If you'd like to read a better account of the separation of powers—understood as a political architecture rather than a legalistic doctrine—check out @trivesbell.bsky.social's wonderful new book.

My friend Tim designed this sign. We’re printing yard signs where we live in Galesburg, IL. Feel free to print where you live, or to share widely on social media. This is a scandal.
