Doing my first show back in the states after a two month Asia tour and it’s gonna be tough performing for an audience that isn’t as familiar with American politics

You have to understand, it took a very long time to find this scintillating insight. The Framers buried it in the... very first part of the Constitution.

I honestly think one reason Millennials are so angry about all this is that many of us grew up during the brief period in American history where the official line was that we had won history *because* of our values, and most of us actually internalized that.

Whenever someone insists we can’t elect a woman president I think about how we went 219 years without electing a Black president and then we did. After all this shit I still believe in America.

Was there a congressional appropriation for this, or are we at the stage of openly robbing the treasury without any pretext at all?

Worth remember that this is not something that the Executive has the power to do in the American constitutional system.

“*the child's interest is more important than the parent's right to be an idiot*” is applicable in basically every “parental rights” claim. American policy is structured so that children are the property of their parents, and if children have to be maimed or die, that’s a fair price. It’s monstrous.

This is an extremely common thing and a serious reckoning with informed consent needs to take it into account. Also the fact that *the child's interest is more important than the parent's right to be an idiot*

They’ll probably just track them to add them to a CSAM and snuff film fans email list, but it won’t be tracked at all?

Exclusive: US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere The portal could potentially put Washington in the unfamiliar position of appearing to encourage citizens to flout local laws.

“…added that user activity on the site will not be tracked.”

The administration that let Elon Musk and a bunch of inexperienced chuds rampage through government databases while also working with Palantir to build Minority Report isn’t going to track people accessing their hate speech site? Sure.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

instead of quote dunking on awful AI videos consider blocking or muting the accounts who post them. leave a clean park for your friends and neighbors.

This is why the GOP can’t be saved, it needs to be burned to the ground and its ashes scattered by the winds.

In Alaska, we recognize Elizabeth Peratrovich Day. Her words really resonate today.

“Asking you to give me equal rights implies that they are yours to give.

Instead, I must demand that you stop trying to deny me the rights that all people deserve.”

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways
