One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.
I need this first sentence on a T-shirt.
Or possibly printed on a banner that I can hang over our driveway.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."
The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.
More on this tomorrow.

I would love to have a discussion with Jake Tapper about the history of the term "concentration camp" and its usage. It would do so much good if he would actually address this head on.
God the gall of @jaketapper.bsky.social lecturing that Minneapolis small business owner about the meaning of the word "concentration camp" while people are being crammed into poorly resourced buildings by the thousands and shuttled off never to be heard from again

Thread. As always, Ms Price is correct.
Like I dunno, I keep thinking about how every time women, especially older women, start becoming *visible* in a left-of-center movement, instead of just invisibly making it run, there’s complaints that the movement is somehow now too centrist.
Still a little mad about this. Dismissing craftivists (who are mostly women) as cringey bandwagoneers is bullshit. Not everyone is Extremely Online; communities form in person, too: PTA meetings, book club, grocery store, gas pump, daycare pickup, pharmacy, dog park, ice rink, stadium, etc etc etc

I'm very fortunate that when I was young and knew everything, social media didn't exist the way it does now, so a lot of my blustering and bad ideas floated off into the ether. Eternally grateful for that.

Rapist mindset
A common theme between the Kennedy Center, the East Wing, and Greenland is that POTUS views someone else’s property as a real estate project ripe for redevelopment.
So, East Wing treatment for the Kennedy Center?

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

If there comes a day when police put their bodies between the feds with guns and their targets, I will praise the police for doing so. I don’t expect to see that day. It might even be a dangerous escalation. But until that day comes … I assume they are helping the feds.
