The last few years have been a mess, and I've repeatedly struggled to clarify my thoughts. So now I'm trying to actual tackle that by starting a Substack.
My first post, "I'm Not Political" addresses the need for those who have disengaged to step up in what is a critical moment in history.
That's where I'll be posting articles relating to primarily US and Canadian politics, though this will naturally intersect with culture and technology. So if you are interested in that type of thing and/or enjoy my first post, subscribing via email will get you alerted to anything new that goes up.
Welcome to Elle, fellas. If we have to be here, at least we get to do it together.

Well this past week has been fun... oh this country...
I don't have a full article for this but I just wanted to elaborate on the baselessness of not just Dobbs but many cases lately. In essence, that the Supreme Court right-wingers are just making stuff up to reach a predefined conclusion, and the dissent called them out on it in the Dobbs case.
The question of whether other rights are in jeopardy isn't one of jurisprudence or case law and whether there is a consistency of reasoning, because that isn't relevant to the majority's decisions. But outside of that, I'm wondering whether the judicial system can withstand it. It was already crumbling to a degree. Unqualified Trump judges were making ridiculous judgments counter to established law. Now established law is becoming incoherent. What then becomes of the lower courts? What about honest judges and prosecutors for whom the current Supreme Court is making a mockery?
