5. FWIW, that's also why, if the pro-Constitutional Democracy factions of the U.S. political order ever get the trifecta, they can't wait to pass their reforms. They can't spend time hashing them out in committee. They need prêt à passer legislation.

"Because working people have been shunted into defined contribution, self-funded retirement schemes, their futures are wedded to stock market returns in a way that people in similarly wealthy democracies find unimaginable." Inequality in the US is obscene. My thoughts:

160 years ago, the 13th Amendment was ratified, ending slavery. But that amendment came with a sinister loophole: a Slavery Clause that allowed for slavery “as punishment for crime.”
We need to pass @repnikema.bsky.social’s and my Abolition Amendment to #EndTheException once and for all!

Currently reading Parliamentary America by Maxwell Stearns.
It's introduces 3 amendments to modernize democracy. While its a clear exposition of why these steps are necessary, I do favor the near term w.o. amendments

Great to hear the legal folks are properly suspicious of AI search.
I wonder how long UpToDate, the search engine most physicians use, will remain a viable non-AI product.

I asked my MIT undergraduates in a science journalism class what they thought about/how they used AI.
A couple used it for search (with a careful eye out for hallucination). All said that they were very skeptical of using it in any consequential and unchecked/unchechable sequence.
Good.

The judge should order everyone involved to be held in contempt *behind bars* until Belloza is returned to her home.
Beyond depraved: "Hours after her detainment, court documents obtained by ABC News show that a federal judge ordered the government not to remove the 19-year-old from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts. But Lopez Belloza was deported to Honduras the next day."
