Dolan is good on immigration, but otherwise a monster.

When archbishop of Milwaukee, Dolan hid $57m in church assets to minimize potential damages in sex abuse cases.

Later, he lobbied against a bill in NY state to extended the statute of limitations in CSA cases.

"You don’t need big muscles or creatine, and you certainly don’t need to get surgery to gain an extra few inches of height because you’d rather have metal implants in your legs than be 5′4″. All you really need is a curious mind and military-level access to high-powered explosives."

We really do need to hammer home reducing police budgets and using them to bolster teacher salaries immediately. The fact we have these massive goon squads playing candy crush all day at their jobs meanwhile teachers are having to get second incomes is frankly embarrassing as a rich country.

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

those three things are all just gambling?? so you're arguing that we need to champion young men gambling (in several different ways) because...their financial prospects are bad?

do you think the lottery is good anti-poverty policy? have you experienced a conscious thought since 2017?

JD Vance Is Awfully Close With These Race Science Guys Government data is being used to normalize and mainstream race science

JD Vance's online buddies are using data from NIH studies to advance and normalize race science and no one seems to care. I'm losing my mind.

Our new episode is now out for all listeners! In this tribute to Knowledge Fight, Sarah and Helen go through an episode of notorious neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes's show, and find out he's locked in a Freudian cycle of abuse and disgust with his own fans.

This is what neo-royalism looks like. Foreign policy driven by the interests of personalist leaders rather than national interests.

Now U.S. has closed two embassies in Mideast & told Americans in 14 countries to leave. But most airspace is shut down, there are no flights. Reading about people from around the world stranded.

Why are they only now telling Americans to leave? No planning, they weren’t expecting it to spiral.

New England cherishes its local elections—but many disabled voters are locked out “It's a really heartbreaking example of who gets left behind in systems that are not built for everyone.”

For a few hundred years, towns across New England have conducted Town Meeting Days via floor votes, which can be inaccessible to disabled people. This situation shows how accessibility and tradition can go head-to-head. My latest for @motherjones.com.

The Politics of Wildlife Protection At the latest Washington Convention meeting in Uzbekistan, countries, conservationists, NGOs and traders negotiated over the fate of the world’s endangered animals
