I was listening to NPR last night and everyone they spoke to thought the Democrats were going to lose the House. They were projecting the Dems losing 20 seats. I wonder if all the gloating here about democrats winning in November is due to different sources of information, different ways of thinking about the race, or just straight partisan hackery.






Agreed.

It’s about them winning the senate or increasing their lead. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t think the house is a lost cause due to redistricting.

Defund the police and the slogans going with it helped spur academic and scholarly reviews of the concepts too. The slogans might not be politically expedient in the moment, but can have positive impacts long term. Normalizing a concept can lead to broader adoption and seeing so much growth and consideration from the legal scholarship side is hella promising to me.

This looks a bit long, but it's not as big as it seems because there's a ton of citations involved and all those citations are a good sign imo.

The Dangerous Few: Taking Seriously Prison Abolition and Its Skeptics - Harvard Law Review

Prison abolition, in the span of just a few short years, has established a foothold in elite criminal legal discourse. But the basic question of how abolitionists would address “the dangerous few” often receives superficial treatment; the problem constitutes a “spectral force haunting abolitionist thought . . . as soon as abolitionist discourses navigate towards the programmatic and enter the public arena.” This Essay offers two main contributions: it (1) maps the diverse ways in which prison abolitionists most frequently respond to the challenge of “the dangerous few,” highlighting strengths and infirmities of each stance, and (2) proposes alternative, hopefully more productive, responses that interrogate and probe the implicit premises (empirical, ideological, or moral) embedded in and animating questions concerning “the dangerous few.”

In the last two decades, however, prison abolitionism has enjoyed a resurgence, both as a rallying cry for activists and as a focus of sustained scholarly inquiry for geographers, sociologists, philosophers, radical criminologists, and others. Legal academia, however, remained curiously impervious to these developments.

Until recently. Over the last half-decade, legal scholars have begun grappling with the challenges and promises of prison abolition. In a 2015 article entitled Prison Abolition and Grounded Justice, Professor Allegra McLeod provided the first sustained discussion of prison abolition in legal scholarship; in the 2019 Foreword to the Harvard Law Review’s Supreme Court Term issue, Abolition Constitutionalism, Professor Dorothy E. Roberts cemented abolitionism’s place in elite academic legal discourse. A small flood of related scholarship — either expressly adopting an abolitionist lens, or at least responding to abolitionist critiques — has now appeared in leading law reviews. Both the Harvard Law Review and the UCLA Law Review have dedicated symposia to furthering abolitionist perspectives. Abolitionists’ “‘fugitive’ knowledges,” it seems, have finally begun infiltrating even the most rarified spaces of mainstream legal academia.

It was stupid. They could have achieved these aims WITHOUT the stupid slogan. Y’all just can’t come up off this framing without ignoring that we don’t want reforms.

They're trying to make a more palatable position. Saying they're giving women almost 4 months to make a decision.

Still a losing position. They first said it was a state decision. Now it's x amount of weeks tomorrow it will be something else.
This is a hail Mary
