People in Portland forget just how close together we are politically. Our spectrum of liberals feels broad but compared with a lot of the country weβre a narrow band and can agree on a lot.

For my entire life, Republicans have pretended to be obsessed with the constitution. If they do nothing now, we will know they were lying about that too.

For example: 41% of Harvard seniors in '23 went into finance or consulting. 4% public service

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trumpβs election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.

19.04.2025 19:15 β π 38150 π 8157 π¬ 384 π 219The image shows a text post from a tumble user with the handle "theconcealedweapon" making an argument about the importance of protecting the rights of criminals as a safeguard against government tyranny. The post presents the following key points: If you want to prevent government tyranny, ensuring criminals have rights must be your top priority This is not meant as a joke or exaggeration Without rights for criminals, governments can simply label people as criminals to strip away their rights The post claims this has been a common tactic of tyrannical governments throughout history The post concludes that believing people who break laws should forfeit their rights is effectively supporting tyranny The argument centers on the idea that due process and legal protections for accused/convicted persons are fundamental safeguards against authoritarian government overreach.
