Saying someone shouldn't win reelection to Congress just because he's dead feels kinda ageist :/

Is that bad

When Tekashi 6ix9ine, the rapper and former gang member, finished serving a three-month sentence at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, he left carrying a peculiar souvenir. He showed it off to two friends who were waiting outside the jail to collect him: it was a homemade SpongeBob SquarePants figurine with a jagged series of lines—not unlike a heartbeat monitor, or a mountain range—scribbled on it. This was, 6ix9ine explained, the autograph of Nicolás Maduro, the President of Venezuela. The signature was also dated, in Spanish, “2.º Abril.” “Look, one of one,” 6ix9ine said, holding up the SpongeBob, which, he later explained, another inmate had meticulously crafted, folding six hundred pieces of paper and sewing them together, over the course of two weeks. “Maduro signed it,” he said, proudly, before adding, “Venezuela forever.”

Luckily Chief Justice Roberts told me that political gerrymandering by bare majorities is good and can be solved by simple politics 🥰

I think the gerrymandering race to the bottom is genuinely bad and undemocratic and unfortunately what the dems are doing is the least bad of the bad options available.

I'm still eternally thinking about this

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

First saw this story over on Threads, and people really, really, really did not like anyone correcting misinformation about their misreading of the story. We seem to be moving to some sort of post-reality where people just want fake stories that reinforce their beliefs.

The Trump Administration will not allow Radical Leftist groups to funnel money to neo-Nazis and fascists. That's THEIR job.

The basic challenge with discussing Sarah Isgur is that she's just not interesting. She is a Supreme Court fangirl who makes money by praising conservative justices in public. There are lots of conservative lawyers like her, and the next time one of them says anything insightful will be the first.

Democrats Once Loathed Gerrymandering. Now They’re Pushing for It.

The words "North Carolina," and "Missouri" do not appear in this piece of shit article.

Neither does the word "decade."

"Florida" and "Texas" appear in subordinate clauses, after words like "After Virginia ..." and "Gov. Gavin Newsom of California framed ..."

As @kathryn1.bsky.social flagged earlier today…the Volokh Conspiracy army are preparing to grasp at every imaginable straw to make this about “the leak” instead of “Republican justices made up fake law because they were worried about their personal stock portfolios”

A plausible theory but I think it's more likely that he's just lying to juice ticket sales. "Oh yeah you GOTTA see the new Endgame cut. Crucial Glub Shitto backstory there."

The idea that it is "prejudicial to the administration of justice" to report on decade-old memos concerning a long-concluded case is ridiculous. And if the rules of professional ethics did apply so broadly, they'd obviously violate the First Amendment.

Tall children have a biological advantage in basketball & should be banned from playing high-school ball. It's not fair to the other students.
