Y’know, police having ‘absolute immunity’ is pretty much the definition of a ‘police state’.

Greenland does have strategic benefits for the United States. The US gets those strategic benefits via a robust alliance, and would get much less at much higher cost by forcibly taking it over. Sen. Fetterman is a reflexive Trump supporter at this point. Don’t think, just back whatever Trump says.

The real task isn’t “teaching people to spot misinformation.” It’s rebuilding conditions where verification, deliberation and accountability are possible. Critical thinking only works when the world around it gives those skills a place to take root.

Again I think this is the thing it's easy to just not know from the outside: the British press, the media and information environment in this country, is utterly toxic to a truly shocking degree.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

I think Democrats should reject their money all together and tell them to fuck off. These guys are on their way to becoming supervillains on par with 2008 Wall Street, and being on the right side of public outrage would be beneficial.

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

It baffles me how the Left, who seem to take decent positions on many things, have got the Online Safety Act so wrong. Opposition to it is being portrayed as right-wing, whereas it's pure common sense. It doesn't do what it was designed to do, AND it has tons of negative second-order consequences.

Under pressure from the White House, the Smithsonian has removed Trump from the impeachment exhibit at the History Museum. The exhibit now says that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal,” referring to Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton. The exhibit now looks the way it did in 2008.
