And thanks to a generation of reactionary centrists, feckless Dems, autocratic GOPers, and a TV culture of non-stop crime shows and bleeds-it-leads news, we spent TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of declining and low crime rates building out that police-state style police system at EVERY level of government.

I love Dan Immerwahr. And, yes, there is a Venn diagram where #RFK Jr. is correct sometimes...even as a skeptic. But this article looks like a full body massage with a light slap of the face at the end. Too much deference given to a very dangerous person. #science www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

It’s actually quite simple: Anyone who’ve called teachers groomers for giving teens (allegedly) sexually inappropriate books, but won’t call Andrew & Tristan Tate groomers for beating, sexually assaulting & trafficking teens, is a hypocritical fraud — and a misogynistic asshole.

He's so young, but James Maddison of #TottenhamHotspurs is a born storyteller/communicator -- visually, vocally and verbally. No boring post-game "I don't have the words" from him. He paints pictures. #Communications #EPL #UEFA

Someone asked me this weekend how I navigate being a business owner with the political turbulence we experience daily. I said I need to put food on the table, but I won't work with fascists. So if my perspective on being a good human clashes with a client's, then we weren't supposed to work together

@housingwire.bsky.social , you should be ashamed of your flippant headlines re: #Trump tariffs ("Must-see TV"). Even industry rags can play the role of #FourthEstate ... at the very least, use header/lede language that is balanced...and serious. #journalism www.housingwire.com/articles/don...

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

To Recap: You can commit a crime by negligently divulging military secrets, in violation of the Espionage Act, and you will *not* be arrested. But if you have an autism awareness tattoo to support your autistic brother, you *will* be kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp in another country.
