Good to see that Gaza is #1 here. Lack of discussion of Palestine was easily this site’s biggest failing beforehand

I'll be writing about today's Supreme Court arguments in Callais v. Louisiana—which the GOP justices have likely teed up to nuke what's left of the Voting Rights Act—but for now, read up on the practical consequences of this case: a net 19 extra House seats for Republicans. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Supreme Court Might Net Republicans 19 Congressional Seats in One Fell Swoop

On Wednesday, the justices will take the extraordinary step of rehearing Louisiana v. Callais.

this tendency within contemporary liberalism is intimately connected with its aversion to acknowledging past or present colonialism

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · Sep 16

Liberals are unwilling to admit that there is a form of politics that exists in the world that centers around causing harm for pleasure, destroying things, and looting the rubble, and they're unwilling to admit that this politics has a stranglehold on the right
