In a letter drawn from a posthumous collection of correspondence, published in 2019, the neurologist Oliver Sacks argued that society had no immunity to the seductions of digital life. “What we are seeing—and bringing on ourselves—resembles a neurological catastrophe on a gigantic scale,” he wrote.

Rep. Sara Jacobs is one of the top 15 wealthiest members of Congress. She is set to introduce legislation today that would—if enacted—work against her own self-interest by increasing her own taxes.

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it.
It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

The beauty of due process is that it is supposed work for everyone. Our system is set up so that even the most vile offender gets the same due process as a completely innocent person. Then, and only then can we say they deserve the punishment we hand out.
