A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

People don’t understand that stripping the guardrails of regulation and oversight doesn’t just apply to like better business bureau type shit but also like on a practical level when I get into an elevator I expect that it has passed a safety inspection & that type of security will be gone soon

We’ve reached the point in this crisis where comrades from out of state are shipping us packages of thousands of whistles to distribute.
Know that when we win here- we’ll return that favor for the next city. Just as Chicago has taught us.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Something else great about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is that every email I get is not a fundraising ask. They do fundraising emails but it's not the only time I hear from them. Today's email is about signing up for low-income heating assistance. Makes people feel like more than just a pocketbook.

The Somali community was well-established in Minnesota when I lived there in the late ‘90s and early aughts. The vitriol being directed at them is just as dangerous as any attack on any other group would be. Turning people against their neighbors only hurts communities.

This is especially bullshit because USTA players are rated by skill level based how much they win against their opponents and if they win too much, they're moved up to the next level with tougher competition until they don't dominate. It's a self-levelling system designed to create even matches.

Last week I wrote about how the US Patent and Trademark Office is pushing a rule change that would effectively neuter the inter partes review (IPR) system that reviews already granted patents to make sure they weren't granted by mistake. Patent tolls and other abusers of the patent system have been screaming about this system ever since it started actually helping stop the flood of patent trolling over the last decade and a half.
