The Justice Department argued in a new legal filing to the Supreme Court that Trump has unreviewable powers to flood U.S. cities with National Guard troops, marking the latest step in Trump’s authoritarian effort to militarize cities.

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

it's a HORRIBLE TIME to be a survivor of humbert humbert / epstein style predation.
everyone talks about this like it happens to OTHER people.
we need to with how common grooming is — from teachers, youth group leaders, camp counselors, uncles, etc.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Ugh.“Epstein’s donations to scientific researchers were unlikely to have exceeded a few tens of millions of $, Science mag estimated in 2019. Epstein told the magazine in 2017 that he favored ‘rebel’ scientists & criticized institutions such as the MacArthur Foundation as too ‘politically correct.’”
“‘The Epstein affair brings to light a much larger problem,’ [Naomi] Oreskes wrote [in 2020]. ‘It undermines the integrity of the research enterprise when individuals can pick and choose lines of inquiry that appeal to them simply because they can pay for them.’”

one of the funnier bits about moving from a blue state to a red state is that red states still need money to run things and will often just collect it via fees instead
so you pay less in taxes but everything else is more expensive and you don’t actually come out much better

Decent number of the California conservative transplants to Texas have been surprised to find 1: it's not actually that much cheaper, 2: our services suck, 3: they will still be treated like blue haired hippies just for being from California

I was driving to NYC last week and the Colin McEnroe show was rerunning this episode from 2017 in anticipation of the release of the new Frankenstein movie.
It’s an amazing analysis of the book and the movies and their place in modern culture.

A long and comprehensive opinion, but this jumped out at me: The judge accused the Federal Protective Service—which was called in to suppress the protests—of lying under oath to slander the regular Portland police.😬
DOJ recently admitted that other FPS claims in this case were objectively false.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

I'm always saying this. Signaling is inevitable, it's up to you what you signal
virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd
