I‘m tired of being nice about this; “abolitionism” has had years to develop a non-idiot policy program and the best they’ve come up with is ”murder without even the pretense of juridical process.” And I am not nut-picking; this is all over abolitionist writing.

Plausible that Trump’s policy of mass deportations will not just end a “temporary shift” among Hispanic voters but also lead to a more durable U-turn. In California, the 1994 “anti-immigrant ballot measure Prop 187 marked the death knell of the Republican Party.” calmatters.org/commentary/2...
The New Jersey governor’s race is the first significant sign that Trump’s success with Hispanic voters in 2024 may have been a temporary shift.

um, it’s actually misogyny to suggest the NYT shouldn’t do a glam cover story of the reporter who fucked her source. in fact, it’s also misogyny to suggest that our reporter shouldn’t have rolled his tongue out while his eyes grow x10 larger like an old acme cartoon while he reported on her.

Hey if there's going to be a battle over Wiles maybe we'll find out what she's actually been doing these last nine months.
If there’s a nascent power struggle around the WH COS (and there always is), the thing that will quash it is definitely a major cabinet secretary publicly calling attention to it with vague accusations in a social media post.

unfortunately some of the stereotypes about social sciences that conservatives have, largely false in like Econ, Poli sci, etc. are partially true about education research (lots of exceptions, etc). it's really bad.

You obviously can't just do what they say, but an unfortunate reality about politics (per the "legislative subsidy" literature) is that corporate lobbyists tend to be much better informed about the substantive details of policy issues than overworked/underpaid congressional staff or NGOs types.

Fortunately, PTSD is a condition whose treatment is covered under the essential health benefits that remain in place thanks to the progress of the Affordable Care Act.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says he still has “PTSD” from the GOP’s failed effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act during President Trump’s first term.
Now, the party is about to plunge back into the tricky policy debate that once cost them seats in the House.
