my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

I don't think transgender athletes are the problem facing girls and women in sports.
Investigators say former coach Sean Gardner created videos showing close-up images of at least 10 minors naked or undressing, which they recovered from his computers last year while investigating reports of sexual abuse.
Gardner has pleaded not guilty and has been jailed pending trial.

They're citing the date of Kim Wong Ark but it should be the 14th Amendment itself. The Court didn't create it and that's not a nit-picky distinction here.

i think that we should charge even people who have been pardoned, because there is no conceivable way the founders intended the pardon power to permit the executive to order people to commit crimes and then pardon them for them

In case it makes news: there was a World Zionist Org aliyah fair at a London synagogue today and Jewish pro-Palestine groups protested against it. Various right wing or pro-Israel groups are pretending they were just protesting a synagogue for the sake of it and that the protestors were not Jews.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

Excited to hear how McCreesh’s NYT mournful elegy for the rich rapist paradise that was New York City before metoo is actually ironic so it’s ok to write that piece and we all need to learn to read better.

Not to lay my cards on the table but I think this narrow focus in online discourse on who deserves to be rewarded really elides the actual societal value of the education system (teaching members of society important stuff that it's valuable for them to know)

It’s good that moderation of violent rhetoric is viewpoint-neutral. It’s good that moderation doesn’t treat you differently based on blue check or celebrity status.

We are going to end up with two political coalitions in which one thinks "fighting antisemitism" means shutting down universities and deporting students, which polls show most actual Jews oppose, and the other thinks all antisemitism is a right-wing wedge issue. And Republicans want it that way.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.
All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."
It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.
