As a neurotypical I deeply appreciate how the spice & perspective the neurodiverse enrich the human experience. The brittle refusal of some neurotypicals to tolerate their own experience of the human experience exceeding some threshold of complexity is a personal & social weakness.

Holder: I don’t think Jim Comey stands any chance of being convicted. I think the same is true for Letitia James.

But to have a former insurance lawyer—someone who has never been a criminal prosecutor—present a case to a grand jury simply at the call of the President is extremely dangerous.

Die Zeit porträtiert eine „Whites Only“ Siedlung in Arkansas samt schicker Fotostrecke, und schreibt dazu in den Insta-Slides über den Gründer, einen Antisemiten und White Supremacist Überschriften wie „Orwoll, ein Rassist?“ (Sein Projekt wird auch von einem australischen Neo-Nazi unterstützt).

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"The law is unbreakable magic" has done so much goddamn harm.
This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."
