These hurtful, threatening times fill me with sadness and anger. But I will not let my anger make me cruel or unfeeling, especially towards those I hold dear. Our enemies have not earned our kindness, but nor have they earned the right to strip us of ours.

In both the case of hormone therapy for minors and conversion therapy for minors, you see the left pointing at evidence that disallowing the former and allowing the latter leads to significantly higher suicide rates for kids. And in both cases MAGA says, who cares? This is about what parents *want*.

This. Is. Assault.

A younger and more naive version of me, in 2016, would have said the dangerous thing is not the lies, it's the gov't actions (such as deploying the Texas National Guard to Portland or Chicago).

That was wrong. The lies themselves are dangerous. We cannot have a democracy on a foundation of lies.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Understanding through metaphor….

Yes. Perfect. I LOVE similes as a way of understanding things and use them all the time in teaching!

Bari Weiss joins CBS with a mandate for 'balanced and fact-based' news CBS' parent company is buying The Free Press and installing Bari Weiss, its contrarian founder, as editor in chief of CBS News.

"...a mandate for 'balanced and fact-based' news..." is nonsense; like a requirement for donut-rich, weight-reducing diet.

once again encouraging you all to support independent, worker owned, billionaire free News media when and how you are able

you! are! a! lawyer!

I fear that the legal community will act like Trump admin's lawyers are normal lawyers--like they'll get nice firm jobs and their law schools will invite them to talk to students, etc--but the lawyers facilitating Trump's lawlessness should be professionally and socially shamed

Leavitt’s statement here is so transactional, and this is the problem with Republican ideology, as led by the most transactional president in American history. They see no value or morality in anything you don’t pay for. It’s purely give-to-get.

Constitutional immunity doesn’t give him war crimes immunity…

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

My dude, YOU’RE the one who switched “judge” in the original post for “Court” in yours - then coming at Prof Vladeck because the statute says judge…?!?! IT WAS A JUDGE WHO DID IT.

个 Post ••• Stephen Miller • @StephenM X.com The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks. 1:59 PM • 10/4/25 • 5.1M Views 10K 27 21K 83K 2.3K 1

“Goering shouted, ‘This [the Reichstag fire] is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very night be strung up.’”

- Rise & Fall of the Third Reich, p 139

In fact, that guy’s comment makes me think he doesn’t have enough compassion, not an exhaustion of it

Wow. I just… wow. Hope is hard sometimes, and I love the earnest passion in her plea for us to be hopeful.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the bad guys know they’re losing, so it’s important to read it when they say it out loud.

And an under-used exclamation of excitement.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Republicans all need to be confronted with and asked to denounce this rhetoric. If they won’t, they get painted with this same hateful brush and must answer for it.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

The kid pulled something out of the pantry and said “is this what I like? Skibidy?”

It was peanut butter.

There’s also the doctrine of qualified immunity for law enforcement that gets in the way of actual justice
