I’m still working on my profile - there’s a lot to unpack or repack, depending on point of view.
Last week, Jonah Goldberg argued against free public transit in NYC since ppl who use it should pay for it. Pick one, maybe! @thebulwark.com

Tho I’m not a theocratic fascistic ethnostate fan by nature anyway so I think that should be a part of international law. TST tenants are even better than the “democracy” religion, IMO. Check it out, yall @kateshaw.bsky.social @dahlialithwick.bsky.social

@mswmedia.com @coolzonemedia.bsky.social search for the annihilation matrix betwixt US, Isreal & various Middle East countries in the past 5 years, compared with the creation of NATO & The UN & various non-military actions. Seems adding all warring countries to the UN as members is overdue.

Indeed. Illustrative of the swath of mostly dudes who claim it’s the blue haired feminists (whatever the fuck that is; old? Creative? Brave?) who help us as a culture understand enthusiastic consent causing all their problems. Dude has taken too many colors of pills, I’m sure.

By Blocking aid, leveling cultural centers, executing doctors & aid workers, apartheid system, no water/power access, siege of strip & occupation of West Bank seem no less aggressive than Russia-Crimea-Ukraine. Isreal has a right to exist but not to ignore responsibilities to international law.

Furthermore, anti-genocide isn’t pro-Hamas, which anyone who is intellectually honest can understand. Hamas hasn’t wiped out Israeli population, culture & memory. Same can’t be said about Israeli actions for quite some time. SPLC is wrong about anti-apartheid / anti-genocide & criticizing govt.

Shameful tactics.

I’m pretty livid listening to some of these.

Of course Districts 4, 5 & quite a few others seem quite delayed in posting case updates & audio to their websites, so I’m sure I haven’t heard the worst of the inertia yet.

Who *cough* **DOGE** *cough* manages or processes their sites’ content?

Some circuits don’t want to follow the 1st Step Act, even as narrowly as SCOTUS says they must. They must at least do a review for qualified incarcerated ppl (served over 10 years served,more to go, would’ve resulted in many fewer decades today) for resentencing.

Add to that further non-contextualized “reasonableness” and “dangerousness” and “state of mind”. But whatevs.

8th seems a little split.

The government fails to really persuade me or anyone they had better case, IMO.

They act as if “extraordinary” and “compelling” are objective standards equitably & consistently applied if comparing 3 cases’ opinions usage, or even 2 different cases within their own.
