At the recommendation of someone here I started listening to the audiobooks of @joeabercrombie.com’s First Law series because narrator Steven Pacey is so good. Holy shit that was an understatement. The narrating skill is absolutely next-level.

An additional headache for Lab is that voters Greens appeal to most strongly - in particular students, young grads and Muslims - often cluster together in the same seats, including many where Greens came 2nd last July and are winning local elections. Conditions forming for big Grn FPP breakthrough

We need to do ultra-masculine fascism, like in J.R.R Tolkien's famous book, "Lord of the here's why Ultra-Masculine Fascism is evil, stupid and self defeating. Under no circumstances do it you fucking clowns."

Many excellent amicus briefs in the Scotus tariff cases. Do they attest to the belief the system still works - or is it because no matter how small the hope scotus will do the right thing it’s still hope? Let me highlight some

What do you need to know about Monday’s Ninth Circuit order about Trump’s effort to deploy the National Guard in Oregon?

The Ninth Circuit's 2-1 Oregon National Guard order was just the start of getting to an answer
Monday's order granting the Trump admin a stay pending appeal in the Oregon case changed nothing on the ground immediately. But, it did crystallize where we are at — and going.

For #IWD and #WomensHistoryMonth - the incredible Alison Neilans, who prevented sex between women being criminalised in England and Wales.
It was proposed in 1921, for cynical reasons, but would probably have become law without her prompt and effective response. (1/6)
