@lukacsy@tedlieu Moreover, the Constitution also gives power over the SC to regulate its appellate functions. “Jurisdiction stripping” allows Congress to remove appellate jurisdiction over whole areas of law. So it’s not entirely true that Congress doesn’t have a role in regulating the SC.
@lukacsy@tedlieu You are conflating two things. Actually the Constitution does not explicitly give the SC the power of judicial review. After Marbury it is the “doctrine,” essentially the role of the SC. However, this is not the same thing as regulating the court’s ethics practices.
@jwilsonscott@mattyglesias Aren’t cultural changes to language natural? Can you imagine having a state controlled ministry of language in the US like the French and Spanish do? I also don’t think that the US is the only place where Latinx is a thing.
@mattyglesias It’s hard to discuss and analyze concepts like this when the process of academia systematically analyzing its impacts on our society our being censored in many places. I guess some will be resigned to accept the State’s interpretation. But that would also be a construct…😲
@GCapital_LLC @krassenstein I had a friend that had four natural abortions when her body rejected her first trimester fetuses. I suppose we could extend your argument to say that her body (or nature, God?) didn’t respect life either.
Twenty-four hours after appearing with Elon Musk to announce his campaign for president, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just signed a bill into law that will shield Musk's SpaceX and other private space companies from negligence lawsuits after an explosion or a crash.
@chrislhayes Anyone thinking that DeSantis’ policies of empowering parents to ban books is a good idea. should prepare for the publishing industry to release a whole catalog of sanitized materials for schools to buy as they fleece the whining taxpayers with overpriced “safe books.”
@PConPolitics@krassenstein For the most part, we are them, and we keep supporting this dysfunctional system because it makes us feel powerful to point fingers and absolve ourselves from any responsibility.
@krassenstein DeSantis has successfully shifted the argument towards white victimization. The reality that for most of my 47 years, social sciences were taught with significant biases that were favorable towards whites , males, American Gov propaganda all seems to be lost on a lot of people.
@RizzardT @AMprefersPM@Millercat123 @undeadben @chrislhayes Yeah, who needs public education…wtf? Why would we want an educated population? Don’t you realize that most public education is funded through the states?
@EdKrassen Somewhere we went from providing basic nutritional food support to people being pissed if their kid doesn’t get their favorite food. If they want to pay for it, let them buy chocolate milk. BTW, kids are throwing away shocking amounts of food now, much of it in plastic bags too
It turns out that some enterprising individuals are purchasing blue checks on Twitter and then uploading hundreds of videos, up to two hours long.
This data storage cost vastly exceeds the revenue Musk receives from those accounts for their Twitter Blue subscription.
@RonFilipkowski The fact that he can only cite Frederick Douglass in this discussion IS the reason. Curricular materials have consistently neglected minority groups and treat the inclusion of a few token people as evidence that they are teaching a broad spectrum of history.
@RonFilipkowski I don’t think younger people quite realize how common it was to go over to other people’s houses & see playboy magazines or the playboy channel. Or to go to gas stations & bookstores & see those magazines. They were quite ubiquitous & now are basically a relic from the past.
@ChrisCoble@RonFilipkowski Isn’t having fewer average kids a sign of increased wealth and prosperity in a society? I thought was a common economic phenomenon.
