We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

You will hire staff based on their political views in response to some folks who insist (without much evidence) universities are indoctrinating students? Ohio State and Columbia vying for least impressive leadership and weakest commitment to principles.

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.

If you took the $1.1 trillion earned by just 100 billionaires last year and mailed every household a check, it'd be $8,700 each.

The thing is most billionaires don't actually pay taxes anymore. What the GOP bill is really doing is selling off public lands and cutting Medicare to pay off oligarchs.

Only Alito and Thomas say Bostock never applies to Equal Protection. They do not have a majority. Skremetti does not automatically reverse federal cases applying Bostock to new contexts like restrooms, sports, or identification documents. Nor does it apply to adults. 6/x

Violence or the threat of violence have no place in a healthy democratic process, no matter the poltical bent of the aggressor or the target. It is also not healthy or helpful to pass along wild conjecture, rumors, disinformation, etc. about violent incidents just to try to steer the spin.

You must always be more disciplined than the forces brought against you. They're allowed to make mistakes. They make the rules. Your mistakes will be used as justification for your own repression.
