From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

dang!

1. You lie and actively make the world a worse place with every word you utter, and the six-figure substack will be gravy on your staff position at a legacy outlet

2. You try to do good journalism and spend your life wondering what it's like to have health insurance

Valve being privately owned and not publicly traded is 100% the reason they haven't shat themselves fatally.

Every publicly traded company ends up shitting themselves to death to get more and more profit at the expense of existing. Like a tumor.

Valve isn't nice or your friend, its just that no one has a gun to their head demanding they meet some made up growth goal every year or else. So they just do what works and makes money with as little risk as possible. Like a normal fucking business.

Not to diminish law review articles & law school committee work, but right now law professors should be working collectively on an intellectual & service project of immense, existential importance: building consensus around a revolutionary constitutional framework-of a Reconstruction 2.0 magnitude.

The unitary executive means that the president must have the unfettered power to fire officers who decline to write him a check for $230 million, and appoint officers who will.

What a nice waste of time and money and livelihoods this was

Marc Rowan graduated from Penn in 1985. Mr Rowan has never taught a college course or worked on a college campus, nor does he have research expertise in higher education. He does own his very own private jet, though, so I guess he's qualified.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.
