Welcome to hell, where some humans actually believe that something that looks nothing like an “email” from any modern messaging medium that has ever existed is a “smoking gun” revealing a conspiracy that never happened. Hop along and get us the Epstein Files, @FBIDirectorKash.
Biden needs to stop hiding behind imaginary protocols that he made up for the occasion, grow a pair (of labia), and just ratify the damned ERA. Read the article. It’s worth being as enraged as I am about how fucking simple this could be if we could commit to women’s equality. 🤬

Alito’s draft heavily references English legal precedent, including that of famed jurist Sir Matthew Hale who, it should be noted, had at least two women executed for witchcraft and wrote a treatise supporting marital rape
According to the @nytimes, "Chief Justice Urges Inquiry, Calling Leak an ‘Egregious Breach’ of Trust." What's that about an "egregious breach of trust?" every thinking American woman asks. nytimes.com/live/2022/05/03/…

50 senators could preempt this decision tomorrow by ending the filibuster and enacting the Women's Health Protection Act.
Here's the thing: when Alito says, "And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate," he misunderstands something fundamental about democracy.
Because democracy is an unfinished project. And that's a good thing. If it weren't, it wouldn't be democracy. It would be something else: could be fascism or monarchy or oligarchy. But it wouldn't be democracy.
What Alito does clearly remind us, though, is that the Supreme Court is not a democratic institution. At best, it's oligarchic. And even at its best, it is currently posing a threat to our democracy. #expandthecourt

Storycast was pretty intense this week! Fitting after an emotionally challenging episode of #MoonKnight.

Never a dull moment when talking James Bond, Allan Quartermain (the OG Indiana Jones), Max Weber, Shirley Jackson, New Zealanders fighting for more inclusive science education, John Carpenter, Orson Welles and more! Check out our latest on this week's episode of Moon Knight!
What do the cult of Ammit, Marc Spector, and western science have in common?
They are all, in their way, hamstrung by blind faith. And the third ep of #MoonKnight interrogates them all!

#MoonKnight is here (***SPOILERS***) and so is our Storycast analysis!
MK's first ep asks: what exactly *defines* our identity? Is it our sense of self? Our job? Our actions? A god?
@AmandaMarcotte, @MaeveAdams, and @MarcFaletti get into it:

Friends, this is a brilliant and beautiful piece of digital criticism. @egabbert, could you say more about how this was built, technically speaking?
Good morning! I wrote a Close Read feature on a poem I've always loved, Auden's "Musee des Beaux Arts." This was an experience to write and I hope it will be an experience for you to read nytimes.com/interactive/2022…
