I agree mostly with this. One of the things we get right. I think that’s what makes me so very mad about these people. They hate and are trying to destroy everything we did that was any good, and venerate and elevate our worst aspects.
i'm generally of the opinion that Europe is held back by its implicit commitment to ethnic nationalism, even if they don't form actual ethnocracies. it's to America and Canada's great credit that we have citizenship rooted in the place, not the "people."

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

This is awesome work. I love some good investigative journalism.
I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"
Bill Nye said "Evidence."
Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."
I think about that a lot.

AI dialogues shifted political support by 2 to 3 points in trials, eclipsing standard ads. Roughly one-third of this effect persisted for a month. However, models optimized for persuasion proved more factually error-prone.

Conversations with AI can sway people’s political views. Concerningly, a chatbot’s facts are not always accurate, especially when it supports right-wing positions.

RFKJ coming out pro liver cancer. I think maybe we should let the worm drive? Can’t be worse than his actual “brain”, right?
Just In: A CDC panel appointed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rolled back a hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Some experts question the change.
CDC advisory panel recommends delaying hepatitis B shot for babies
The change upends decades of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and goes against widespread public health consensus.
