One of the police union issues in San Antonio was that police were having their alimony and legal fees for divorce subsidized by the city so that they "wouldn't get penalized just because they got a divorce" (as a spouse would be entitled to some portion) which was just totally absurd lol
Ordinary regular poor people trying to live their lives and raise their children: Can we get a $25k loan from the city to use as a down payment on a home in a nice neighborhood?
Governments: Absolutely not
Cops making about $75k/yr base: Can we
Governments: YES AND YOUR LOAN IS FULLY FORGIVABLE

“Solomans book is true to the letter only it dos not portray the system as bad as it is it is not in the power of man to do it.”
Another amazing thing I found in the archives - with the help of @otsapina.bsky.social - was the journal of a Civil War soldier who visited a plantation where Solomon Northup had been held captive. I wrote about it here.

NYT doesn’t get it. He’s terrorizing nonwhite people, seizing imperial power, perverting the government, and spewing hateful lies. This is pro-Trump gaslighting.

They're desperate to rationalize "heritage American" as if it's some serious intellectual theory and not a white nationalist twitter meme. Which doesn't work because it is, in fact, just a white nationalist twitter meme.

Yeah there’s a lot to unpack here and all of it is gross.
So far the only consistent through-line for “heritage Americans” that I’ve observed is that they seek a vision of the Nation where they, and no one else, gets to have an Asian wife.

No joke but a truly huge part of the problem is the incredibly shrinking Congressional remit, I still think this is downstream of the fillibuster and the problem of American government that practically none of its institutions was set up to facilitate compromise in a divided government
a lot of [gestures] can be traced back to this
With fewer than 40 bills signed into law as of Dec. 22, the House and Senate set a modern record for lowest legislative output in the first year of a new presidency, according to data maintained by C-SPAN and Purdue University. https://wapo.st/3YPTQGo
