Here's what Lessig said to me that I found so troubling: ttps://open.substack.com/pub/ciaratorresspelliscy/p/democracy-and-destiny-with-ciara?r=nggi&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Could This Supreme Court Restrain Trump Even if It Wanted? If it resists and is ignored, it will have weakened the institution for generations. But if it doesn’t resist this remaking now, when could it?

As Trump amends the constitutional power of the President, what's a court to do?

We lost in the district court, but with an opinion that will show the court of appeals why SuperPACs are not compelled by Citizens United. Even in looney times, like Looney Tunes cartoons, eventually, gravity returns.

The foundation to the doctrine that gave us SuperPACs is gone!

Opinion | Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car China’s national champion carmaker BYD embodies a state-led industrial model that America may no longer be able to compete with.

About to fly back after 10 days in China. The cars are amazing, no doubt. But this is about much more than cars.

In China, they have "proxy drivers." When you've driven to an event and then drink, you can use an Uber-like app to order a "proxy driver." The driver rides a foldable bike to you, puts his/her bike in your car, drives you home, then rides away on the bike. #supercool

Very proud of the anti-corruption work my congressman, @repauchincloss.bsky.social, presses here against RFK Jr. Jake represents the district where RFK's uncle was born.

Because America does need another party that bends to the whim of billionaires.

Trump’s justice department issues directive to strip naturalized Americans of citizenship for criminal offenses Memo says those subjected to civil proceedings are not entitled to an attorney like they are in criminal cases

I wonder which prominent naturalized Americans this could be applied to? (if one is willing to lose advertisers for free speech, what about one's citizenship?)

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

8 Things You Should Know About Trump's Strikes on Iran America’s addiction to military intervention in the Middle East is a stubborn habit to break for our nation, and it’s heartbreaking.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is dead on right about the corruption. Here too about America's perpetual thirst for war. Lawless domestically, lawless internationally.

Senate parliamentarian greenlights state AI law freeze in GOP megabill Both parties made their arguments before the parliamentarian Thursday.

This 10-year moratorium on AI regulation brings #TedCruzStupidity to a new level of insanity. The most consequential new technology in a generation is not, and will not be, regulated for a decade. What could possibly go wrong?

Celebrate agreement with those who worked hardest to make Trump President: War with Iran would be a catastrophic mistake.

While we're waiting to learn whether Americans will die in a war on Iran, let's not forget the Americans who are going to die from our war on science.

Opinion | This Is What Makes Protests Successful

In societies that have a reasonably free press, a persuadable bloc of citizens and free and fair elections, the evidence shows that movements are most effective when they remain nonviolent and build broad coalitions.

It is impossible not to read this in conjunction with the Supreme Court's heartrbreaking, awful decision in Skrmetti allowing states to deny transgender teens the health care they need.
