Reposted by kyleSteve Vladeck @stevevladeck.bsky.social · 1hThe First Amendment wasn’t actually “first.” The original First Amendment was meant to ensure that the House of Representatives grew in loose proportion to the country. Instead, the House’s size hasn’t changed since 1911. Today’s “One First” on that history—and the problems a capped House creates:stevevladeck.comBonus 256: The Original “First” AmendmentThe only provision from the original Bill of Rights that was never adopted would've grown the House in proportion to the country. We should revisit it. 1425253

Every time I've warned of fascism or dictatorship, people have laughed and said that full-blown dictatorship has obviously not arrived. But that's often not how it arrives, fully garbed. It arrives thru steady erosion of norms that you barely notice are gone. 720462
