If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I don’t think anyone should be asking #adopted people to explain why access to the truth about themselves should count as a “life or death” issue.
Not when adopted people attempt suicide at least 4 times the baseline rate.

Yes but how often, in 2025, the age of easy genomic sequencing, does it mean life or death to be able to speak with an adoptive parent?
How often has it ever?
Not asking sarcastically, I do get the fundamental need to know where we come from. That seems to be central to being human.

International adoptions to the U.S. have slowed to a trickle, matching trends in other countries
After peaking in 2004, the annual number of international adoptions to the United States has fallen by 94% as of 2023.

Victor is right. Promotion of the word "wokeness" allows right-wingers to pretend their racism and sexism is issues-oriented rather than hate-oriented.
Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

This is my suspicion-- the conservative majority wants to use this case to show it's standing up to Trump, when it's doing nothing but that. It's a manufactured show.
I can't say I'm confident that there aren't at least 4 votes to "take this nativist revisionism seriously," but I wouldn't discount the possibility that SCOTUS will use the case to try to launder everything else it is giving the administration with a self-congratulatory anti-Trump opinion.
The bad news doesn't end there. SCOTUS could have summarily affirmed a ruling invalidating Trump's birthright citizenship order. That it chose to grant cert suggests at least 4 votes to take this nativist revisionism seriously. I'll have more to day about that in future essays. End 🧵

It's like they were just looking for any excuse, any flimsy pretext, and boom, here we are, having to hear people talk about "the sin of empathy"
COVID unlocked spite in countless people like sleeper agents designed to make everyone’s life a little bit worse. Things were already headed that way, but being told to care about others’ well-being and health made an entire section of our population decide to be perpetual brats
Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff
