I sincerely encourage anyone who thinks this way to put on your armor of righteousness and then sit tight and await instructions from Pope Leo, the literal Daddy Lion of the Church of Rome.

Yeah, you ban sexual misconduct in order to change the equilibrium price at which workplace BATNA power can be converted to unfree sex (ideally to “it cannot be had”) and then you have to defend the new equilibrium in every direction.

yeah. the upside to state courts is they're ~immune to fed winds, the downside is that they not going to impose retaliatory gerrymanders.

there's also the Wisconsin strategy of using edpol to run up the score in offcycle state supreme court elections, but the timelines for that for NC are really grim

meme of two guys on the bus, sad guy looking at the rock face says "we're going to have to prosecute this stuff" and the happy guy is saying "we're going to get to prosecute this stuff"

In some sense the “real (private) bigotry level” is real and the canards are meaningless, but at another level what you’re allowed and expected to say changes the trajectory of what people think and what groups do.

Like an important 101 Econ lesson is that money is fake and the real economy is real. But an important 201 lesson is that money is not epiphenomenal, and money events can alter the trajectory of the real economy.
