I'm adding this to the list of things I think should be illegal for Judges to do under the constitution 2.0. Court: "So the government did something illegal" Everyone: "So you reversed it right?" Court: "..." Everyone: "So you reversed it right???"

In my view, the only plausible interpretation of gentrification that could be adequately defined is one based on intent. You can't just say every housing project, even a 'luxury' one with high rents gentrifies. Gentrification is when the governments intends to push residents out.

Convinced the FED is the only institution keeping this country going and the second Powell is gone, the whole thing is going to collapse in on itself.

Republicans grasping to the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska pisses me off a lot as a law student. They want to blame cashless bail and reinstate the death penalty neither of which actually gives justice or prevents this type of tragedy. Because they don't give a shit about due process and justice.

Societies are built on norms. The formal law matters significantly, significantly less in actually thwarting tyranny than the norms. 'Law' sets a norm and expectation, but is irrelevant unless believed and accepted. The biggest issue with Trump attacking Jimmy Kimmel is the precedent it sets.

If you were not considering it before for all the other things, after the Kimmel situation, you should be seriously questioning to yourself the mantra we've all been taught about the Constitution. It didn't just fail, it did not even try to stop this. No amount of cope can change that.

Add Disney to the list of Trusts that should be broken-up.

I know that the manosphere is engaging in indoctrination, and College is not, because Professors never told me not to seek evidence, and research, outside of their own classes. They encouraged it, they *expected it*. Meanwhile, the right-wing manosphere guru's will tell you not to trust academics.

If you believe Charlie Kirk was a model for serious intellectual debate, I need you to raise your standards, and to learn literally anything about the philosophical tradition. What I find missing from people like Kirk, besides engaging in bad faith tactics, is a love for wisdom.

Gun violence is a threat to freedom and liberty, and gun-owners who believe they have a right to an unregulated gun-industry are not just wrong, but are per-se irresponsible and reveal how unworthy of a weapon they are. The Post DC v. Heller interpretation of the 2nd amendment is tyrannical.

The difference between the right and left on the issue of censorship is the left never claimed to be 'free speech absolutists'

I said years ago 4chan should be banned. I was told that was unnecessary or just unjust due to the implications for freedom. But if you were going to make a teensy-weensy exception to the 1st amendment, I recommend banning 4chan.

So this game is CLEARLY directly related to Three House's universe in some way. As the Edelgard pfp girl I need to take a momentary intermission from politics to let Nintendo know that if they settle a 'canon' ending to Three Houses we will have serious beef. www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/09...

Yesterday, there was a shooting. Today, there was another shooting. Yet the gun-extremists will blame anything and everything but the guns. How much blood must be on their hands before they learn? People don't kill people. Guns kill people.

9/11 was the first day in my consciousness I remembered 'feeling' American. I was in Kindergarten when it happened. My Uncle was in the second tower, on the 77th floor. Luckily, he made it. But it was the first exposure I had to somewhat I loved coming close to death, and is scarred into my memory.

I find when shit like Charlie Kirk getting shot happens, the right equates 'violent rhetoric' with criticism. Calling Donald Trump a dictator is criticism. Lionizing violence is violent rhetoric. Don't get it twisted: MAGA created this beast. No major figure on the left lionizes violence.

Deaths like these, prove with certainty, that a gun-cult which seeks to make them ever present in our lives is incompatible with a free-society. Gun violence IS oppression and the 2nd-amendment does not guarantee liberty but destroys it.

Societies which permit political violence, are incompatible with democracy. One can detest Charlie Kirk for the charlatan he was, and 1. Feel bad for his innocent children and 2. Condemn political violence

So what I'm understanding is MAGA voters would prefer egg prices be low, than to have a President who isn't a pedophile. Except they don't even care about the first thing, they just want him to scream it at the TV. The eggs could be $10.00 as long as he SAYS they're getting cheaper, y'all are happy

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Being a recent graduate of law school lately is realizing that there is no stable truth to the constitution except the instability. The problem with SCOTUS is not that it suddenly is political or inconsistent. The problem is its wrong. Ethically, philosophically, legally, historically, wrong.

POV: One of the YIMBY legends @maxdubler.com follows you

Regular reminder that childrens rights do not necessarily align with so-called 'parents rights' and that Florida trying to end vaccine mandates in schools, typify how extreme their ideology is that they need to end decades old policies and represents an all-out assault on childrens bodily autonomy.

I don't know hot take. Maybe if America is falling apart, the founders were not actually that smart and their ideas were wrong. Just a thought. It's alright. Nothing lasts forever. Can't fault them too much.

The Union turns 250 years old in 2026, and Trump is trying his darndest to ensure that doesn't happen.

As long as Trump terrorizes our cities, he deserves no moment of peace. Tennis-bros going to the US Open, you know what to do. Start a chant.

Look, I believe in the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' and don't like making bold pronouncements without evidence. But if Trump were innocent related to the Epstein list, all his Attorneys should be disbarred for failing to advise their client to shut up at this point.

I'm tired of the 'I have opened my third-eye' and 'I know more than the experts' type of human. A recall needs to be issued, and we need to print more 'I paid attention when my Science Professor discussed the scientific method' people

The second you say the President has the right to extrajudicially kill anyone, no matter who they are, you have announced he has the right to kill you. This is the stuff of tyrants. It's time to stop referring to Trump as a President. Trump is a tyrant.

Florida ending vaccine mandates does not free anyone. It further permits anti-vaxxers to deprive their children of their human rights. It is a measure to oppress one of the country's most vulnerable populations: Children.

Found a random comment on a Youtube short about trump redesigning the oval office, claiming he has a 'good heart' because allegedly, he is paying for it himself.

When will Americans accept that there is no coming back from this? A government willing to do this, is one unsalvageable. Nothing less than total constitutional reform will suffice. The Republic is dead.

As someone raised in a devout Catholic house, I'm uncomfortable wishing death upon someone, but I sincerely think that man might be possessed by a demon.

I am at the point where if you quibble about 'mental health' or 'video games' or some other excuse for gun violence, and do not support gun legislation, I am inclined to assume you are just pro-child murder. You actively do not care if children die, and apparently take delight in it.

America when the government is rounding up Hispanics: "They totally deserve it! Wooo!" America when the government makes them perform a background check to buy a deadly weapon: "TYRANNY!" Americans do not hate oppression, they hate paperwork. That is our only real ideal as a country.

I am unsure what is happening at this early stage, but my neighbors may/may not be in the process of building an ADU on their yard. Oh God please let there be a NIMBY town meeting please. I want to show up and support my nextdoor neighbor. I'll come up to the podium after some NIMBY rant.

You will notice that I have updated my profile substantially. For those of you who were hedging bets about me coming out, congratulations you were right. There totally were not signs of this coming. I would like to state I still consider bro gender neutral and any one can be a bro in my mind.

I am happy to get downvotes from Gun-rightists everytime there is a new school shooting for saying this: The 2nd amendment does not protect the individual right to own a gun, and even if it did, this right does not exist, and is a farce. "Gun rights" do not prevent tyranny, they empower it.

America didn't need a national strike in 2025, 2020, or 2016. America has needed a national strike starting by at latest, 2008. In a better world, we'd have stopped all this oligarchic shit decades ago. Citizens United should have led to a massive opposition.

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

People who want to pretend explaining LGBT+ people to kids is difficult piss me off. I'm a Philosophy student. Do you know the weird I've explained to friends? If I can explain shit like the Pythagorean Monad to my friend while he's high-as-a-kite and out of it, you can explain lesbians to your kid.

To be clear, liberals think the Democrats should not use words meant to not offend various groups, or to highlight injustices against minorities, so as to not offend *checks notes* people offended by 'political correctness'. So you're saying the Democrats language is...politically incorrect?

As someone who loves small humans a lot, who grew up in a big family, has a lot of interest in child psychology, and who grew up in a Home Daycare surrounded by kids constantly, I'd like to just state I think that the 'protect the kids' people are the worst thing to happen to kids since broccoli.

I am opposed to gerrymandering. Gerrymandering destroys democracy and is a dangerous activity unique to America that has for centuries, resulted in an unserious 'Republic' not properly grounded in government determined by the say of the governed. But fascism is an immediate harm to be avoided.

Could be wrong but I think the hold Political-critiques-getting-raided-by-the-state thing is precisely what the constitution is supposed to prevent. Maybe something is more wrong with this country than Trump, 'politicians' and 'social media'. Maybe it's an issue with our system. Just a thought.

Me approving of Gavin Newsom gerrymandering California and thinking his social media is on-point does not constitute an endorsement of Gavin Newsom. I am tired of the anti-purity test bullshit talking point. Having standards is not a purity test. What the fuck does that even mean?

Notice that they're not content to stop renewables. They want to stop ongoing projects because they fear it. Because they know it would decimate the fossil fuel industry.

While all the right-wing Libertarianism screeched for years about believing in freedom above all else stay silent in the face of Trump's tyranny, notice that you have progressives they lampooned as authority-lovers are the ones defending John Bolton's rights. Rights belong to all, even bastards.

Rather than making America look better by deemphasizing how horrific slavery was, Donald trying to rewrite history just proves how dreadful a country we are. Defeating the Confederacy, should be the United States' greatest moral victory. But he wants to celebrate slavers not the Union.
