J Edgar Hoover’s membership in and reliance on Kappa Alpha (a VA frat started in 1865 👀) to staff the newly developed FBI significantly informed its racial politics through the 70’s.

One way tech oligarchs retain power is through dual-class shares, allowing them to cash in on public stock markets without giving up power over their companies. @ryanlcooper.com thinks this needs to end: Dual-class shares should be banned, or taxed in proportion to founder control over the company.

Are the “far left” an integral part of the Democratic coalition that can make or break elections? If so, perhaps Dems should treat them with the same deference and outreach they use to reach (eye roll) center-right voters. Or the far left are an annoying gnat that doesn’t matter. Pick one.

Plus, Wednesday marks the 50th anniversary of the racist, classist Hyde Amendment. It’s a budget rider that, for many, rendered the protections of Roe v. Wade as just words on a page: www.autonomynews.co/tennessee-ag...
Screenshot from Autonomy News:

Wednesday marks the 50th anniversary of the racist, classist Hyde Amendment, which banned federal funds from being used to cover abortion care in the Medicaid health insurance program for low-income people. Medicaid enrollees are disproportionately Black, Indigenous, and Latina. Hyde has never been codified into a standalone law; it's a rider that has been attached to federal spending bills since 1976, including in years when Democrats controlled Congress and the White House. Just months after Hyde first went into effect, a 27-year-old single mother named Rosie Jimenez died. She had previously been able to use her Medicaid benefits to obtain safe abortion care, but was forced to seek care from an unsafe provider because of Hyde. Over time, the policy has been expanded to apply to every federally funded health program, including the Children's Health Insurance Program, the Indian Health Service, Tricare-the health insurance program for active duty military members-and health coverage programs for federal employees.

Not a great sign when your 12-person private fundraiser includes someone who hates you enough to leak damaging audio
The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.

To quote a @chrislhayes.bsky.social jape at the Roberts Court: "They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one."
Steve Vladeck, a professor a Georgetown Law, writes up breaking developments from the Supreme Court. The last post in the three-post thread is the kicker, for our purpose here.

"#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the third-country removals case; clears way for Trump admin. to continue removing non-citizens without a full chance to litigate the conditions in those countries (while also taking up the full merits appeal). 

"Link: [URL of a supremecourt.gov PDF]

"By my math, the order was filed 11 minutes after the Trump administration's reply brief came in."

The mortality reviews that ICE published late last week show that medical neglect is widespread in Trump's concentration camps — something immigrants, advocates and attorneys have said for years, and which ICE routinely denies. New from me in @prospect.org.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too
