@moneyontheleft.bsky.social's body of work on how to redesign public finance is great—and growing. For all those who intuitively already understand that the "how will we pay for it?" question is fake but want to understand how to change the rules of the game, this is IMO the best resource.👇

there are the normal reasons to be skeptical about polling (their performance in the last decade of so, thorny methodological problems) but is there any reason to think that polling error swings right instead of left this time around?

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."
