🚨NEW @IJ CASE🚨 On Christmas Eve 2022, Jennifer Heath Box was arrested while getting off a cruise ship. But cops ignored obvious evidence they were arresting the wrong person. Still, she spent 3 days in jail and missed Christmas with her kids. Today, we sued🧵
So, the Jones Act "protects" an industry that basically doesn't exist, makes shipping from U.S. port to U.S. port more expensive, and slows our ability to get aid to Americans when disasters hit. Cool!
At what point does protectionism for an industry that basically does not exist but imposes massive costs on others become politically unsustainable? We haven't hit it yet, apparently! (From @EBGresser)
Ah, so that's what the money Josh Harris has been saving by keeping the Sixers under the luxury tax has gone toward. Sell the Sixers, Josh.
Commanders unveiled their new locker room today. They previously scored an “F” on the NFLPA locker room report card. Ownership invested to upgrade the space. Here it is:
Protests in Ukraine, even during the wartime, prove one thing: we are a true democracy. This is something russia will never be able to dream of.
Russia is totally not interested in any territorial conquest beyond Ukraine.

I think this is probably attributable to two things: 1) A lot of people go through a commie phase when they're young 2) They know fewer people whose lives were ruined by communism than someone like me whose grandparents left communist Poland.
Survey data showing a surge in popularity for communism among young people. Note that this is not the usual euphemism of "democratic socialism." It is just plain communism, of the Soviet variety.
BIG WIN: An Indiana court granted class certification today in IJ’s challenge to the State’s abusive civil forfeiture practices. We get to argue that several hundred cash forfeitures are unconstitutional.
The way that Teachout's terrible NYT op-ed was aggressively mocked, the disappearance of MMT, the YIMBY's understanding deeply the costs of regulation, tariffs losing all support on the left... It feels to me neoliberalism is gaining steam on the left

Seems bad that police departments that are signing contracts for automatic license plate reader cameras have no idea if they're sharing millions of records with other departments or not! centralcurrent.org/a-simple-step-…
That was an absolute masterclass
ANOTHER COMPLETE GAME FOR CRISTOPHER SÁNCHEZ! #RingTheBell
I’ll say it once again — in reality, Ukraine as a state and as a nation is fighting two major wars at the same time. The first is, of course, Russia’s full-scale invasion. The second is the internal war of Ukrainian civil society against the dark side of its own state. Against…
