A reminder that "you can just force the central government closed and hold all its public services and workers' paychecks hostage in budget negotiations" is not how a functional country operates and is another way in which the US political system is uniquely terrible.

Some police and now prosecutors are refusing to follow the law that young people be given attorneys before they are interrogated. It's not civil disobedience when those who are sworn to uphold and enforce the law ignore the law - it's insubordination. baltimoresun.com/politics/bs…

Honestly traffic enforcement is too important to society to entrust with the cops

I have no problem acknowledging that single parenthood comes with challenges, but we should also acknowledge that the extent to which is causes post-tax/transfer poverty is a policy choice, not an immutable reality
“We are often reluctant to acknowledge one of the significant drivers of child poverty — the widespread breakdown of family — for fear that to do so would be patronizing or racist,” writes @NickKristof. nyti.ms/3PCeNQv

Nice work, @Sen_JoeManchin !

No one objects to bulletproof vehicles. It's about turrets and battering rams. It's about the mindset, on both sides, when a vehicle designed for a battlefield rolls through the neighborhood.
Protection is great. Intentional intimidation is a problem.

2nd time in about a year our armored SWAT vehicle has shielded our brave operators from gunfire.
Please keep us in mind the next time some lunatic starts in with the "militarized police" with "tanks" routine.
Thank you 🙏🏼

There are many great California concepts that should be exported nationally (eg zero-emission vehicle standards).
But the CA fetish of providing lavish incentives to biomethane sources like dairies is not one of them. I hope the feds realize that CA has this completely wrong.
The Inflation Reduction Act could lay the groundwork for the mass production of green hydrogen, or the law’s hundreds of billions of dollars could be diverted into what critics call a massive potential greenwashing scheme. bit.ly/3P5I7hS

Again, every QI case proposes that public employees are the stupidest people to ever exist.
🚨HUGE #FirstAmendment and #QualifiedImmunity win for @IJ (@benjaminafield, CG Brothers)!
In Bailey v. Iles, 5th Cir. holds that the arrest of a man on terrorism charges for a zombie joke he posted on Facebook violated clearly established 1A and 4A rights.
QI REVERSED. 1/

When they ask about the homeless crisis every Republican says “more cops” and none of them say “build more housing.” The left needs to be unified on “build more housing.” This is a gimme. Stop arguing over this please.

I always think it’s worth emphasizing as people process these stories that “six weeks” means ~two weeks or less relative to when a person actually knows she’s pregnant, it’s not a six week decision window. – at Maine, USA

I’m not a fan of crime, which is why I think we should put homeless people into housing

I think it’s good YIMBYs are sticking up for building homeless shelters - if they didn’t, they wouldn’t deserve the name. There is no more moral imperative for a housing advocacy movement than to get everyone in housing

Every once in a while I'm reminded that dnsmasq, a lightweight DNS and DHCP server that's bundled into *almost every IOT thing and Linux distro*, is a hobby project maintained by one guy in the UK named Simon.
Nobody pays him and he doesn't get near the thanks he deserves.

The proposed policy to “out” transgender youth at Orange Unified School District is a step in the wrong direction and a political stunt. At a time when anti-LGBTQ hate is on the rise, schools should focus on measures to stop bullying and give LGBTQ kids the support they deserve.

developers are the absolute wrong people to ask for sponsorships here. the companies that employ the developers are the ones to ask. they're the ones that profit off of the OSS work

PPP was clearly the worst of the big three aid programs. I think the approach was well justified given administrative constraints, but if you had to cut somewhere, that'd be the place nber.org/system/files/workin…

Feeling like the police raiding a local town newspaper might have been a strategic mistake now that millions of people across the country know some restaurant owner named Kari Newell desperately didn’t want people to know about her DUI
An entire small-town police department in Kansas raided a newspaper's offices and its reporters' homes because the paper got a tip about a well-connected person's DUI

🚨Following Chino Valley’s lead, Orange Unified is trying to add a parent notification policy targeting LGBTQ+ students by notifying parents if student uses a name different than birth certificate at school or socially identifies as a gender different than birth or non-binary.
OMFG! Chino Valley Unified board President Sonia Shaw just kicked Tony Thurmond, California State Superintendent of Schools, out of their board meeting.
CVUSD is trying to pass a controversial policy to notify parents if a student identifies as transgender.

When generally good, smart people said dumb shit before social media and cameras everywhere, usually the rest of us would not even find out about it.
Speaking on a World Economic Forum panel, UN "Messenger of Peace", Jane Goodall, advocates reducing the global population down to 450 million—a 95% reduction from today's population:
"We cannot hide away from human population growth. Because, you know, it underlies so many of the other problems. All these things we talk about wouldn't be a problem if there was the size of population that there was 500 years ago."
