When it comes to the ethical standards to which Justices are held accountable, Chief Justice Roberts announces a view of separation of powers alarmingly consistent with Dick Cheney racing off the reservation into spheres of unchecked power in the Iran-Contra minority report.

“If you’re taking flak you’re over the target,” Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said on the radio about the massive bipartisan criticism of his attempts to enshrine 41% minority rule over the Ohio Constitution. The target is Ohio voters.

"A January 2022 white paper ... called teenagers 'a critical source of labor,' and linked the conservative backlash to pandemic-era education policies to alleged overreach by school officials charged with protecting children in the workforce."

"On a regional basis it’s the southern swath of the country — in cities and rural areas alike — where the rate of deadly gun violence is most acute, regions where Republicans have dominated state governments for decades." politico.com/news/magazine/… politico.com/news/magazine/…

Dear dictionary types: right-wing usage of “red pilling” needs to reflect usage since 2008 election: “I am fine being turned into an oblivious battery as long as the far right is generating the content that keeps me that way & profits from it”. Cuz that’s how you own the libs.

Did @RishiSunak appoint Tolley to the Raab review as a one-off so he wouldn’t shared Johnson’s disgrace at having a permanent ethics advisor resign when recommendations were set aside to larger interest of hard right support? Patel has become ministerial impunity template.

Thanks the Rt Honorable @SuellaBraverman for showing beyond a doubt that anti-woke is anti-anti-racism at its core. @BorisJohnson knew it, @RishiSunak knew it in appointing her Home Secretary. Hello, @Keir_Starmer, *this* is how far they’ve tottered: British Trumpism, Mk II.

The “home schooling” line should be read as “if schools are the price we have to pay for a packed Supreme Court’s hot take on the 2nd Amendment, so be it”. Fear is set upon liberty, gun sales mount to bury safety.

Braverman trying to ditch Windrush commitments, claiming she shouldn’t be bound to fix her predecessor’s failure, shows why she’s unfit for office. Dropping accountability and transparency measures speaks directly to perpetuating hostile environment by bureaucratic cruelty.

As Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett have decided their interest is to legislate, they owe it to the country to resign immediately to pursue democratic election to the appropriate branch.

Can’t count the number of businesses that still ask people to send SS#, bank account info and other sensitive health and financial info via unencrypted email. They simply don’t care about the security of your data, so you need to care and tell them no.

I had an argument with someone a few weeks ago about the benefits of Solidity as an (imperfect) smart contract language vs. doing things in Rust as Solana does. Looking at these exploit descriptions I feel pretty good about that.
