Ban them. We also need to go back and rethink the idea that public spaces make it so you can record anyone. Maybe that was fine when it was obvious you were recording and costly to record but in an era of secret and costless recording public spaces cannot be a free for all.

Interesting thread— reading the story is odd bc that’s not how Fed researchers write, and they typically understand why illegal crossings were higher during this time period.

this video has every scene he was in on his three episode appearance. best 10 minutes ever.

Oh my god, I just realized: this is so Passions coded.

Every other celebrity who has not used their fame to work with Sesame Street and then get soap opera slapped does not deserve their fame. I do wonder how many takes it took for him not to giggle after that slap.

In addition to being illegal and immoral, this is also how you get increasingly radicalized and disruptive protests. If an entirely legitimate and peaceful protest gets punished anyway, no reason not to go further.

He’s going to move to America for “safety” and will never realize the irony.

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

There’s something here too with the pundit class that all go to the same parties and feel self conscious that they don’t know soldiers or random white dudes named bubba, but think they should, so when one shows up they just accept the stereotype as fact and ignore really terrible behavior…

So what you’re all saying is the USMNT is back? Well, things were getting weird. I mean, something had to get reset after last night.

Y’all, Bluesky is the everything app.

Elect me your Senator Maine and I promise to spend my time messing with New Hampshire/Massachusetts, fighting my Acadian cousins for pronouncing their own names wrong, and generally making a nuisance of myself around Trump (oh, I’ll vote to expand the court and increase immigration - and for 🚂).

it is clear something happened with Platner - I know he cancelled all events- turning back in to this site after 3 hours has all of yall making jokes that point to something happening, BUT NO INFO ON WHAT.

Two proposals for new FIFA and IOC anthems.

My position on FIFA is it’s American exceptionalism to posit somehow this is uniquely bad, but it’s still bad etc. What I do want to know is — what happened with Trump? As the team started to win, as we started to throw parties, where was Trump? Where has ICE been? Where did the bravado go?

I can't believe people are openly rooting for england considering He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

…. I’m sort of scared to go try and see what happened bc uhhh. Did Mexico City fall into the sea? (Or lake. Sea would be hard).

Look f Trump and all that jazz, but come on. Hand of god? No era penal? Every single call involving Rodolfo and Messi? Can we just all enjoy the fact that this gave Stephen Miller an ulcer and not pretend that this isn’t basically standard operating procedure for FIFA?

I see this one making the rounds so I am sharing a bit of a warning. This is a non-peer-reviewed, poorly detailed report from an advocacy organization. Some key information is missing, and what is reported ("The steepest judgment gap.. comes from male Gen Z") smells like p-hacking.

Why am I a patriot despite all the terrible things America has done? Bc the idea of America is worth fighting to make real. Take it away Puddlegum:

I now make students read the debates on slavery from the constitutional convention. I’ve also made them read slavery is a positive good, anti-suffragette writings, and anti-Civil rights because they need to see no, it wasn’t everyone, but we only read the “victors”, but the antis are interesting…

Y’all did he do the speech?

I’m not in the headspace to read this but this dude 100% posted on EJMR

This will be a thread of tips for people suffering through their first god-awful heat wave with no or subpar AC. I'm a perpetually broke Southern Californian so my ideas run cheap.

It’s ignore multiple things being true day on Bluesky (again): Jeffries sucks, but he/Pelosi get harsher criticism than Schumer, but there are real complaints, but bad faith actors use legitimate complaints as cover for sexist/racist attacks, it’s the same w/criticism of AOC/Omar vs Sanders.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Not those of only certain races or religions. Not those with certain ancestry, or even those born in this country. All are created equal. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Re: “don’t cheer for your national team” discourse.

Just told the spouse about the horror show that was predecimal UK currency and I think it broke them.

Indoors also has indoor plumbing.

When your “for you” is really “for you”:

this state is so safe local news reports on crime in other states (do you know how bad a crime has to be in Baton Rouge to get coverage in New Orleans 30 minutes away?). If y’all actually care about police safety, might I suggest training officers to actively look at the traffic they direct?

Found Telemundo. Why are there 10 more minutes? Is that guy supposed to push the goalie like that? Are the announcers’ blood pressures being monitored?

I do not have telemundo on vacation AND WHAT IS HAPPENING? FIRST S SCHISM THEN A US SOCCER RIOT?!

So now I’ve gotten Susan Collins got me care that insurance denied (wut), a “tell Susan Collins no blank check for Trump”, and an anti-Platner one reading his online posts. My kid is getting a tell her thanks on preventing China from something with land (he didn’t take clear notes).

Got frustrated striking out at pitching opeds to media orgs and couldn't have done this piece within their word count constraints anyway. So now you Blueskis get to read it. Friend told me my superpower is explaining complex and dry law and legal history clearly. I try. You can be the judge. Thx.

If you work at Tufts and need to vent some anger, may I suggest some targets? (Also, unionize.)

I WENT ON VACATION AND A SCHISM HAPPENED?!? Is JD going to join the schismatics? Are we getting anti-popes? Can i fight someone while yelling the Pater Noster?

I was cleaning out my picture when I can across this absolute violence starter kit I found on campus on day. (No I didn’t go. I don’t have a death wish).

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

The ads in Maine are interesting. I’ve never seen a commercial that’s someone saying “Maine rural hospitals were closing. Susan Collin brought in the money to save them. Call her and tell her thanks.” Just that. And then the Platner had a nazi tattoo. Both very short, repetitive, and one key point.

Ever feel like there is someone you desperately want to fight in a Waffle House parking lot while screaming about Catholic theology and the constitution? Just me?

Well guess what? I’m going to treate originalism exactly like I treat Hegel, Strauss, and Derrida: absolute derision and scoffing.

Lolololololololol. Oh they’re touching the stove. There was a reason these things were put in place.

I just want to put this "fun" blast from the past here--an article in late 2004 in which Democrats can be seen blaming gay marriage activists for losing John Kerry the election by bringing lawsuits to enforce marriage equality. This article was not the only one.

Here, you want some discourse? A certain local trial *was* a cover up— not to frame her, as she probably did it and didn’t know bc drunk driving will do that, but to cover up that all the LEOs were also drunk/high and driving and then their lack of training and ability to work a crime scene.

Y’ALL IMAGINE ANGELA HILL OR MARGRET ORR TRYING TO DEAL WITH KORNACKI HOLOGRAMS.

I’ve been offline and gotdamn the discourse. I’m torn between running away and throwing myself head first into it (I biked in New Orleans and have experience with having to cool a house not built for ac with multiple technical challenges).

Oh my god, they finally actually did Obama phones.
