A $3 million settlement is major victory, but it can’t undo the damage to press freedom from the illegal raid on the Marion County Record.
If other communities don’t want to learn First Amendment law the expensive way, they must train police and prosecutors to respect press rights.

I had never heard of three-cueing… it comes along after I learned to read, thankfully.
What a nightmare.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Great thread and it starts with a great point. I’ll just go a little further: not only does California produce a third of American food, if we closed our borders and kept all the imports arriving at Port of Los Angeles… every Walmart would have empty shelves in a week.
California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?

some of the ‘flair’ I collected while working at the Cowboy Bar in Jackson. If Cheney was in town his driver would play pool at the bar in his off hours. Secret Service were cool & always had some great pins on them.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.
