I don't think you need to be a police abolitionist to understand that it is a very real practical problem that when cities determine how to allocate resources the police budget can only EVER go up. This is not just some idealistic objection, it is a specific civic management issue.

anti-abortion chuds moved with the certainty that God was on their side & spent 50 years laser-focused on doing whatever necessary to overturn Roe as "the law of the land." if you think Defund The Police "is a bad slogan" you're admitting you don't have the grit to match George Tiller's murderer

it’s neat how everyone views homophobia as a solved problem so everyone can kick up their feet and say “job done” and continue to be casually homophobic

NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!

As an AI hater this is something we do need to contend with. There ARE ethical ways to train LLM models (using only your own writing or art, using stuff from the public domain) which also removes the environmental concerns since yeah, it's all self hosted. This is markedly different!

Incredible scoop! Career officials inside the Trump administration first viewed the case of Mr. Abrego like any normal case of a wrongful deportation — they began looking for ways to bring him back, as happens normally when ICE makes mistakes. Then the White House got involved, and blew it up.

Honestly this chases its own tail and lands back in proving how dismal the left's footing is right now. If we had anything like a coherent left wing in US politics we wouldn't have this kind of widespread total failure in understanding something as fundamental as What Is The Working Class lol

It is really funny to show a 7-year-old post about deporting a Nazi camp guard on your dumb gimmick account and crop out the part about this being about a Nazi camp guard. You can argue for "no deportations even for Nazis" and it wouldn't even be hard to do that, but this is just laughable.

the only approach to trump that has ever made sense was “slow him down as much as possible while rallying public support to your cause” and while most politicians, pundits, and big law partners don’t get this, some do, and lawyers in particular have the tools to act on that understanding

I was COMPLETELY ASTONISHED by how many early-career or unpublished writers I spoke to at the library last year who said they 'didn't read' fiction because they were 'worried' about writing too much like the author they were reading. This is on me, I thought it was a bit people were doing online. 😩

Okay I think I'm cooking with this idea. I'm in a metric ton of Discords, most are dead quiet, and the ones that aren't are either: podcast-driven, community-oriented, or have a strong personality that is essentially leading it.

This is similar to @theophite.bsky.social's "self-censoring facts" but rather than something being so absurd that saying it makes you less credible, these are facts that are censored because if they were true they would be intolerable
