Thank you, Lina Khan.

I am genuinely curious how many people, roughly speaking, are defending the killings. There will always be a handful of ghouls no matter the topic. Is this that, or is it something more substantial? Anybody know?

I just don't understand how this isn't *exactly* what these people (by whom I mean the heavily online people who voted for Trump) complained about re DEI, identity politics, cancel culture, etc. It's just the same old illiberalism in different clothing.

This can't be true.

(I read it earlier on Twitter. He's just so smart and big picture oriented. He always makes so much sense to me.)

I really appreciated and learned from this. Thank you.

I don't think he's talking about the term.

Right. This is why it was the northern pols, not the southern ones, who wanted them counted as less than a whole person. (They wanted them not to count at all, in fact. The 3/5 was a compromise.)

Sing it, Millie Lou. I'm here for your rage. xoxo

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Hey, thanks for the legwork. I agree re treating prisoners humanely.

Are these pictures real? I'm just curious because they look AI-generated.

An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

Ah, that makes more sense. Thank you.

I dread the silverware

Which election? The Wisconsin judge one?

The mistaken notion of the word "famine" as metaphor, simply because it's so alien and fantastical to modern audiences, reminds me of Gaza. (And of course of Sudan and Congo).

This was excellent. Thank you.

A thousand times yes.

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

What. Is. This. Garbage.

Hannah Arendt worried about this. She was concerned that an explicit Jewish state, forced to maintain a Jewish demographic majority, would trample the rights of the Palestinian Arabs. She expressly argued that Jews on the rebound from the Holocaust would be susceptible to oppressive rule.

The beauty of social media is that there is normally someone out there inclined to, interested in, happy to catch people up directly. So a "Hey, I'm not caught up on this, can anyone help me out?" is, like, literally, the sign of a vibrant and generous community.

Ouch. This says more about you than them. It's kinda mean-spirited, no?
