It also requires the subject to focus a lot of their time on defending themselves publicly and would be a daily messaging coup because it would be a top story.

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

Great speech, but are you going to have those agents arrested or not?

I can't believe that it needs to be said that attacking a politician who is a defense attorney by going after his clients is so far past the line you've left the realm of geometry.

For ten effing years I and hundreds of other formerly incarcerated Minnesotans worked to restore voting rights to people living in the community. The message was always rooted in inclusion, in the idea that people are not disposable, and that our past does not define who we are...

wtaf. can the dfl ever just not be shortsighted and shallow? imagine where mn would be if there was a competent opposition party that could field actually competitive statewide candidates.

Felony disenfranchisement proponents (and, frankly, a lot of advocates) assume that restoring voting rights to ppl with felony records would overwhelmingly benefit the Dem Party. In a new paper in JQ, my colleagues and I see whether that assumption holds water. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I also just got a similar text from ol' Angie. She addressed me as "Friend"--if we were really friends, she'd know my name!

Fascinating project and finding!

Very much looking forward to this event in NYC with @finesandfeesjc.bsky.social. Please join us in person or online for a spirited discussion about Legal Plunder. cc/ @joesoss.bsky.social

I feel awful for the woman who has or will be learning some fucked up stuff about stuff that happened with her career in 2018. And start questioning even more than she was before.

Setting aside the meaninglessness of this, I'm surprised he included those who took pleas.

This was my thought as well (or maybe my hope!)

Most semesters I try to find a current trial for my "Courts and Sentencing" undergrads to watch and write a paper about. I wish US v Sandwich Guy would have been livestreamed because this definitely would have been it.

The newsmax guy in the middle with the millennial erasure.

Are people deliberately using "totenkopf" to sound smart, or am I just ignorant? I have never in my life heard that word before today. I do, however, know what the "death's head" is and have known several people with death's head tattoos/paraphernalia. By and large they weren't great people.

Janeway was right on Tuvix.

Just over here thinking about the study design, methodology, and IRB necessary to make that first 50% statement...

I really have to question the advice Puff Daddy is getting from his lawyers. I just don't see this kind of thing making a difference for a judge, especially when he hasn't acknowledged responsibility for anything.

New! 2 assistant research professor positions now open with Jordan Hyatt & team at Drexel to help lead, manage, coordinate & support projects on prison conditions, Scandinavian justice, legal financial obligations, sentencing, autism, & housing. Details: careers.drexel.edu/cw/en-us/job...

The STFU PAC? Ok take my money

jk

my favorite is learning the hard way (every time) that detailed commit descriptions are actually worthwhile.

I understand that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell.

i just ran a reshape wide and it worked the first time. #iykyk

define "effectively"

first ballot results!!! Omar Fateh received 43.85%, Jacob Frey received 31.54%, DeWayne Davis received 19.93%, Jazz Hampton received 3.99%, Brenda Short received 0.35%

be still, my heart

She's posting this like it's a win.

This is where I'm at. Everything up to this point has been terrible, but this seems different. This court knows exactly what it's doing (or not doing), yet it signs off on a cataclysmic change in violation of law and precedent with no explanation. Not sure how we come back.

My university apparently has a contract with Pepsi, and it's the worst. The worst.

The congressman who represents my hometown district in southern MN wants to know what Canada plans to do to control the smoke from their wildfires so it doesn't put a damper on Minnesota's cabin season. It's entitlement and grievance all the way down.

This is exquisite. And embarrassing.

Bourdieu strikes again! Now I need to see @veronicalhorowitz.bsky.social's! www.idrlabs.com/food-choice/...

Most people would be shocked by how much personal data is available on these "people search" sites. For a small fee, they readily provide info such as home addresses, phone numbers, social media profiles, property records, voting records, family info, and (often inaccurate) criminal history records.

These people base their entire identities and ideologies around a book they clearly never read and obviously don't understand. They just cherrypick confirmatory quotes and interpret it through a 21st century lens. Looking forward to the next @maklelan.bsky.social video on it

Maybe it’s just the bottom sheet from a stack of like 12 sheets of carbon copy paper??

People risked COVID to come together in 2020. They're gonna do it. Please keep them safe.

Quick reminder to the armchair analysists out there speculating over little #mnlege floor charts: Knock it off, you absolute goblins. The legislative year just ended. A seat is the least important thing Minnesota lost to a bullet today.

Evergreen. We tend to fill in the immediate unknown by making these events conform to our priors. Be responsible and wait for more information. (Already seeing lots of non-Minnesota ppl speculate that this was to upset the #mnleg partisan balance, but session is over until next year)

Brooklyn Park and Champlin are basically the same place.

lol the smug dunk “you’re saying it’s not politically motivated, you squish, you rube.” No one is saying it isn’t. Minnesotans are telling you to wait before leaning into your “designed to change the balance of the lege” thing that was posted by some rando who doesn’t understand the MN lege.

I spilled a beer on Carrot Top.

Don't just talk about it, be about it.

This is what I do. I have an upper-level class that includes writing several analytical op-eds through the semester, and I've been requiring they use Google docs for the last year. It's worked really well, though I sometimes have to remind them to share them with editor permissions.

Is there a worse primary antagonist than the Kazon? Just dull.

The federal bench continues to bend over backwards, showing heretofore unknown levels of deference to the government. DOJ/ICE has brazenly defied the courts time and time and time again, and still these judges are like, "Oh, they learned their lesson this time." They have not learned their lesson.

This entire administration is stacked with Dunning-Kruger examplars from top to bottom.
