We started Reconstruction but it fairly quickly led to a civil war with the KKK that the government largely lost, and we gave up the rest of Reconstruction to sweep that under the rug.
The past 50-60 years of politics has been the bill coming due for that.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

I’m taking this opportunity to thank you again for helping me via tweet when the mayor of my City came after me for being, in his opinion, a bad Nextdoor moderator. He wanted the City Attorney to sue me. I think your response was a groan and I knew I was on solid ground ignoring him

A lot of people owe that lady a lot of apologies that are never going to happen. Even if you didn't love her it's undeniable she was totally correct.

He's on record saying he decided to run because he thought Harris couldn't win.
I don't think he "lied". He had no incentive to lie about this.

Yes, and, Biden did himself zero favors. He could have been a "zero fucks to give" one-term president, instead he surrounded himself by party apparatchiks and hunkered down to run for a second term no one wanted.

THe steep decline for Biden should stand as an embarrasment for all the party leaders. Biden was doing a great job and they just stood back and let the media trash him for four years.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

Thus, anti-vaxxers. Conspiracy theorists. Vibes replacing consensus reality. If there's a firehose of information, the average person cannot devote the mental resources needed to determine what's real and what isn't, so they'll just pick whichever reality feels best to them. Bad actors can provide.

It's fun when I get to use, essentially, purely abstract legal concepts to shift millions of dollars from gigantic construction conglomerates to their workers. Like, I genuinely love my job when I can do that.

🤬My anger cannot be expressed in words that the human ear would allow itself to be open to.
It should be a violation of attorney ethics rules to represent the govt against an unrepresented minor. Make it so the govt attorneys and immigration judges aren't allowed to be in the process.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Giving out death in punishment by flawed humans results in flawed results. The only way not to make these errors is take away the temptation.
Truly bonkers stats that should give us pause
An astonishing 80 percent of the Louisiana's death sentences between 1976 and 2015 were later reversed.
A judge recently vacated the conviction of Chris Duncan, who had been on the state's death row for decades.

He’s Been On Louisiana’s Death Row for Decades. A Judge Just Vacated His Conviction.
Chris Duncan’s longtime claims of innocence were boosted by the discrediting of bite mark analysis, and by recent reforms now under threat from the state’s Republican leadership.
