Six years since kid3 wrote this passive-aggressive classic to kid1. Now that she can drive on her own she no longer bugs him for rides, though.

You won’t be surprised to know that several southern states had schemes this — Georgia’s county unit system was a similar one — but the Warren Court’s imposition of the “one person, one vote” standard took them down. This SCOTUS, however, seems ready to bring that back.

"Trump has asked the Supreme Court if he is, in effect, a king. And at least four members of the court, among them the so-called originalists, have said, in essence, that they’ll have to think about it." www.nytimes.com/2024/04/26/o...
Opinion | This Whole King Trump Thing Is Getting Awfully Literalwww.nytimes.com The former president’s claim that he has absolute immunity for criminal acts taken in office as president is an insult to reason.

my spiciest take as a queer Catholic is that there are about six too many Catholics on the Supreme Court for my personal comfort and safety, and I think even one generation of a No White Christians court would radically improve every single aspect of life in America in ways we cannot even conceive
I think this is true. I know we're not supposed to talk about religion, but the distribution of religious organizations Supreme Court Justices belong to is far, far from reflecting the national distribution.

Dear University Presidents: They are coming for you. They don’t care if you give in to every single demand, roll over and play dead. They are coming for you. Stop treating this like a good faith inquiry from civic minded leaders. It’s a hit job.

I love Frederick Douglas! What a gifted and courageous man!!
Frederick Douglass has thoughts about the effort to recuperate Robert E. Lee "Whatever else I may forget, I shall never forget the difference between those who fought for liberty and those who fought for slavery; between those who fought to save the Republic and those who fought to destroy it.”

And my bias: I think there are a lot of people out there who create DELIBERATE ambiguity and uncertainly about whether or not their threats are true or rhetorical, and relish the fear (and accompanying chill on speech) that causes, and those people are scum.
