If a straw hat is made of straw, and a wool hat is made of wool, then a rain hat is an odd idea.

8 million No Kings protesters Zero police officers beaten Zero police officers killed Zero feces smeared on walls.

Did the DOJ rely on factual claims they knew were false in seeking and securing the Antifa convictions in Prarieland, Texas? It now seems that they did. inthesetimes.com/article/prai...

Democracy by its very nature means standing beside people who make you uncomfortable or even angry for whatever reason and deciding that because they live and breathe and are human, they also have a stake in your society. Whether you'd spend your Saturday with them or not.

Favorite sign from the protest: "DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF" --HISTORY

"Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available." Polio: 23k paralyzed Measles: 290k deaths Rubella: 41k born w/ congenital rubella syndrome Diphtheria: 138k-1M deaths

At the latest CPAC meeting, a speaker warned the audience about the dangers of a Democratic House majority. Rhetorically, he asked "Do you want to see impeachment hearings?" Cheers erupted.

Learning how to get a handle on your own thoughts and emotions is a lifesaver and should NOT just be for people who are already seen as "unstable." Anyone can become unstable under the right circumstances. Having skills to stabilize is vital.

When you have talented people on your team, get out of their way.

37 indictments, plus: Trump associates repeatedly lied about their contacts with Russians. Trump refused to answer questions about his obstruction. A statement signed by over 1,000 former federal prosecutors, that anyone else who engaged in that obstructive conduct would have been indicted.

Undocumented people get nothing from purposely registering to vote but an unwanted interaction with the government. That's why there are so few instances of non-citizen voting. Think about it, MAGA. Take all the time you need.

Wife just told me this one: What’s the difference between Iran and Vietnam? Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

From inside a women’s prison, a domestic violence survivor began collecting others’ stories of abuse. Many prisoners, 156 in all, shared harrowing accounts that shaped a new Oklahoma law.

I can't stop thinking about this.

This is the most DEI administration the world has ever seen. FINALLY we have leaders from groups that have been historically underrepresented, marginalized and discriminated against! Specifically, felons, pedophiles, porn stars, grifters, talk show hosts, nazis, etc. Making America Great Again!

It’s uncanny.

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

Always had trouble finding college educated people who have seen this...

In so many ways we were.

I don't know how useful this will be in the long run, but I kicked a few bucks to this organization a few days ago:

This guy testifying might not know that in December 2024, CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. recommended that all Americans use encrypted apps. Even if you're not antifa. :)

Vote in the midterms like your children’s and grandchildren’s lives depend on it. Because they do.

Billionaires don't want billions bc they want a luxurious, happy life. That's not what billions buys. Exquisite luxury for life is what $100M buys. Billions buy something very different: Control over other people. The wealth tax is an issue of fundamental freedom and functional democracy.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

The virus killed my uncle in just four days during the initial wave. He died alone in the ICU on a ventilator because nobody was allowed in the room. These trolls want to make a “comedy” out of it.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

“Both Good and Pretti were engaged in the task that democracies assign to citizens: that of paying close attention to the workings of power. If the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, a country that inflicts the ultimate punishment on those who dare to be vigilant can no longer be free.”

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

I am one of the most published academics on the childhood social transition, with 5 peer reviewed articles that relate to the topic. There is so much evidence of benefit of social transition. There is no evidence of harm. Not one jot. This will literally kill trans kids. No exaggeration.
