My life and career would have been very different if I had lived the heart of my reproductive years without the protection of Roe v. Wade. Alito is an enemy of liberty and freedom for anyone with a uterus.

I tend to not have many friendships with people who actively strive to consign me to second-class citizenship and give the state dominion over my body. But I doubt Alito had many friends who were misled on this point.

It's hard to tell which is weirder: the fact that these guys seriously suggest that models like Claude have consciousness/sentience or that they actually invest time and money (weird!) trying to convince the Pope as well as theologians and legal scholars of this belief.

The criminal justice system has proven to be more resilient against Trump’s authoritarianism than many of our other systems. What can we learn from that?

The Free State of Kansas has rejected yet another effort to impose state control of women’s bodies. This amendment is failing by 10+ points in Trump +50 counties. Maybe the Democrats who are too chicken to say the word abortion should give that some thought.
