The reasoning in the Supreme Court's decision on the New York gun law is blatantly faulty. It is based on an equation between free speech and gun rights. But if free speech is abused, an injured party can sue. If guns are abused, the dead or grievously maimed have no recourse.

I can just hear the echoes from 2016... "...but her emails." "...but her Wall Street speeches."

I am surprised to see so many familiar social-science names still on twitter, which Elon Musk seems intent on using to spread conservative messaging and even lies.

Isn't it time for liberals/progressives to give up on twitter? nytimes.com/2022/12/02/tec…

How can any liberal American continue to support twitter, which is clearly doing work for the hard-core right wing? nytimes.com/2023/04/05/bus…

I continue to be astonished by the number of sociological colleagues who use X. This platform is under the control of someone spreading right-wing disinformation. Isn't it time to end your support? nytimes.com/2024/01/25/us/…
