As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

As a current public defender, for over a decade, I cosign everything here.
We absolutely have a two-tier justice system. I've had clients convicted of non-violent misdemeanors get more jail time than dozens of people in the Epstein files.

As a former public defender who represented thousands of people, I can’t stop thinking about the contrast the Epstein files raise.
I watched 1000s face swift, devastating punishment for far less serious conduct — poor, marginalized, & presumed dangerous from the start.

Apparently, the FBI agents investigating the Epstein case had to look up where Wisconsin is.

MAGA spends all its energy policing bathrooms and drag queens while ignoring the predators in its own ranks. Robert Medcalf’s arrest for infant molestation is a grim reminder: the threat isn't the person in the wig; it's often the one in the red hat.

Yes and some in the pundit class badly want to believe that Trumpism represents the true mystical longings of the Real American volk, because they want liberals/Dems to accommodate Trumpism by scaling back their commitments to pluralism and the open society
My long-held, maybe-unprovable hypothesis is that immigration restriction is an issue a loud but small core of right-wing voters want, helped by a pundit class that agrees with it or is helplessly hooked on dumb balance.
Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.
Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

The costs of anti-vax shit really needs to be a bigger part of the conversation. Ask Kennedy about his plan to expand hospital capacity when his favorite diseases come back? What is the budget for it where will it come from? How are schools to prepare?

One of the many reasons that I don't use AI.
Hi attorneys! Want to not be able to get to sleep tonight? Here's Judge Rakoff (probably the single most well-respected judge in SDNY) saying that the use of AI destroys both attorney-client privilege and work-product privilege.

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.
