Our customized version of Empirica was in fact designed for the NYC Mayor’s Office by Tobias Frere-Jones and @ninastoessinger.bsky.social, but it is a thrill to hear Mayor Mamdani give a personal shout out to Tobias and our team’s design work!

when Beastie Boys signed with Capitol, they were offered a big advance, which they turned down in favor of owning their masters - now, years later, they're still making money off those records - always bet on yourself, not a corporation

A reminder that if you are called to be part of a jury in a political prosecution you have a right to refuse to convict on the grounds the prosecution is unjust. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump’s Politicized Prosecutions May Hit a Roadblock

When the president puts his political enemies on trial on pretextual grounds, jurors have the option of refusing to convict.

As the parent of a teen, this story breaks my heart. SIJS is a form of humanitarian protection for children, which just magnifies the cruelty. Please consider supporting The Door which is an incredible youth organization (I did pro bono SIJS work for them some years back, they're the real deal).

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

This is an infuriating and shameful scandal. The Roberts Court is condoning Trump’s law breaking, again, pure and simple. There is no serious path forward for democratic government without Supreme Court reform.

This piece by Robert Post is excellent. I especially like that he traces the Trump Administration's authoritarian trampling on the First Amendment to, in part, the Roberts Court's extreme unitary executive theory. verfassungsblog.de/turn-against...

Democracy, more than anything is a practice. I always think that the Civil Rights Movement succeeded because from the Civil War black Americans built institutions: universities, fraternities and sororities, churches, that engaged them in democratic practice.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

This is two global elections in ONE WEEK where the conservative candidate trying to become prime minister not only led his party to a big loss but lost their own seat in parliament (!) in huge upsets. We are global pariahs unseen since the end of the Cold War and need stronger domestic opposition.

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.
