"If you tempt our wrath we will try like hell to primary you, but if you don't - or if you win the primary despite our efforts - we will be your most reliable votes in the general election" is *the* sweet spot for getting a party to listen to you and it drives me nuts that people miss it

Harsh punishment is only a fraction as effective a deterrent as INEVITABLE punishment.
Prosecuting the Epstein collaborators would do much more good, convincing predators that society will not tolerate them, than just ratcheting up a punishment they don’t believe you’ll use on them.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This is an incredible photo.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

"We left with all my children" implies there is an alternative, which is so horrifying I've never even considered it.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

A lot of people made fun of Bush dancing with the West African Dance Company—and sure, it's funny—but this was good.
Middle aged white guy unfamiliar with something culturally nonwhite recognizes it's a happy, fun celebration, and welcomes it, participating though awkward.
That was much better.

Seems legit. I don’t know why the birders are getting in between us and the Norwegian progressives.

@robwords.bsky.social, people say that Y and W are sometimes vowels and sometimes consonants … but when exactly are they one or the other, when they always make the same open-mouthed sounds?
I know Y is a vowel when it’s the only vowel in a syllable … but W is never alone, only in diphthongs.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.
