Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

Great post from my colleague Joey Fishkin @fishkin.bsky.social. The same should be said about the preexisting Title VI demands. I don’t see any kind of “deal” that doesn’t fundamentally undermine the rule of law and academic freedom.

The need for fair congressional districts is beyond overdue. Ohio elected officials must pass a bipartisan map that accurately represents their communities.

From ‘Do everything I can’ to ‘Yeah, I don’t know’: DeWine retreats on redistricting reform promise
Gov. Mike DeWine vowed last year to push through an Iowa-based redistricting reform measure. Now, he just hopes lawmakers will eventually look at the idea.

Same guy who lied that immigrants were eating pets. Actual statistics show he's lying here, too.
Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

As someone who has been on the business end of nationwide injunctions that I thought were improper, I find the question of what rules we should adopt for them to be genuinely hard. But yesterday's decision deserves massive criticism, for at least two reasons. (Thread.)
