As always, it's instructive that in the postwar reconstruction we provided our constitutional structure to zero (0) defeated foes

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.
These guys are traitors to the republic just like their heroes Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee

The kindest people have often known the most heartache. Kindness is not a weakness. It takes a strong heart to keep steady. Time and again, I have seen the beauty in it. The power in it. There is something holy about it.

Is the 22nd amendment self-executing, or does Congress now have to affirmatively state who has served in the White House for two terms and may not serve a third?

The 2024 election is unusual: it offers us a choice between two recent presidents. We know exactly how each of them will govern, because we've already seen them do it. So let's compare. There are 209 weeks in a presidential term. There are currently 329 days until the 2024 election. Let’s do this.

Kind of fun that after all this talk of democracy the justices basically amended the constitution by judicial fiat

Look, I don't like Nikki Haley and definitely won't vote for her over Biden. But if her winning the primary means a much higher chance of Biden losing, I'd still take it, because she's not going to try to abolish democracy.

Our carceral system works by using the worst people — Chauvin, Dahmer, and other outliers — to induce us to accept and even applaud inhuman conditions involving assault, rape, grotesque neglect, and deliberate abuse. It’s not a strategy that would work on a healthy or decent society.
“Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured Friday at a federal prison in Arizona, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.”

"Studies have shown that a mere 10% shift from car drivers to bike riders has resulted in a 40% reduction in traffic congestion. Even if you never touch an e-bike, you would benefit from supporting their increased use."
It's not an 'electric bike craze.' You're looking at the future of transportationelectrek.co Electric bikes aren't a fad or a craze, they're here to stay. Their numbers are growing every year. Now how do we make it all safer?
