"he's not a pedophile because the minors he raped were pubescent" is not only trying to give cover for a pedophile but it's also linguistic prescriptivism, which is less of a moral wrong than the pedophile apologia but is still a moral wrong

A lot of people see kids as items for ownership and consumption and control and it is our absolute sacred duty to protect children from that evil.

Very much including teenagers.

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Direct File had tremendous potential to make tax filing less expensive, faster, and easier for millions of Americans.

What stands in the way is a tax prep industry that makes billions from being the middleman between you and filing your taxes.
👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead.

IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained.

IRS Direct File: 2023-2025.

(Story from when the pilot launched.)
IRS tests free e-filing system that could compete with tax-prep giants
The tax agency has quietly built its own prototype system for filing tax returns digitally and free of charge, according to current and former officials.
