Oh, okay. I'll bite. The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution. The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.

The other takeaway from that Super Bowl broadcast, for me, was that betting apps are the tobacco companies of the 21st century: Supercharging self-destructive behavior via lobbying and psychological/content manipulation.

Watched the halftime show. I guess where I fundamentally depart from MAGA is that, when I see something like this, celebrating a culture that's not quite mine, with some references I don't get, something that's not For Me ... I *like* it. I like seeing inside other worlds. Why wouldn't you?

Attached is the 53 pg legal memo sent to Alex Acosta in early 2007 detailing the scope of the federal charges the DOJ wanted to bring against Epstein, incl that he was considered an extreme flight risk. And with the snap of his fingers, Acosta made it all go away.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.
