"The [Denver Public Schools] district removed [cops-in-schools] in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis, but reinstated them in 2023 after several shootings in and around East High School."

Done. Academia.edu got way more from me than I got from it. It’s ai podcast summary bs was too much for me. Good riddance!

"Whatever noun we use to label the “cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution” of our day, we are confronted with a set of choices about what and whom to associate with..."

Discussed the Rapture w Son. He was like not happening today. I pressed on, telling him if anyone is going today it’ll be him but that I’ll be brave when I get left behind. “Riiiiiiiiiiight,” he replied. The upside of it all? Teen let me hug him tight, no embarrassment, before he left for school. 🥰

You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.

It’s as if a competent would-be little leaguer no one had heard of showed up at Williamsport and struck out some kids — then just kept playing against succeeding generations of 12 year olds for another decade.

Will someone PLEASE tell me if my World Cup tickets will be good after the rapture

“Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars. Still more, it should not be used, as it also has been, to transfer government authority from Congress to the President, and thus to reshape the Nation’s separation of powers.”-Justice Kagan✊🏾

“DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind” All. The. Time. These. Days.

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

The US wasn't attacked. Nothing like 9/11 or Pearl Harbor happened. Drug dealers aren't making war, they're breaking laws to make money. Civilian boats aren't a military threat. As @bcfinucane.bsky.social explains with @gregsargent.bsky.social, the govt is redefining words to claim vast powers.

I have a new piece about the memorialization of Charlie Kirk, American identity, and the coming storm.

They are telling you you "can't tax capital gains" while they fly private jets from their yacht in the South of France to their third home in Aspen. Stop buying it. They live off their capital gains the same way we live off our income. The difference is, we pay our fair share.

“DEI in disguise”? What does that even mean? How about we stop accepting the premise that there is something illegal or even improper about DEI to begin with.

🗣️ Tell ‘em! Municipal leaders fall for sooooooo many “growth-oriented” schemes, giving away soooooo many resources to schemers. Basically, when it comes “economic development” sooooooo many municipal leaders are suckers.

The US has embarked on a new program of state-sponsored terror. It's different from the War on Terror (which was horrific) in that there's no precipitating event like 9/11. Instead, it's a very public, very illegal murder of civilians, done entirely in the open as a PR program for the new regime.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

At some level, much of Trump II is the ultimate revenge tour, and getting back at the Fair Housing Act for aggrieving Trump 50 years ago is just the latest example.

Happy anniversary!? LOL

Trump trying to send a DM to Pam Bondi but actually posting it on TruthSocial instead raises new questions about Joe Biden's mental acuity.

News. After the revelation that Tom Homans took a bribe of $50,000, President Teump took a firm line with his cabinet: “Nothing under seven figures!”

David Letterman to Jeffrey Goldberg on Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension: “You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian—a criminal—administration in the Oval Office. That’s just not how this works.” Watch here: bit.ly/4n0Uv2p

If I were a company that owns Star Wars and planned on capitulating to fascist threats, I wouldn't have provided Star Wars fans with two seasons of well-written anti-fascist inspiration right before doing so.

One time, the Missouri Ethics Committee investigated me over a $30 donation…

If you accept $50,000 in a Cava takeout bag from some FBI agents who are posing as businessmen and then the investigation gets called off, does that just mean you’re just up $50k? This is not political commentary. I would like to know the answer to the hypothetical here.

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

Nothing to worry about, just a GOP governor saying his state has to redistrict to favor Rs before 2026 or lose money to his state www.yahoo.com/news/article... Authoritarians frequently exploit state power to make it impossible for opposition parties to compete on a level playing field

Back in June, I took the media’s weasel wording to task. Examples: / “Trump’s Plan to Accept Luxury Jet From Qatar Strains Bounds of Propriety” / “Trump Bends Military’s Role” / And Trump “flirting with lawless defiance of court orders.” He was straining, bending and flirting. Now he’s “teetering.”

I mean…hasn’t this been a common local cop thing for like forever? I think what’s changed in the last twenty years is now there’s always someone recording it.
