I’m bald. I don’t know how anything works. People don’t like my comedy. Fine, I’ll do it. I’ll be the Joe Rogan of the left.

The arguments against birthright citizenship aren't credible exercises of intellectual exploration; they are anti-constitutional themselves.

The purpose of the Citizenship Clause was to end the debate. Entertaining anything other than citizenship by native birth is an attack on the 14th Amendment.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

Admitting when you're wrong is one of the most difficult and crucial skills a person can have afaic
admitting you're wrong - even if just to yourself - is Good Actually
Note that the “free speech on campus” people like Friedersdorf, Chait, Weiss, still blame this on “the excesses of woke.” Not a one - to my knowledge - has admitted they were actually wrong.

A sickening display of brazen imperialism and complicit regime propagandists posing as media.
Q: Trump trolling or Trump truthing -- Greenland joining America?

LEAVITT: Definitely Trump truthing

Q: Canada becoming the 51st state

LEAVITT: Trump truthing. All the way. And the Canadians would benefit greatly.

The Canadian election result shows that the 2024 US election might have gone very differently if American voters could somehow have known in advance what it would be like to have Donald Trump as president

This case—the unapologetic homophobia, the cloying feigned ignorance, the cartoonishly obvious bad faith—has made me angrier than I've felt in a long time (like a week, probably) ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/mahmo...

The children's books that Sam Alito says convey "highly objectionable moral principles" are standard-issue storybooks with gay and trans characters. They don't teach anything about "gender and sexuality." Alito is just a homophobe who doesn't want to see it. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/mahmo...

Stories like "Uncle Bobby's Wedding" are only objectionable if you find the very existence of LGBTQ people to be objectionable.

An extremely expensive and stressful day at the emergency vet! The dogs went full white lotus and ate a bunch of toxic fruit that fell into our yard. They are still so, so sick but appear to be doing better. Grateful to the vet and staff who took such good care of them and saved their lives.

Scalia had some shocking moments of bigotry on and off the bench, but I do not think I've ever heard a justice talk like Alito is today. He is not even trying to make legal arguments. He's disgusted by the idea of gay people, and arguing the case for parents who feel the same way. Absolutely vile.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

The logic of eugenics is first to assume disability is undesirable and should be eradicated. Once you’ve established this as stable ground (or at least part of legitimate debate), you work to code everything else you want to eliminate as disability.

You can never, never grant the premise.

This evil, vicious, dangerous man would never be able to understand or perceive what neurodivergence really means or is.
His disgust for disability shapes everything he does and systemic societal ableism has elevated this man to a position where he can do untold harm to millions.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime.

As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.
