Here are my concerns:
1. ending violence against women and children

5. crochet

I remember this thread, and my takeaway was "if that law boy is angry and NOT being snarky this org must actually be pretty awful"

Look, it's the Mets. They have one job to do. Make it halfway through the season, to get your hopes up, before collapsing.

None of the Mets' moves feel entirely indefensible (so far!), but that doesn't mean it's fun to watch your favorite players go. defector.com/the-mets-are...

Listen to the clip. Instead of immediately shutting him down when he lies that he hadn’t heard about the pardon of the Honduran president who was convicted of a conspiracy to smuggle 400 TONS OF COCAINE, Stephanopolous lets him spew insanities about how this one boat was the existential threat.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.
“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

dred scott, in their minds, established the united states as a place of tiered citizenship and permanent inequality among americans. it was a ruling that said, in effect, that all men *were not* created equal and would *never* be treated as such.

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

what follows immediately after the birthright clause? the privileges and immunities and due process clauses? and what follows them? the equal protection clause. all of this is explicitly to say, "the declaration is the constitutional law of the land"
