It’s—complicated. But it’s worthy of deep discussion, if for no other reason than to remind us of why we have it, and ways we can make it serve to protect our system, not be used as a sword against it.

Although it doesn’t matter much what label you pick if you’re not going to vote that way. You can switch party labels but if you don’t vote like it, same diff.

no, it's not. if congress had done its job, if the voters had done theirs, we wouldn't be needing to fall back on the doj to save us. having said that, it is not understandable why doj did not take action much, much sooner and with much more zeal. we, the people, deserved "zealous representation"

notice he says "electoral landslide" - 'cause what else can he really say?

excellent. let's put them out of business and then only be able to shop at/sell goods with companies who support authoritarianism and don't carry minority-owned business products and don't recognize minority communities at all. maybe work with allies and help them not lose their nerve? guess not

may all of their memories be for an eternal blessing

if anything, i think he was trying to beat hit!er's record. and i don't say that lightly. but we are still in this fight. we will prevail.

Buit, it was people who live in Hawaii who work for the federal government who did this. The agency was federal but it's staffed by people who live in Hawaii. Who never should have engaged in this behavior, especially with glee.

My favorite part is these people are always claiming great patriotism, that they would lay their lives down for their country. Turns out, just potentially losing their popularity and their easy paycheck is too much. Imagine if they were on the opposite end of a Russian rifle barrel. “Patriots”

Not about congress. He was angry (“disappointed”) about the administration’s negligence toward the college campus protests that exceeded the first amendment. That was why he left the democrats. OP calling him out on that foolish, emotionally driven choice.

have to know the broader context. OP referred to Biden admin. negligence re college protests that exceeded what is permitted by 1st A., allowing harassment, intimidation, some violence. Ackman angry w/ Harris. OP chastising Ack. for allowing anger to blind him; Ackman: I wasnt angry… (word limit)

He started with "Hineini." This small section of his speech is a reference to the yom kippur services of atonement.

huge respect for you both

doesn't this sound like a potential promise that the court will reverse the lower court?

i mean, i'm sure it's coincidental timing that he's almost done with his project and it's only now that they are like, oh, maybe he should go. it's like the guy who willingly let the arsonist in saying maybe we should kick the arsonist out as the house is fully aflame. like, so what at this point?

this is so mistaken 😡 this is the wrong message for today. wait and see what the actual charges are the government brings. it might have nothing to do with a speech issue. this post undermines the legal system that so many jewish lawyers worked for a century to create to prevent a dreyfuss here

He doesn't speak for the administration. congress doesn't make charging decisions in criminal cases or immigration enforcement decisions. he is not a spokesperson on this. as a journalist, you should know this.

that's not a thing, saying a country shouldn't exist. no one has that right. and yeah, given what israel is, and the history, it's antisemitic af to think you have the right to debate its right to exist.

continuing-
criticizing israel's right to exist is antisemitic
being pro -palestine is not exclusive of being pro hamas. many pro palestinian people are pro hamas, but not all
no one is being arrested for being pro palestinian
violating *anyone's constitutional or legal rights is bad, actionable.

thanks for your one-sided comments there. adding a little context, like you all like to have, the vast majority of jews support israel. even when they disagree with the actions of the government there.

Wait til we get the first cases of kids whose parents overdose them on vitamin A.

No disagreement but also, the issue of giving ukraine half-measures of support is not insignificant here

💢 gd f'ing damnit. May the universe protect ukraine

Have you seen a statement from Congressman Case yet? I want to understand his reasoning. It made sense to me that he said he would try to fight for Hawai'i priorities in congressional spending even while opposing the administration. I understood that but this seems another category of concession.

look, i'm just saying, major phone carriers are contracting with starlink. right now we know what's going on because our population (at least the ones who care) is hyperconnected. without that connection? you tell me

Schrodinger's white - depends who is looking in the box

that's not correct. your math and your inputs are incorrect. total up the number of votes cast -- for all candidates -- that is who was in the election, not just harris and trump. when you total up all votes, you see trump got less than 50%. unless you believe the non-2-party votes "dont count?"

putting as much daylight between them as possible is the best thing for the republic right now. he needs to be willing to cut musk off
