As all the mechanics in my life I know hit their thirties they have either figured out how to get their way to running a shop/management, or their bodies are breaking. To make a living with manual labor in this country is to destroy your body and receive a societal shrug when you’re disabled.

My PhD advisor, Peggy Sanday, published Fraternity Gang Rape (1990). She found gang rape functions as male bonding through domination: men use women to prove masculinity, gain status, & demonstrate loyalty. Group norms normalize coercion, erase consent, & institutional privilege shields perpetrators

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court
The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

This is huge: a judge ruled a Flock search was 'indiscriminate mass surveillance' and unconstitutional. Says the search by a cop, who did it because a passing car had a plate from a different state, violated the driver's rights. Meaning, Flock should require a warrant www.404media.co/federal-judg...

Flock’s nationwide network is quickly “approaching dragnet-type law enforcement practice” and the cop should have got a warrant, the judge wrote.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be alive. Instead he was wrongfully killed by ICE agents. His son Lorenzo Salgado Jr. recalls memories of how his father inspired him and shaped him into the man he is today. Oversight Dems will get justice for Lorenzo and his family.

Deep dives like this really put into perspective what Chief Justice Rehnquist was doing in 2000 when he resurrected the Court’s precedents of the 1870s and 1880s, writing that their authors “had intimate knowledge and familiarity with the events surrounding the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment.”

The false equivalence that the left is as extreme politically as the far-right, when all the left cares about is affordability and dignity for all human beings, is what results in this degradation of values (the tolerance from MSM) toward the gutter racism in our politics. See: NYT's sanewashing
