John Roberts' friend and defender is quoted in the piece, saying they shouldn't be shaming Roberts for the wreckage and ruin he's brought to this country because of "civility." The bullies always cry "civility" when the victims push back in the slightest.

i actually think a lot of the issues with Online are issues with the way social interaction has been gamified specifically, like, people are interacting in ways optimizing for Likes and Reshares not to connect with people and while obviously pre-SM culture wasn't perfect, gamification makes it worse

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

Fun with America.gov, for #FEMA watchers:
My question about the status of BRIC grants cancelled on a whim in April 2025 and still not restored, despite court orders nullifying the cancellation. The formal answer is "I cannot verify ..." the status of those grants, but it acknowledges the court orders, ongoing legal action, and FEMA/DHS foot-dragging.

The angry response is what comes out so clearly to me - normal people, if they're caught out mistaking the Hawks for the Hawkeyes are going to be embarrassed and apologetic, but Schmitt's response is volcanic 'how dare you' anger. Just manifest low character, frankly.

Dems need to win PA by around 9 points to flip its Senate (~D+11 nationally). In that situation, they likely also take the state legislatures of WI, MI, AZ and NV Gov. Dems would have the votes to push the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact over the line and eliminate the Electoral College.
