"The measure also establishes that “willfully” disseminating or helping a minor access material deemed “harmful” without their parental consent would be a crime... possibility of imprisonment of up to a year, and a fine between $500 and $2,500."

Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to watch this spectacular interview on the first amendment multiple times in order for it to have record pageviews.

This book was so incredibly, deeply formative for me. I found amazing new artists and broadened the feminist conversation I was constantly having in my own mind during my 20s. RE/Search did some fantastic work. Their books "Pranks!" was also really useful to my thinking about art and activism.

I think it's funny that this interview gave Chotiner a chance to reference this thing he tweeted about 4 years ago

This. They are turning the wealth the American people have created over generations into cash for their own dirty pockets. It’s obscene.

It’s an affront to the idea of a written constitution that this case will reach oral argument.

The disproportionately white blonde peoples are being kicked out of the tent of whiteness for being too nice to the N words

That's what I'm hearing here

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

This is grim. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I wonder how the Harper's Letter signatories are doing.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests

- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact

Reminder that “Say her name” was developed specifically to call attention to murders of Black women

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

you know how if you try and make LLMs more racist, they also end up more sexist and pro-genocide? this is the human example of that. evil isn't a single thing, if you start down one path you keep ending up at the same destination.

I can truly imagine a day when they will outlaw anything that reduces "natural boobage." (A law that will exist alongside a prohibition against going braless. It doesn't have to make sense.)

The reality for the other students is that they are no longer enrolled in a psychology class. It is a Psychology plus My Personal Christian Beliefs class.

Every class at OU is now a My Personal Christian Beliefs class.

Every time any student raises such beliefs, instructors have to accept them.

I am telling you that a large part of their dysfunction is that several Trump officials imagine themselves, constantly, as being in a social media sizzle reel where they display status and dominance over others. Their online personas are driving their actual behavior.

these people are just perverts for human suffering and every decade or so they hold society hostage with some stupid new complaint

In this parlance, to arrest a woman is to to RESCUE her. So when you see a story saying that “X number of sex trafficking victims were rescued by police” what that almost always means is: the cops arrested those women/girls. Put them in handcuffs. Put them in jail cells

. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges. Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct? A Exactly. Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]? A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted]. Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here? A Yes. Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury? A Yes, it was. Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order? A Yes. Q And what did he ask for? A He asked for immunity for [redacted].

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

Russell Brand charged with further counts of rape and sexual assault The alleged offences took place in 2009, the Crown Protection Service said

Just want to point out that this man was leading the whole Turning Point USA crowd in prayer last week.

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

Of course they are — good luck putting the cat back in the bag, Bari. All you’re doing is guaranteeing more people will see it. #CBSNewsmax

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

The banned 60 Minutes episode about the CECOT torture prison used by the Trump admin is now exploding across the internet. Be sure to watch so you can see the excellent reporting done by Sharyn Alfonsi & her team at 60 Minutes:

I’ve gotten a few replies like this today and I just want to point out
1. None of them have come from Palestinians
2. Violent antisemitism predates the existence of a Zionist movement, which began in Europe in an colonialist environment
3. These comments themselves conflate Judaism with Zionism

I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison
