I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

More unreal higher ed news
absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.
The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.
The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.

adding to my "what the hell is danielle allen doing" file alongside that book promo event she did with curtis yarvin
Danielle Allen has proposed many good things for Harvard, so I’m puzzled by her reading of the word “compact” here, as if this would be an agreement freely entered into. She rightly says that, as written, this shouldn’t be agreed to. Maybe leave it there? therenovator.substack.com/p/why-im-exc...

Oh Jesus Christ.
CNN host right now asks Rep. Jamie Raskin, "We know that statistics show crime is down in DC. But does it 'feel' like crime is down?"
Raskin: "Oh, definitely, if you compare it to other periods in DC." (He grew up there, and knows.) But obvs still a problem.
FYI it's Kasie Hunt.

Terrific @asapolisoc.bsky.social panel on Political Engagement at #asa2025 this am. Overall takeaway, conventional understandings of engagement are far too restricted to voting. E.g. Case's research says egalitarian and redistributive ballot initiatives are hugely popular, esp. in red states.
