I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression

If Donald Trump is found to have sexually abused young girls, would it be politically disqualifying? This youth pastor says no.

@theathletic.bsky.social Why when I am logged into both the site on Chrome and the (up to date app) on my phone, when I click on an article does it disappear. First it was the podcast issues a month ago, now I can't even read anything. What am I paying a subscription for?

When Lyft or Uber asks you to contact elected officials to "keep rideshare affordable" remember that they profit from undermining public transit and increasing congestion. Use them where necessary, but don't let them use you.

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

Scalia had some shocking moments of bigotry on and off the bench, but I do not think I've ever heard a justice talk like Alito is today. He is not even trying to make legal arguments. He's disgusted by the idea of gay people, and arguing the case for parents who feel the same way. Absolutely vile.

I'm listening to argument in Mahmoud v. Taylor, the conservative Christian attack on books with LGBTQ characters in elementary schools, and it is impossible to overstate how contemptuous Sam Alito is of the idea of treating LGBTQ people with respect. He is a rank homophobe. Nancy Mace in a robe.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

Some jerks out there said John Roberts is biased just because he ruled, when Trump needed him to, that the president is a lawless king who can’t be prosecuted and the states don’t get to decide who’s ineligible to run because he sacked the capitol or whatever. This threatens judicial independence.
Judicial independence is under grave threat on several fronts, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote on Tuesday in a year-end report on the state of the federal judiciary.
Chief Justice Roberts Condemns Threats to Supreme Court and Judiciary
In his year-end report on the federal judiciary, the chief justice decried violence, intimidation and disinformation and warned against defiance of court rulings.

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

This is worse than 2016, when the country sort of stumbled into Trump, not fully knowing what he was.
This time around America knew what he was and chose it anyway.
