This is getting a fair amount of scorn, and Iโd say it deserves it. The hidden premise is that โcorruptionโ requires the specific proof that the Supreme Court has decided (controversially) is required for certain very specific federal criminal statutes.

On the one hand, there is absolutely a civic duty to be informed. On the other hand, there is absolutely no standing for the NYT to demand anyone read or share stories. No one is obligated to share stories that function as contextual apologetics.

I'm going to repeat again:
1) A Trump opposition viewed exclusively in terms of Dems v GOP will fail.
2) There are a great numbers of leaders opposing Trump.
3) There's definitely reason to criticize Dems, but one reason Trump won is bc Dems focused on Dems, not Trump.

The Roman empress Elagabalus, a trans woman, was the first Roman sovereign to allow women in the Senate.
This icon of womanhood did more for women's rights than any transphobic "feminist" ever will.
Also, more people should know about her because all the Roman Empire bros conveniently ignore her.

I wish Schumer would stay off the telly or even better I wish the tellies were covering Booker and Jeffries instead.
But here's one point abt impeachment, done well, and topically, it can come to fruition just as animpeachment catastrophe ripens.
Like tariffs. Lay groundwork for Aug impeachment.

It is not uncommon at prison abolition meetings to hear from people who were victims of assault or lost loved ones to violence and found the remedies the criminal justice system offered them completely unsatisfying. Their stories are literally never covered elsewhere that I have seen.

The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms โnearly impossible.โ
I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy mediaโs own problems than it does about the legal profession.

So ...a lot of you will not go hungry as prices rise and food insecurity rears it's terrible head, and there's shortages.
This is good. Be happy about it.
But most of us have friends who will, and many of them will NOT TELL YOU ABOUT IT.

When I first learned that Gavin Newsom had been previously married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, I could not make sense of it.
But the more he opens his mouth, the more it makes sense.
He is NOT the future of our party.
And for the record, proper attention to concentration camps is not a distraction.

Can you help me understand how "postmodern relativism and nihilism" is different from right wing actors saying things in bad faith? Is there a reason you associate Derrida et al with pomo relativism and nihilism? How did the left reject more comprehensivly than crude rationalism and universalism?

Here's what's changed....
Since liberals decided that ignoring online racism is the way to go, nazis bought Twitter and Trump won twice. These are not coincidences. The rise of fascism in this era started with Gamergate and is directly related to "just block and ignore."

This situation is especially devestating because FDA has samples of bacterial strains from past outbreaks that uniquely allowed coordination of investigations that tied seemingly unrelated food outbreaks into identifiable locations.
