When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

I wanna quibble a bit with the premise of question 4: 'why court expansion over alternatives' suggests an either/or, but I want a whole suite of reforms But also, court expansion is the most urgent and necessary reform bc it's the clearcut constitutional way to immediately stop the bleeding

if people do not like a 200, or 300, or whatever person Supreme Court, supported by 1,000 memeber lower courts, then, perhaps, the judicary could be taught to MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS and rid us of their unelected supremacy. So, no race to the bottom. Just democracy, *by any means necessary.*

This is all complicated by a political landscape that seems resistant to change, and to efforts to create change. But that all underscores the need for more of us to be students of change, to observe what creates movement, to look for opportunities to shift the balance of power, and push on those.

many centrists are as disdainful of science as MAGA these days. virtually every study on the topic, and there have been many, show that youth programs reduce crime. it's a settled question. this is no different from claiming vaccines are a hoax.

Some people, and I don't just mean Trump, have been moving through the world as though they would never face a potential consequence for any choice ever again, because they never planned on losing power. That means they think they can't afford to lose now. There are a lot of desperate moves ahead.

2/ Incidents like the McIver prosecution and the Omar search should remind us that the fear motivating the speech or debate privilege--from its mid-fourteenth century origins through its inclusion in the US Constitution--was the prevention of executive and judicial harassment of legislators.

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

dc statehood is non-negotiable after trump's actions in his second term. republicans despise the people of the city that hosts them, and there is little reason to think that, now that the seal is broken on treating them as an occupied population, a next republican president will be more restrained

I don't want to dunk-quote on this person, but actually, this is a perfect illustration of the problem. we can't become accustomed to or expect or concede constant monitoring from armed troops as we go about our business. it should always make us recoil. there's danger in it becoming unremarkable.
screenshot of a post that reads "Not to be all "you're getting sold" National Guard troops spend all day standing in out of the way corners of DC. Not great that they're standing in front of a ballot drop box, but c'mon, people, use some common sense. They're not stopping anyone from dropping something off." it is a quote-post of a post from the DC Council that says "this is clearly not acceptable" and features a photo of national guard members standing around a ballot box in Foggy Bottom

“Justice Alito tells AP he's "not pleased" with harsh rhetoric aimed at the court, saying it undermines public trust.”
And then there’s a picture of Sam, who appears to have forgotten how to stand, in a library. His expression looks like he’s smelled something unpleasant or perhaps encountered one of his lessers—a woman, a homosexual, a person with melanin, a (((globalist))), etc.
