June 14. A few months after coming to power, the regime orders a massive military parade in the nation’s capital, on the regime leader’s birthday - symbolizing the regime’s claim that the leader embodies the nation. This should be anathema in a democratic republic. It’s insulting and dangerous.

There's a kind of male violence that is often misinterpreted as being in defense of women when it's actually in defense of who has the right to harm women (in a "we do; they don't" mode, see KKK, southern lynching, etc.)

One of my many fears is that the next Democratic president will spend too much time talking about "the importance of not dwelling on the past" instead of prosecuting every single one of the people responsible for this nightmare.

I'd love to be proven wrong but don't think that simply demanding Noem to resign is going to work, better file articles of impeachment just in case and grind all other legislative work to a halt until Mike Johnson agrees to let the issue proceed to a floor vote

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacated by undocumented immigrants. Bill would allow 14-yr-olds to work overnight shifts, end guaranteed meal breaks for 16/17-yr-olds. (Legislature already passed law allowing home-schooled 16/17-yr-olds to work any hour of the day)

The best scientific evidence is that the 2020 BLM protests helped defeat Trump in the election. These protests are likely doing the same. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

Correct. And they do this to Dems because there is less of a threat of retribution, less fear of physical harm. Biden’s cognitive state didn’t make us the pariah of the world. He had expertise around him. There is none now.

It's often presented as a kind of conformity or groupthink to "trust the experts," but you do in fact need to do this to have a functioning society! What is the alternative? Every person researches every single issue of public concern themselves?

“Public research universities …have turned to international students, who commonly pay full price for tuition, to help compensate for declines in state funding for education.” In a way, Trump’s attack on student visas is a new battlefront in an old war: the right’s crusade against public education.
