My paper is now live in Social Sciences & Humanities Open: “Attachment Dysregulation and Political Identity: A Developmental Framework for Understanding Ideological Fusion” It asks when political identity becomes more than belief or group membership and starts doing emotional regulation work. The paper is the framework. The next step is testing whether PER can actually be measured. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@GuntherEagleman Funny how “color-blind” always seems to mean everyone should stop noticing race right after the mapmakers finish using it.

Pete, the Supreme Court just said you can’t draw districts based on race anymore. Sorry your favorite racial gerrymandering scheme is getting shut down. The Constitution is color-blind, Democrats just hate that it applies to everyone. Keep crying about “Black political power” while pretending your party hasn’t been the one locking people into race-based maps for decades. 😂🇺🇸
Pete Buttigieg@PeteButtigieg

The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power. We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.

@krassenstein Spending nearly $15 million to make the Reflecting Pool stop looking like a pond, only for it to immediately start looking like a pond again, is almost too perfect.

This is not a joke. This is actually the reflecting Pool in Washington DC today. Donald Trump wasted $10 million of our money on this. No wonder why he bankrupted multiple casinos.

@Acyn Trump keeps treating oversight like disrespect. That’s the whole problem. Congress isn’t there to make the president feel obeyed.

Jamie Raskin responds to Trump calling for his expulsion: We don’t quite know exactly what triggered him, but it was a rough week for the president in the Judiciary Committee. Maybe he’s got Raskin Derangement Syndrome or something. Bottom line: We’re doing our job. We’re on the front lines of this struggle against corruption and authoritarianism, and we’re not going to be deterred. This is not middle school, where he thinks he can expel someone for questioning his authority.

@jk_rowling At some point “there were no signs” has to survive the part where the signs had receipts.

She couldn't have known. There were no signs. Nothing out of the ordinary happened right in front of her. What husband wouldn't shell out £4k for a pair of his wife's old shoes? Happens every day. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

@thejackhopkins Delay is not neutral. If you can act first, litigate later, and turn the temporary move into precedent, the calendar becomes part of the strategy.

Most people are watching Trump. I’m watching the calendar. The first wave of Trump 2.0 battles is only now reaching the Supreme Court. Orientation matters: power isn’t exercised only through elections. It’s exercised through courts…timelines…precedents…and institutional leverage.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. While working people struggle to get by, the billionaire class is becoming the TRILLIONAIRE class. It's disgusting. I'm fighting to tax the rich so we stop rewarding trading stocks over punching clocks.

@TheAtlantic @ables_kelsey A presidential center can inspire people. The risk is when public memory starts feeling more like a curated brand experience than a record people can argue with.

@scarylawyerguy The flattery is the policy now. The job is not to explain what happened. It’s to make the boss feel like history already agrees with him.

@NewYorker This is the time-horizon problem. A country can get stuck when the people with the most power are also the least exposed to the future they’re choosing.

More Americans are living longer, staying healthier, and getting much wealthier as they age. As a result, a new book argues, the country’s fate is being determined not by forward-looking young people but by backward-looking elderly ones. newyorker.com/culture/open-q…

@ComicDaveSmith Nobody serious is saying you can’t describe individual conduct. The question is whether you’re describing the conduct or using it to smuggle in a story about the whole group.

What helps most right now: honest answers, plus noticing if anything feels confusing, repetitive, too vague, or longer than the time estimate. This is a soft launch, so catching rough edges is the point.

@washingtonpost The scary part is that the warning sign is not always “everything gets hotter.” Sometimes it’s one place staying weirdly cold because the whole system is changing around it.

An unusual cold patch of water in the North Atlantic could signal changes in a key ocean current, which would have sweeping consequences for climate. This blob is occurring in one of the few areas where the ocean hasn’t warmed in recent decades. wapo.st/4eFPcna
