    "'Democrats,' the party explained in its platform that year, 'believe we must embed environmental justice, economic justice, and climate justice at the heart of our policy and governing agenda.' For good measure, the platform also included a reproductive justice section and separately pledged to 'embed racial justice in every element of our governing agenda.' Defense of the justice system’s integrity somehow necessitated constant efforts at delegitimizing the Supreme Court. "Such agendas produce neither liberty nor justice, only social corrosion that leaves both further from reach and Americans worse off as a result. In a country where the powerful assert that anything goes and that government must merely get out of the way, the public institutions and public virtue necessary to a healthy republic fall by the wayside, and only the powerful find themselves free. 'Public Virtue is the only Foundation of Republics,' said John Adams. 'There must be a positive Passion for the public good, the public Interest, Honour, Power, and Glory, established in the Minds of the People, or there can be no Republican Government, nor any real Liberty.'” @oren_cass on the danger of both parties abandoning a positive vision of citizenship ahead of the midterms.

    RT @ACC_National: Nearly two decades of modern climate politics has produced one durable result: Most Americans stopped listening. Conservatives now have an opportunity to build something better. The coalition that centered climate change as the crisis worth organizing over no longer commands the electorate. There is little to show for the billions of dollars and a decade of their near-total institutional capture. Even among Democrats, climate change now ranks near the bottom of priorities voters want solved by Washington. The era of the climate hawk is over, leaving behind it a vacuum. @ChrisBarnardDL for @commonplc

    RT @michaelbd: I used to think American voting needed a reform. Then I looked more closely at the virtues of voting the American way.

    RT @DanielMKishi: Manufacturing construction spending remains more than twice its pre-pandemic level in nominal terms.
    John Carney @carney
    Oh look. I found a failure already. Manufacturing construction spending described as being in a “free fall” when it is far above prepandemic trend and no reference to subsidies. And, guess what? Cato dude loves it.

    RT @WaywardRabbler: This is a very well-done look at the human situation in Springfield Ohio that is fair to everyone involved. It's notable though, as ever, that globalism ships the factory overseas and then ships migrants to the post-industrial town and wants you to be glad someone has moved in

    "The fall was great, because the town was great. "Michael Morris, who was born here and stayed, is driving my husband David and I around a barren area that used to be the working-class neighborhoods of Springfield, Ohio. He describes a thriving place where people could walk to work and to church, leave their doors unlocked because they knew their neighbors, get a drink with friends at the bar on the corner. 'They didn’t live elaborately,' he says, 'but they took care of things.' The rows of mansions on a nearby street indicate a socioeconomic integration that drove investment in a shared physical place. "Now, there are dilapidated houses, boarded-up windows, grime. The remains of bygone industry—piles of broken concrete, sagging buildings among weeds—run parallel to the railroad track in long stretches. As Michael points and narrates, there’s something about it that feels a bit like a crime scene investigation: what happened?" @AmberLappOH reports from Springfield, Ohio, following the end of TPS for Haitian immigrants.

    RT @DrewHolden360: This reported piece by @AmberLappOH is the most incisive reporting I can remember reading. It’s about what’s happened to Springfield, Ohio, tied to the end of TPS for Haitian immigrants, and after most of the world moved on from the city’s election-season attention. @commonplc

    RT @oren_cass: Spectacular reporting from @AmberLappOH on Springfield Ohio. Hard to pick a favorite line, but I'll go with: "The rows of mansions on a nearby street indicate a socioeconomic integration that drove investment in a shared physical place."
