Ban gerrymandering and then have the current court review it?
I hope this is a joke because if not I’m seriously going to lose it.
Ok this shit is going to give me a fucking stroke. My guess is every player, or nearly so, is a birthright citizen. So am I. So is nearly everyone reading this (who is an American citizen). Stop posting this shit about people of color only.
OK new slide for public opinion dropped
I sometimes say to myself “I’m a serious political scientist” usually when old nudie magazines show up in the mail.
Read Trevor Lee claiming Utah could stop a representative from expressing support for queer people and had to write up a short post about how fucking stupid that is.
If you are old, like me, you remember that every single MAGA Boomer wrote a book like this:
Utah Republicans have a real problem with free speech, well when the speech is something they dislike. You can see this today in an absurd fight over Centerville City Council member Cheylynn Hayman ...
18th century "cat contract" (納貓兒契式; based on a Yuan-dynasty original), laying out the cat's duties and responsibilities: tirelessly guarding the grain, repelling the "mousey bandits" (鼠賊), not messing with the livestock, not stealing numnums "of any kind whatsoever" (不得偷盜食諸般).
I had the great pleasure of reviewing @dygottlieb.bsky.social’s excellent new book YUPPIES for @newrepublic.com, AND I also had the great pleasure of meeting Dylan at the American Political History Conference last weekend. Congrats again, Dylan! 🗃️ newrepublic.com/article/2112...
No one should be shocked by this. Read the ancient texts. archive.org/details/lesb...

"Court-packing would create a slippery slope to the destruction of judicial review...To the extent Callais is a problem, it can be better addressed by steps such as banning gerrymandering. There are also better remedies for various other shortcomings of the Court," writes @ilyasomin.bsky.social.
Rebranding a hallucination as a ‘critical confabulation’ that can fill archival gaps is a big no from me.
The urban professionals who transformed American cities and tastes and pulled the Democratic Party to the right are a dying breed.
A new poll from the New York Times shows potential Democratic voters want the party to move to the right, are happy with where it is ideologically, and rate socialism highly. Huh?
