If you do not support the universality of human rights, you're a monster.
If you support governments that commit genocide, you're a monster.
Far too many individuals are unable to rise above those VERY low bars.

Unpopular opinion: "a nation only for [X] people, where only [X] people can be citizens" is bad, regardless of which group [X] represents.
Supremacy is bad, regardless of the group which expresses it, and it is outright unacceptable when codified into policy or law.

Would make Cox the THIRD Republican governor in recent years to expand his state's Supreme Court to shift its ideological balance rightward, after Arizona and Georgia.
Reminder: Republicans love "court packing" when it suits them:
Last week Utah Gov. Spencer Cox appointed anti-abortion culture war zealot John Nielsen to the state supreme court, & may now expand the court to create a majority more favorable to Republican legislators: www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

So it turns out that the fetal cat we've been taking care of has not only been sneaking in to the house to finish off the leftovers from the other cats (expected), but also sneaking much deeper into the house and going into my office.
And scent-marking my chair.

As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.

Read all of this. This is everything and everybody we were trying to warn about.
NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

That’s because they don’t think of their political enemies as “the country.” When they think of the country they love, they think of people who believe and look like them only. They don’t consider us Americans, we’re usurpers. Another good reason U.S. patriotism can’t be reclaimed.
