Voters finding out that their actions have consequences is at least cosmically funny
Trump is continuing to record “horrendous” polling numbers on the key voter issue of healthcare.

This widespread, unexamined assumption that restrictions on dangerous driving–speed cameras, road diets, crackdowns on individual drivers–are a burden for a given neighborhood instead of a demonstrably life-saving amenity is a sign of how car-brained our society is
Yeah I’m sorry, but this is indefensible and is *exactly* the kind of shit that people are talking about when they talk about non-profit/activist brainworms. And it’s causing real harm here! Minorities are more likely to be victims of drunk drivers as well!
The California ACLU is staunchly opposed to the ignition interlock device program and is a big reason that it has not been expanded. Despite the fact that California heavily subsidizes the cost for low-income drunk drivers, the ACLU says that the program is a form of "racialized wealth extraction."

If you really thought the US govt would release damning evidence that the world's top figures in politics, law, academia, and culture are a bunch of child rapists, I bet you really thought Epstein would live long enough to testify too. This coverup is honestly worse than who killed JFK.
Senators Adam Schiff and Dick Durbin wrote a letter to the DOJ inspector general asking for an independent review to see if any chain of custody issues allowed the documents to be “scrubbed, softened, or quietly removed before the public sees it." trib.al/Cm3Sznl

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

🧵Teaching Students NOT to use AI
So...I've tried to explain to my students why they aren't allowed to use genAI in MY class (even though the university seems to be encouraging them to)
I've written this document to try to explain WHY it's a bad idea rather than just forbidden fruit.

IF YOU WANTED to design a quiet coup in a republic that still mouths the words “checks & balances,” you wouldn’t roll tanks down Penn. Avenue. You’d hand a volatile president a match, dress it up as “Article II,” and watch six robed partisans strike it against the wiring of the administrative state.

we all understand this intuitively, but there's like this ... shame gap, or hyperbole gap. R's can say libs should be rounded up into camps and you get "trump proposes controversial policy" from the NYT. Any Dem can mildly suggest R's are not great for democracy & the pearls come out for clutching.
Imagine, for just a second, Biden saying this about Fox News.
And I bet the absolutely feckless White House press corps won’t cover this like the legit constitutional 1A disaster this is.

Trump: "I think the people that have run CNN are a disgrace. I think it's imperative that CNN be sold because you certainly wouldn't want to just leave those people with some money so they can spend even more spending poison. It's lies. I wouldn't want to see the same company end up with CNN."
