fuck the ADL
Minneapolis, you have a cruel and petty mayor, despite what your east coast friends have been fooled into believing.
I feel like Ted Danson's character in The Good Place except I'm pointing at Iran and saying, "Dubya figured it out? Dubya!?"
Because even George W. Bush looked at that cost-benefit and thought, "y'know, no, that's not a good idea."
And we all know what he thought DID look like a good idea.
I just keep coming back around to, "there is a reason that no previous president did this foolish thing and it was not because they were weak, woke cowards, but because they could read a cost-benefit analysis."
The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

We screamed and screamed this would happen.
I never connected the dots that the twilight zone episode with the little omnipotent kid and all the scared adults tiptoeing around him might be an analogy for how other countries have to deal with America
The Big Strong Mayor throwing the most vulnerable people in our city to the wolves. Shame on him. Blood on his hands.
The thing thatβs so frustrating isnβt really that we donβt learn from history itβs that we somehow learn the exact opposite thing from history and then go on television and say it with the confidence of someone who has been wrong about things for several decades without being corrected
it is sort of funny to me that there is a genuine case in academic biblical history that argued Joseph went to bethlehem was to get a lower tax rate
This is incredible. My dad wore a size 14 and those things were legit boats. Like too big. JD out here saying he's a 13 is a good bit.
between "spider-man and spongebob are the only US heroes" and "get ready for $200 a barrel" i am drawing the conclusion iran at least rhetorically really has us figured out
The case of temporary visitors was more complicated at common law. The parents, if lawfully present, were under the temporary protection of the sovereign. That is why one judge in a famous case, Lynch v. Clarke, held in 1844 that a child born of temporary sojourners was a citizen. But the rule was contested because of increasing international travel and the resulting dual allegiances. Joseph Story suggested that an exception for temporary visitors would be a βreasonable qualificationβ to the rule. Henry St. George Tucker in his treatise stated flatly that temporary visitors fell outside the common-law
I'm afraid I can't just sit here and say nothing when another law professor gives false testimony to Congress about the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Ilan Wurman has given false testimony to Congress, being fully on notice of the falsity. I do not think this is fairly debatable. 1.
Tweet from Oren Kessler: "Aside from Rama Duwaji liking those October 7 posts, it's unfortunate that the first lady of New York City's social media bio is what's known in the literature as a lie Duwaji was born in Houston and grew up there, in Jersey and in Dubai. She's not "from damascus" by any stretch"
Listen, if you're a supporter of an ideology that says every Jewish person on earth has a right to live in their ancestral homeland, even if their family has not lived there in many generations, you don't get to tell a second-generation Syrian-American that she doesn't get to identify with Syria.
Republicans are great because one day one of their Congressmen will say Muslims don't belong here and then the next day one of their Senators will say they're willing to sacrifice American lives in order to protect Saudi Arabia.
This administrationβ¦β¦π€¦ββοΈ
Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Muskβs AI company.
I confess "Cato Institute allies" did not seem realistic a decade ago, but here we are
SCOOP: White House tells House Republicans to stop talking about mass deportations
Theyβre giving away dollars for 87 cents:
1. We have "no reports" Iran has mined the Strait
2. If for any reason mines were placed, Iran must remove them or there will be "Military consequences."
3. Uh we just destroyed 10 mine layers.
4. But they were inactive! Nothing to see here!
Leavitt confirms that the current "ballpark" total of US soldiers injured fighting Iran is 150
Really moving piece on the importance of not forgetting about the ongoing effects of Armenians being ethnically cleansed from Artsakh. Leftists in the US have done a very poor job speaking up about this.
Famously upon the restoration of Charles II there was a parade held through London with prominent images of Dionysius; letting deposed Puritans know the boys were back in town, so to speak. I think we're gonna have to do that with Woke 2. Publicly cancel some prominent media men in the town square.
The story points out that the DoD actually spent less this month on lobster tail than it usually does under Hegseth and that no other DoD has spent this kind of money on lobster tail
lol
