Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

I JOKINGLY asked my bureaucratic politics colleagues how race fits into the story of one of their papers. Y'all, they spent 10 minutes digging into it. (I didn't understand anything they said, but omg how amazing).

You know the only reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

Struck up a casual 20 minute conversation with two cool women ~mid 20s. Managed to bring up hostile architecture and market failures in that period of time… I can’t believe it was ever a mystery to me why I am uncool.

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

Freedom of speech and the right of due process - unless you "create a ruckus," then you'll be disappeared by masked agents of the state. Fundamental constitutional protections - officially suspended for foreign nationals. They'll remain in place for US citizens until the regime decides otherwise.

A stunning assault on the First Amendment Before Rubio's confirmation, senators and pundits acted as though he was a "sane," "rational," "normal," "moderate" nominee. He's constantly showing himself to be a right-wing extremist.

Let’s be clearrrrr. The problem isn’t with libgen. The problem is with META, a 77.8 BILLION DOLLAR corp, making money off of stolen intellectual property from people with a yearly income of about 0.00009897% the amount of money as META.

Probably a good time to note that law enforcement can compel individuals to unlock their devices using biometric methods (fingerprints, facial recognition) but CANNOT force you to type in your password. Adjust your settings accordingly while traveling.

A stranger on social media said I look like I’m part Vulcan and the comment was filtered for being potentially harmful. I’m like why would they censor out someone saying I look smart and elfish? That’s a huge win 🖖🏼

Working on a major r&r and I am majorly humbled. Like what it was when I got the r&r versus what it is now? How did I have the audacity to think that version deserved an r&r??? (This means I have no understanding of what is “good.” If I think this is a lot better that means it’s prob still garbage?)

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.
