In 1890, a Kentucky delegate warned that “the right to vote is too sacred to depend upon the act of a Legislature.” The convention kept that power anyway. 135 years later, 158,000+ Kentuckians still can’t vote. #KYpol #CreativeRecess Part I of a new series: www.creativerecess.me/blog/the-ari...

Kentucky didn’t build its voting trapdoor in 1891. It welded it shut. On Section 145, a governor’s grace, and the 158,300 Kentuckians still subtracted from the electorate. Possibility Pages, Part I of...

I wrote for @thecut.com about the Cornell case and what it says that, at my institution and many others like it, protesters are often punished more harshly than sexual assailants www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

The most-quoted literacy statistic in America — "54% of adults read below a sixth-grade level" — was withdrawn by its own publisher in 2024. It's still on posters today. I wrote about what that means for a county that just lost its newspaper.

The entire Democratic establishment and its corporate donors are rallying at the last second, along with $40+ million from AIPAC, to push Stevens over the edge. Tells you they're terrified of what Abdul represents. Hope Michiganders can see through it.
