The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

"...this vision of vast, complex, infrastructural and scientific achievements that belong to the public constitute the highest mission of liberal democracy, and that without the freedom it provides, none of it could be possible"

Spending the last few days just watching this on repeat

This is Honey. She's a half-blind senior who survived a bear attack while protecting her family and farm. “She protected our chickens and our family," said her mom. "She’s our little savior." Honey has been treated for her injuries and is on the mend. We're awarding her our highest honor, a 15/10

Medicinal Beef is the name of my next band.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

i've got @jamellebouie.net from february

If we’re being generous on time, I drove from Columbus, OH to Seattle, then Eugene, OR, then LA, then San Diego, then back to Columbus in summer of 2011. About 7000 miles total over a month.

"Bunch of guys obsessed with Ancient Sparta can't beat the Persians at sea" was probably one of the known-knowns, come to think of it.

Thousands and thousands of people already are out of a job because American voters are careless with their part-ownership of the most powerful government in the world. Childish.

the decadence of being served by the most dangerous machine ever invented and deciding that you could make yourself innocent of its actions by refusing to direct them

Having intelligence, we must not act in ignorance. Having choice, we must not act without responsibility.

It's great that the president just spends all day yelling at his TV, and this results in thousands and thousands of deaths around the world. I'm glad this is how my country wants to be governed. This is good, actually, and I don't think we deserve to be swept under by the merciful floodwaters.

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

we are gonna make a better world. they don't want us to but we're gonna

vote for Democrats or shut up forever

It has occurred to me that the optimal level of marketing for my podcast Volts, upon which my family's entire income depends, might be higher than its current level of zero.

I’m sorry for acting weird earlier, I’m just weird

I have a billion dollar movie idea: Prequel to Jane Austen’s Persuasion, but it’s about Captain Frederick Wentworth’s naval career in the Napoleonic Wars

Labor is Alive in the South.

a) pedocon theory remains undefeated b) I’m sorry his name is WESLEY R. DINGUS???

in case you missed it yesterday, we have released the cover for book 3 of the ANA AND DIN MYSTERIES, which is A TRADE OF BLOOD

"Marky got with Sharon, Sharon got Charese"

"But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have gone woke, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it."

had a very respectful chat about theology tonight

millions of children will die but it might erode American soft power a little bit relative to Russia and China so who’s to say if demolishing USAID was bad or not

Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.

"I have some Reasonable Concerns about trans participation in women's sports which is why I support a worldwide crusade against transition care and trans recognition and want trans people unable to participate in public life or exist in society." "Because of the Reasonable Concerns. About sports."

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Amazing to come together as a labor movement standing up to ICE. The stakes are high. Recently, this administration's personal militia murdered a union member in broad daylight. Today, it gassed thousands of us members in Portland, preventing us from exercising our first amendment rights. UNLAWFUL!

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

If this was any other set of medical treatments, the entire medical community would be scrambling to study how they could improve their own treatments.

Motto of the coming decade

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.
