Great write-up. Fingers crossed the next commissioner can meet the moment.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

💯 When Biden had majorities in both chambers (with VP the Senate tie-breaker), Dems should have expanded the Court to 13 seats. (First remove the filibuster to get law through the Senate). Power to wield, not waste. Instead, he formed a commission that created a report and then he took no action.

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted. What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards. Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.
Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success.

We can't just tax the rich. We need tax their investment gains. Right now our tax code values billionaires' paper profits over *your* labor. Want to make America a fairer country for the working class? Here's how we do it: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Even sky-high income tax rates won’t stop the relentless rise of the richest
Tackling America's wealth gap will require more powerful tactics.

The reason we fight against fascism is because of love. Love for our friends and family. Our children deserve better than this. They deserve not to live in a place where they must fear getting shot. We love them. So we have to win. And in time, we will. The axe forgets but the tree remembers.

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

A bill to make sure poor people stay hungry, sick, and dying so rich people can be slightly richer. Actually evil. We need to make people understand it in those terms and not something about “budgets” or “house reconciliation bills”
