Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

People have no idea how valuable it is to have accurate statistics on the state of the economy and society. And yet, here we are as Trump turns to another page in the autocrat's playbook.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time

"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
The worst chief justice of all time
Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

The largest union in America, the three million member-strong National Educators Association, has voted to *cut all ties* with the Anti-Defamation League, citing the ADL’s opposition to Palestinian rights and antiracism.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Trump simply ignoring the TikTok ban has led to Republicans literally passing bills they oppose on the promise they will be ignored
CNBC: It sounds to me like the president persuaded you by saying he's gonna override some of the provisions in the bill. Is that right?

RALPH NORMAN: He's going to on the permitting drive a hard bargain. He's gonna have accountability. You'll see some executive orders.

God, this is a cursed discourse, but: Souder, Breyer, and Stephens all retired when their minds were still sharp and they were years away from death. (Breyer is still with us.)

Ginsburg was uniquely selfish, and her legacy is ashes.
I always think of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She died, but I don't think that she ever declined.

Super-quick take while reading the ruling:

This is going to be a much bigger deal for challenges to *other* Trump policies than to birthright citizenship (where it's likely that lower courts will still be able to block the policy on a nationwide basis even after this ruling).

*That's* the import.
First #SCOTUS ruling today is birthright citizenship.

Justice Barrett, for a 6-3 majority (with the three Dem. appointees dissenting) holds that universal injunctions are only appropriate when necessary to provide "complete" relief to parties, and stays these injunctions insofar as they go further:
