I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

It’s also plainly absurd that someone just happened to discover the true meaning of the common law that just evaded everyone else for 800 years in a few weeks of work. I don’t even know what to do with that.

If given the chance, those civilians would’ve summoned a hurricane to push their boat to DC and then a tornado to fling their boat straight into the White House.

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it

In New Orleans and across U.S., anger over ICE raids sparks a 2nd American Revolution | Will Bunch Everyday folks are rising up to resist immigration raids with whistles, car chases, and noisy protests. Revolution is in the air.

There was revolution in the air in New Orleans when the Border Patrol invaded their city - as brave citizens blew whistles, chased convoys, and confronted masked agents of a tyrannical government

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

It’s a great tweet because it illustrates how building clout in the right, as far back as 2015, was so much about being racist that this guy made up a racist tradition to farm likes bsky.app/profile/jess...

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

β€œIt's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

The SCOTUS will be forced to adopt the logic and language of the Dred Scott decision to outlaw birthright citizenship. They will be forced into saying that certain people, by nature of parentage, are not citizens in contrast to the written law. We’ll officially have another Taney court.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

I’m all for simplifying & not getting lost in nuance, but the op is too much. Ppl like Trump just want veneration thru cruelty. Ppl like miller won’t be satisfied without actual ethnic cleansing. Others won’t be satisfied until women & lgbtq+ are fully subservient to cis straight men.

The Constitution is very straightforward on birthright citizenship. There's no ambiguity in the language, no other plausible interpretation.

The fact that this is a public discussion at all, and that the Supreme Court is taking it up, is on its own anti-constitutional bullshit.

Media is certainly an important component, but there are thousands of of immigrants and millions of allies who’d beg to differ on the non-implementation of fascism. Quite a few unis, law firms, biz conglomerates, & public officials too.

ICE Arrest Data Shows Many Immigrants With No Criminal Record In high-profile operations, more than half of those arrested had no criminal record, an analysis shows.

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.
