Still can’t get over the fact that an editor of the Financial Times said that we need to do away with #capitalism in order to deal with the #climate. If that’s not a sign of mainstream economics/finance finally waking up to the reality of the situation we’re in, I don’t now what is.
The Alabama government’s briefs before the three-judge panel in September referenced a concurring opinion by #Kavanaugh that questioned whether “race-based redistricting” can “extend indefinitely into the future.”
Alabama further relied on arguments — also rejected by the U.S. District Court — that a subsequent U.S. Supreme Court decision this same term ending affirmative action in college admissions (called Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard ) compels the Court to find that a state’s use of a map in which “race predominates” now violates the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection. As in Milligan, Kavanaugh filed a concurrence in Students for Fair Admissions, emphasizing the potential for #time#limits on race-related policies.
In addition, there now appears to be a significant connection between Alabama’s post-Milligan map redrawing process, #Leo’s powerful national dark money network, and Kavanaugh.
The tangled web of previously unreported ties centers around #Marshall, Alabama Solicitor General Edmond #LaCour — dubbed “the architect behind Alabama’s voting rights defiance” — and the D.C.-area law firm #ConsovoyMcCarthy, the firm founded by William #Consovoy, a now-deceased former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas who represented Shelby County in Shelby County v. Holder.
In Shelby County, the Supreme Court invalidated Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act and its vital preclearance provision, which protected against unilateral state changes to voting rights and maps in states that had a documented history of racial bias in administering elections in order to disenfranchise Black voters. #LeonardLeo#scotus#darkmoney#clarencethomas#FedSoc#ShelbyCountyVsHolder#VotingRightsAct#racebased#affirmativeaction
#map (1/2) The Marshall Island stick chart are not "maps" in the European sense of the word. Here, there's no question of "realism" of representation; the visualization of space is purely subjective, and the data represented focuses solely on the refraction, reflection and diffraction of a swell, which are presented by curved sticks, while horizontal and vertical sticks serve as support. Islands are symbolized by shells. Wave crests may also be present.

oh man so somebody fell on hard times -- walked by the pawn shop, there's a rather nice (epiphone) les paul for way too much money in the window next to a really nice marshall (for way too little money). seriously, though, i just bought an amp yesterday for good money off somebody, if i didn't, i'd be very seriously considering storming in there and getting it, it's criminally underpriced unless it's either broken or not what it looks like. #guitar#amp#marshall
The Marshall Tucker band "running like the wind" test press vinyl. Pretty cool find, i think. One of my favorite bands.
