“Biblical Justice, Equal Justice, for All”: How North Carolina’s Chief Justice Transformed His State and America
---

Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power. Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state.

Where's Laffy?

As you have probably noticed @GottaLaff has pretty much stopped posting on Mastodon in favor of #Bluesky. You can still get her posts by following @gottalaff.bsky.social

If bridging to Bluesky is not your thing, there are a few other very good 'newsgatherers' here on Mastodon, including:

@Nonilex
@wdlindsy
@servelan

Each of these accounts has their own style, but all are fabulous ways on Mastodon to keep up with the #news.

DHS used to only have information on immigrants who’d had contact with the agency.

Under a new data-sharing agreement, the system added information — including full Social Security numbers — on millions of Americans not in DHS databases.

I mean, you could always go back to school and learn the languages your neighbours speak, if it bothers you so much?

When the Times of London reported that former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio had misgivings about frontrunner Zohran Mamdani's policies, it seemed unlikely, since de Blasio had previously endorsed the Democratic candidate. It was unlikely — in fact, it wasn't true. In a remarkable snafu by The Times, journalist Bevan Hurley had emailed someone he believed to be de Blasio, but was in fact someone else, and then rushed to print the explosive story. De Blasio demanded a retraction (which he got), reiterated his support for Mamdani, and told @Semafor that he had never had an experience like this in 25 years of public life. As for the fake de Blasio? “You are correct. It was me. The real Bill DeBlasio,” the person who controls the email address responded to a message from Semafor, before ghosting the publication. Here's more on how it all unfolded.
