Can we argue people out of beliefs they never reasoned themselves into? @greatcathy.bsky.social, via Pierce, suggests a different approach—truth as inquiry, not authority. @geographers.bsky.social @americangeo.bsky.social #GeoSky #SocialPsyc #PhilSci #PsychSciSky

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

And, here's the central part of McConnell's reasoning:
The Executive's statement that the Executive Branch has a duty "to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities," (ECF No. 48-1 at 11) (emphasis added) is a constitutionally flawed statement. The Executive Branch has a duty to align federal spending and action with the will of the people as expressed through congressional appropriations, not through "Presidential priorities." U.S. Const. art. II, § 3, cl. 3 (establishing that the Executive must "take care that the laws be faithfully executed .."). Federal law specifies how the Executive should act if it believes that appropriations are inconsistent with the President's priorities-it must ask Congress, not act unilaterally. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifies that the President may ask that Congress rescind appropriated funds.? Here, there is no evidence that the Executive has followed the law by notifying Congress and thereby effectuating a potentially legally permitted so-called "pause."

Obama got more shit from wearing a tan suit. These people throw nazi salutes and the apologists rush to explain it’s not what’s right in FRONT of our eyes.

Two reminders:
1) Trump initiated this ban on August 7, 2020 with an Executive Order
2) Our leaders can’t get anything done to actually protect us, but they were able to ban TikTok

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.

Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

A thread.
