Mississippi's Black population is 38% and they haven't had a Black Senator since Reconstruction but Justice Roberts would like you to know that we don't need racial protections in voting because that's all in the past.

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

Aaron Swartz was hounded and persecuted by overzealous prosecutors for a mass JSTOR download until he committed suicide. Sam Altman says that he deserves to violate copyright law in perpetuity because otherwise he can't make a fortune from a large language model. We are in the wrong timeline.

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy! When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship. There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

The real problem is that, while progressive politicians and pundits do plenty of dumb things, conservative politicians and pundits are usually the ones doing LAUGHABLY dumb things. As a result, more jokes about conservatives.

Conservatives' suggestion that comedy shows need to add right-leaning staff writers to make their jokes more "fair" completely misunderstands what's happening.

If there's any silver lining to the ABC/Kimmel debacle, I'm hoping that it's that it helped some people finally understand why capitalism's amoral emphasis on placing shareholder value on an altar above all else is not a great tenet on which to base a democracy.
