Minneapolis, you have a cruel and petty mayor, despite what your east coast friends have been fooled into believing.

a group of people standing next to each other in front of a wall with paintings on it . Alt: "Jason figured it out? Jason? This is a real low."

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."

Red Flag Alert - Anti-Trans Genocide in the USA - #3 | Lemkin Institute

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".

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 that’s so frustrating isn’t really that we don’t learn from history it’s 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

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 β€œreasonable
qualification” 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.

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 Musk’s AI company.

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!

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.
