cultures, women have far more authority, status, safety, and freedom."

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.

Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.

But the plan for breaking the rule of law is mapped out. And the will to do it is established. With no small amount of dread, the disruption of court reform increasingly feels less worse than treading water till the third wave hits--bc the second wave has been so much worse than the first.
