if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 1d

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists.

Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

Professor Jason Stanley, head of American Studies at the University of Toronto’s Munk School, says the United States is in the midst of a coup led by the Trump administration — a “slow coup” unfolding through fear, propaganda, and the abuse of law.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

Vähemmän hauskoja faktoja:

-Suomi ei ole eheyttämishoidot kieltäneiden maiden joukossa

-Suomessa Autismiliitto ei ole selväsanaisesti tuominnut ABAa (l. autistien eheyttämistä). Se on myös vastaanottanut sponsseja ABAtoimijoilta, tarjonnut niille näkyvyyttä ja puolustanut niitä autisteja vastaan.

Shout out to the Naked Bikeride who today ran hundreds of naked people directly through the line of federal officers and effectively blocked them from assaulting demonstrators. Being naked on a bike goes on the list of effective tactics if you get at least 500 of them and the city loves you.

"MOT kysyi myös yrityksiltä, miten ammattikoulutuksen muutokset heijastuvat työelämään.
Kyselyyn vastanneista peräti neljä viidestä on sitä mieltä, että opiskelijoiden taidot ovat heikentyneet 2020-luvulla."

"Sipilän kaudella amiksilta nipistettiin noin 200 miljoonaa."

"Myös nykyinen Petteri Orpon (kok.) hallitus on jatkanut leikkauksia, se on saksinut ammattikoulutuksesta 120 miljoonaa euroa."

2010-luvun puolivälissä lähiopetuksen määrä laski noin 2 500 tuntiin. Nyt sitä on enää 2 100 tuntia.

AO:n mukaan erot oppilaitosten välillä ovat suuria. Se on johtanut epätasa-arvoon opiskelijoiden kesken.

On haluttu siirtää kustannuksia yhteiskunnalta työnantajille.
