The challenge today is that allegiance too often precedes morality. We haven’t lost our sense of right and wrong. We’ve started assigning it based on who is speaking, not what is true. We need to shift from identity centered allegiance to principle centered citizenship.

This, from Ezra Klein, is well-said. It’s also a literal billboard for @TangleNews

the vibe is amazing

Enjoyed the conversation and getting to share the mayor mindset with the @Fwd_Party power trio.

They found a community that felt like home and classrooms that encouraged them to grow. Kacey Robins Carnegie ’04 and Lily Franklin ’15 share how their time in Farmville shaped the way they now serve. 👉 longwood.edu/news/2026/hous…

This is gold.

In Richmond (Va.) for the next 36 hours. Where should I eat? Coffee? Thanks in advance!

Feel exhausted by the noise, but still believe something better is possible, then let’s build it. We will not cede ground to cynicism or performance. It’s time to champion integrity, wisdom, responsibility, and the common good. Hold the line. Advance the Standard.

Karma is finally coming for Meta, through the legal system. As we await a verdict in Los Angeles on whether social media platforms were designed to addict young people, it's important to note that TWO courts have already ruled against Meta in the past month. 1) Yesterday, a jury in New Mexico established that Meta's platforms are not safe for kids, and that their design enabled the exploitation of children. This is a watershed moment: This is the FIRST time a jury has evaluated the evidence. The evidence was so compelling that the jury said Meta should pay $375 million dollars in civil penalties for the harms it has caused to New Mexico and its citizens. See here: theguardian.com/technology/202… 2. But it gets worse for Meta: a few weeks ago, in Delaware, a court ruled that Meta's insurance companies do not have a duty to defend Meta or cover its costs in the thousands of lawsuits playing out in California because, under California law, if a company caused harm through "intentional acts" rather than accidentally, the insurers have no obligation to defend that company. Because the documents brought out in the NM and LA trials show intentional actions, Meta loses insurance coverage. That's what the insurance companies asserted, and the judge agreed with them. See here: insurancejournal.com/magazines/mag-… Because of these two rulings, the legal and political landscape has changed dramatically. Going forward, social media companies will be judged like any other company whose product design decisions harm children. These two rulings mark a profound shift toward accountability. The legal system is beginning to catch up to what parents have known all along. Many parents are now more likely to get justice for what these platforms have been doing to children for many years.

BREAKING: In a landmark decision, a jury found Meta and YouTube negligent for designing apps that harmed kids and teens and failed to warn them about the dangers. abcnews.link/7bWxCn5

@pmarca Marcus Aurelius

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

@NormOrnstein I live in Virginia and serve in Virginia. My concern is about Virginia. And in the piece I state, “If we believe partisan gerrymandering undermines public trust, then it undermines it everywhere.” covers Texas

I looked over and over to see if you had done the same thing for Texas. Can’t find it.
