Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

This Day in Labor History: October 10, 1917. The red light district of New Orleans, known as Storyville, closed due to the efforts of reformers seeking to eliminate vice from the city. Let's talk about sex work and how banning red light districts just made workers unsafe!

More from Justice Eddins on Hawaii Supreme Court, Troubadour with a gavel
NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court.
The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on.
The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:

Maxwell’s “defenses” are performance, not proof. Hedged, lawyerly, and vague, they shield her from perjury while offering nothing substantive about Trump.
To claim they “exonerate” him is theater—empty words staged to sound protective, but ultimately bullshit.

Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
