50 years ago ballplayers drank their faces off and that’s very bad for you of course but I don’t know how much better this is

cannot stress enough how bad it is to give teenage boys a "see this person naked" button. massive, multi-axis disaster

"Demeaning" trans people is exactly right. Their goal--and what they're most able to easily achieve--is our humiliation. The imposition of indignities. They also hope that, as humiliations often do, it exposes us to ridicule. Perhaps even violence. (e.g. forcibly outing people on their IDs).

That notion, which is rare among the most-developed countries in the world, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment. The amendment, ratified after the Civil War, states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

You could write this. Or you could write: β€œThat notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.”

All how you choose to frame it.

it is absolutely unbelievable that the Trump administration is systematically persecuting Cubans and Venezuelans, the most Republican Latinos in the US. what are they doing

Our latest polling averages over at 50+1 show Trump hitting a new low in his job approval rating (39.4% among adults) and Dems meeting their previous high in the generic ballot (+4.4) fiftyplusone.news/latest-polls

They genuinely don't have anything better to do. These are not people capable of great things. That she was so capable, that trans people can attain successes they must win with lies & slander, gnaws at them. Even when they win, for them it has no savor

something that I think even people like me who grew up rich might not necessarily understand is the lives of the rich and stupid. we grew up with rich parents who nevertheless weren't morons and would have no patience for the kind of irresponsibility that seems to dominate among our governing elite

You can tell that reporters are willing to fuck RFK Jr. to get a story, but a member of the white house medical staff is beneath them despite one being way more ethically sound.

I think this is also why ACB ended up at least as much of a swing vote as Roberts despite being personally further right to start with: she's actually reasonably well-read, and it takes way longer to brain-poison someone who is and continues to be well-read than someone who is already a hack

worth saying that some portion of the freed slaves were themselves illegal aliens having been brought illegally into the united states by smugglers. if the birthright clause applies to them, it applies to undocumented immigrants

Neither Donald Trump nor any Supreme Court majority can β€œroll back” birthright citizenship. It’s a power the people have never granted them.

Now we're back to this: note we're now talking about statements made 8 and 16 years ago. Who gives a shit, Josh? Also they were both absolutely correct and your pitch to voters offended by them is what, you'll come visit sometimes?
