I’m not blaming Will for the insanity he seems to induce in some people, he’s (mostly) not trolling just saying stuff he believes, but if he legit just blocked assholes for a few days it would also largely subside. I’m not sure why he refuses to do that but he refused the same on Twitter

Education is a pretty strong correlation pretty much everywhere but the correlation exists for men as well as women and if you look at the drop in fertility over the last like 30 years it’s almost entirely because we’ve dropped teen pregnancy nearly to zero

Also all of those things can be done with a bare majority in Congress and a willing White House. What we cannot have is the dithering of current Democratic leadership.

The very first priorities for any incoming Democratic admin has to be to expand the Supreme Court, add PR and DC as states, ban partisan gerrymandering, and increase the number of House seats. That allows you to start fixing the damage without it immediately crumbling.

if people yell at you for advocating "moderation" on trans rights on Bluesky but not on Twitter the reason for that might be because Elon Musk, the guy who runs and owns Twitter, explicitly censored trans people's accounts and posts.

One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.

Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
