What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.
I broke it down here:

What the fuck is happening I feel like I’m going insane. How is any of this real?

God this is all so awful. And I’m seeing stuff that says U.S. casualties are much higher than reported but I don’t know what to believe.
It’s cliche but I was so angry about the Iraq war and it completely reshaped my politics and this still seems inconceivably 10x more outrageous than that.
In the midst of all this awfulness listen to this beautiful and insightful reflection on the role of storytelling and the privilege of being a storyteller (particularly a commercially successful one) from one of the greatest actors around.

More evidence that there will be a landslide in November, which is all the more reason why we should not compromise our principles in Virginia. We worked hard to get non partisan districting in the very recent past and we don’t need to abandon that to win the this.

“This matters to real people,” said Kareem Crayton, a lawyer and scholar for the Brennan Center for Justice. “If all of those settled understandings about who is responsible to you, who is accountable to you, are thrown into doubt, that’s not good for our democratic system.”

Anti-fascism should have broad support across the American political spectrum. Elections need to be defended. Here's an open letter from retired professors at HBS in which we call for business leaders to address that need.

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.
As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos.
When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
The state of the union address was like 72 hours before the US and Israel chose to attack Iran’s capital and call for regime change, and Trump did not even mention his policy toward Iran before Congress, much less ask for a declaration of war.

Hard news to get at the end of a hard week: Joe Cordes has passed away. He supervised my capstone project as an MPP student at GWU and supported me when I started teaching cost-benefit analysis there six years ago. Joe was always enthusiastic, friendly, and insightful.

I think some sort of AI bubble clearly exists. It’ll be important and disruptive tech but that doesn’t mean it’s not a bubble.
What’s interesting is that because it’s a bubble built around the narrative of massive layoffs, the bubble popping may initially look like the narrative being fulfilled.

So many things we garden are either “this originated in the Mediterranean” or “this originated in the Andes,” which seems weird right?
Like, we make it work but I have neither a Mediterranean nor an Andean climate and those two produce really great stuff apparently.
