A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Yes, how dare one cast a Black woman as Helen of Troy when the, uh, historical record shows that she was the daughter of Leda of Sparta and the supreme deity Zeus disguised as a swan, and was born from one of two *eggs*. Greek mythology is really strict that way. Also: no ancient PoC. Obviously.

The thing about the Boston Massacre— the fruits of arbitrary power— was not that the colonists were universally in the right. Things were thrown at the soldiers. But, the presence of a standing army escalated conditions. The use of force that night was not proportional. Citizens died needlessly.

Do you remember what the Pardon Attorney, Liz Oyer, was fired for? She wouldn't let a convicted domestic abuser, Mel Gibson, have the right to own a gun again. I guess this new office will make sure every person who commits violence against a domestic partner will maintain access to their guns.
