Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

The level of misinformation spread by proponents of heliocentrism, many of whom are professional astronomers and many of whom have fancy letters and affiliations affixed to their names, is really demoralizing. β€” Ajesse Singali, writing about the trial of Galileo, 1633

I have been thinking a lot about "elite impunity" and what exactly that means. I think for it to make sense, it must be laid alongside state violence. See the care and concern for Larry Summers alongside the brutal violence against Nurul Amin Shah Alam.

Gas price at my neighborhood @kwiktrip.bsky.social before Tuesday's State of the Union address: $2.50/gallon.

Gas price at my neighborhood Kwik Trip today, two days later: $2.80/gallon.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Here’s the thing about folks speedrunning the creative process with AI:

I could go to the beach every morning and put a grain of sand in a cup. They’d take their cup to the beach and fill it one day; but the point isn’t to have a cup of sand. It’s to fill my life with a thousand trips to the beach.

The Conservative Proposal To Take Money from Poor Single Moms and Give It to Married Couples The Heritage Foundation has an idea: Take from the poor and give to the rich

Too many women in the workforce and delaying or foregoing childbearing? The Heritage Foundation has a plan for that. And it is the opposite of Robin Hood: It's a huge cash transfer from poor single moms to to wealthier married parents.

I Caught POLITICO and the New York Times Laundering Pink Slime "News" How the sexist backlash to AOC and Gretchen Whitmer at the Munich Security Conference led me to a scammy "local news" outlet pushing a coordinated right-wing narrative

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

Almost the entirety of the gap between Fuentes and Rufo is that Rufo hates Muslims more than Jews & Fuentes is the opposite

Btw, the reason all these rich guys are having to turn to AI assistants to run their lives is that they don't realise how reliant their predecessors were on the invisible labour of women.

As per usual, we owed the feds and way overpaid the state because Wisconsin refuses to fully fund public education. The refund is nice, Robin, but I know it’s at the expense of my special ed students
