From David Sirota on Twitter: Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered. LeverNews.com/book Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310 (2010) This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy.

you can fix it by not applying, unless they really do offer your absolute dream job.

(2) As well as that, for the first time since 1990, the maps were redrawn and the number of parliamentary seats reduced. it's not inertia, it's that the elections are not fair and haven't been so ever since 2011, or rather 2014, the first election after the changes went into effect

the fidesz majority parliament revised hungary's election system in 2011 ensuring that the highest performing party's wins get rewarded with even more mandates than the proportion of actual votes (actual seats in Parliament).

African Americans did not immigrate to the US either

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Oh, got it. Aubin and Wills used to have womenswear but they stopped at some point which is such a shame because their garments were an absolute delight. I still don't know what would be a good substitute brand for women.

I'm just glad I see you listed The Lives of Others. It's great cinema on so many levels and not least because it's about the truth of living in a dictatorship: it corrupts us all.

rugby shirts are unisex, i think.

it was great to hear Harry Siegel on the podcast! It felt like a mashup episode between the Focus Group and FAQ NYC. thank you

A legislature dealing with a shortage of houses, such as exists when this is written, illustrates this rule, first by doing nothing to increase the number of houses, second by smiting the greedy landlord on the hip, third by investigating the profiteering builders and working men. For a constructive policy deals with remote and uninteresting factors, while a greedy landlord, or a profiteering plumber is visible and immediate.

displaced, not killed.

Naksa - Wikipedia

wikipedia does not know about "hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were killed and expelled from their homes" in the 6-day War. What is your source? did you check en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naksa? because there is no mention of the scale of killings you're claiming have happened.

whenever i see cladding i think of grenfell tower

I wonder if Trump will try to fire the new Pope.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?
