This is incomplete reprint designed to provoke. The bill had voter ID attached to it in order to get it killed, making it so Republicans could run this exact headline.

Ralph Nader is still a pariah. He deserves to be.

Tilting the ‘00 race to Bush was his original sin. We’re still suffering the consequences.

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

At my college a freshman recruit literally died from falling down the stairs after being coerced into drinking too much. Some of his frat “brothers” put off calling the ambulance and by the time someone did it was too late. I often think about him and his poor family

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

This will kick off an era of aggressive competition for immigrant labor between countries facing labor shortages just to build out the supply chains to restore energy markets, to say nothing of expanding the tax base and labor pool to meet the needs of countless retirees.

Getting people back to work isn't the hard part, its finding enough people with the right skill-sets to execute the recovery. At a time when we'll need trades-skilled workers that labor pool will be drained to record lows by decades of lackluster recruitment and Trump's anti-immigrant policies.

Energy prices will be made somewhat more bearable by demand destruction from the Ukraine and Iran Wars, as well as the more typical demand reduction during recessions. But to initiate a recovery, economies will need to restore energy supplies via new energy projects. The problem will be labor.

This won't be like just hitting a button and creating an expansive social democracy. In fact the government will probably have a glut of nationalized resources that won't be of much help, and those that a best require a frustrating period of institutional reorganization.

Taxes will have to be raised, but by the nature of this recession there won't be as much revenue coming in. Thus the government of the US, and pretty much every advanced economy, will have to nationalize large segments of the economy just to have the physical infrastructure to execute a recovery.

What we're headed for is the worst crash in living memory. It will probably start with AI, spread across the Tech Sector, and eventually hit Housing and the Financial Sector. Capital will be constrained to a degree we haven't seen since 1973-74, all with record debt, and a global energy shock.

They're not gonna have a choice anymore than FDR did. This crisis has been coming since the first baby boomers were born, the Republicans have just made it progressively more dangerous with Reagan and now Trump. So the solution will be proportionately radical.

Proportional representation is the only way to guarantee no Gerrymandering. But I have never heard a compelling explanation for how this doesn't wipe out the representation of minorities in the House.

This is why I tend to prefer radically expanding the size of the legislature/reducing the size of House districts. Make representation far more local.

"The court has spoken, Brooklyn's elected leaders have spoken, and most importantly, the voters have spoken." Thank you to @zellnor.bsky.social for this statement in support of a more open transparent, and democratic era for the Brooklyn Democratic Party under future Chair @juliopenabk.com!

@zellnormyrie on Instagram:

"Enough is enough. The court has spoken, Brooklyn's elected leaders have spoken, and most importantly, the voters have spoken- it's time for a renewed Brooklyn Democratic Party that's wholly focused on taking back our democracy and electing Democrats up and down the ballot this November.

"For years, under the old leadership, this was not the focus. The events of the last few weeks demonstrated that clearly but make no mistake, years of losing ground to Republicans, attacking incumbent Democrats, and bringing disrepute to the largest county in the state has taken its toll, and the time for fresh, democratically elected leadership is now.

"I was proud to support my returning District Leader Akel Wiliams when many fellow elected leaders in my district, including County, did not along with a coalition of leaders this past June who will move the party forward in partnership with every Democrat in the borough. I look forward to an open, transparent, and democratic process to elect the next leader of Brooklyn Democratic Party."

In the caption, he wrote, "It's time to turn the page in Brooklyn. @juliopenany for County Leader"

The kid puts up with years of dysfunction from a shitty parent, and then, one day, finally understands they would never change/would never care. So, they cut their losses and save themselves. But "she cut contact over a haircut" makes the kid sound crazy, so that becomes the parent's story.

I find it fascinating that so many estranged parents view the estrangement as an incident, not as a process. So it's forums full of Boomers going "She stopped talking to me because I said her haircut was bad! She's so UNREASONABLE!", when, in reality, they've been shitting on their kid for decades.
