Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

this is that repost of bottom-barrel sociopathy I was talking about. "why are people cheering for murder, don't they believe in letting the system work?" they are cheering because the secretary of commerce is on TV saying "if you complain about not getting money you are owed, you're a fraud"
BREAKING: Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks — and that anyone who does complain is a fraudster.

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

We kept saying trumps second term will be worse and it is. But honestly, I get no pleasure from being right. It’s so soul crushing to watch how stupid everything is.

These stories of Canadians and Germans and French people getting detained are important and horrifying and I'm glad we're telling them

And also, in addition, we find them shocking because the liberal bargain has always been that these things will never happen to white people

Yes, the "hard left" is snatching people from their homes and putting them on planes without hearings to send them to notorious, massive prisons in El Salvador to be tortured!!!

Oh, wait . . .

can't think of an argument against this
not everyone has agreed with me about this but my read is that schumer is essentially telling donald trump to frame mahmoud khalil for something, anything, so that he can openly support his expulsion. trump does not seem to respect schumer enough to do this.
one insane thing about schumer's statements about khalil is that trump has been perfectly clear that he has not suspected of a crime. schumer nonetheless provided trump with an opportunity to confabulate a crime both trump and rubio have denied occurred. just lying to defend the president.

you can say they're not sane or their arguments don't pass constitutional muster till you're blue in the face. they have the power. they're doing it. And unless they are stopped they will keep doing it.
In the 2000s, the Supreme Court ruled time and again that even suspected terrorists captured in war zones overseas were entitled to due process.

In no sane world does Rubio's position pass constitutional muster.
Rubio’s position seems to be:

- We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us.
- Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges.
- After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

yo this is very exploitable by politicians. "maybe I'm out on a limb here -- but you know what birds do when they're out on a limb? they SING" [fundraiser, interminable emails you can't unsusbscribe from, "still singing" t-shirts, etc
Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

The person who punched Richard Spencer and instantly made him a meme never got caught. Just threw one punch and skipped off into immortality. I think about that a lot.
one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things:

you don't get to talk about it.

you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story.

it's *always* shut the fuck up friday

brutal. wish I hadn't read all those history books
Remembering for some reason how surprised everyone was at how quickly and comprehensively the USSR disintegrated, like it had already rotted from the inside and all that was left was a facade that seemed impressive and enduring but was hollow as papier-mache.

I think we might need to form like, pro-science militias. Go full Black Panther (non-fiction BPP) and get a bunch of ARs and hang out outside the home of climate scientists at risk of being disappeared.
From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.

Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

We should never have settled for only fighting for puberty blockers, you should always take the most "extreme" version of your stance — that kids should be allowed HRT to go through their correct puberty with their peers — and then settle for the compromise of puberty blockers
Let kids be who they are.

It's so fucking evil! So many people live in food deserts! So many people's food habits are based around what they can get easily because so many of us are so tired from working so much! Every individual cooking for themselves is unnatural anyway! We're supposed to cook masses of food and share it!
Blaming nutrition for illness is an extremely effective way to blame people for getting sick because they didn't eat the right foods.

We already have several decades of medical fatphobia to demonstrate

how bad and non-existent medical care gets when your illness is seen as your own fault.

i sound like a broken record at this point but i think one of the most damaging developments in internet communities (and also the internet in general) is creating spaces where any unqualified idiot is allowed to be wrong as fuck as long as they "mean well" and you're not allowed to be mean to them
