Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

After 36 hours justifying the killing of Alex Pretti, Fox News suddenly changes its narrative

Fox correspondent Bill Melugin’s stark acknowledgement that "videos appear to show [Pretti] never drew his holstered firearm" was whiplash-inducing for anyone who had been following Fox’s on-air coverage of the killing -- and it marked a major shift.

The MAHA Report's Missing Children A weird document meant to "Make America Healthy Again"

I wrote about The MAHA Report and the main thing that it's missing: America's children.

All of the discourse around trans kids in sports is about the fundamental question "Should the government be wielded to bully children?" That's what the GOP wants to do, and that is how their objective should be framed.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Buttigieg: Nobody in Elon Musk's family is at risk from the kinds of economic or security harms that are going on here. They think all of this is a joke or a game because these are incredibly rich, powerful men who, frankly, don't have to worry about the kinds of things most Americans do.

It’s my favorite time of the year!

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Philly schools could be on the forefront of using AI. Here’s what that means. The district already has guidelines in place, but “Pioneering AI in School Systems,” scheduled to begin in March, will train staff in best practices and possible risks.

You can't be on the "forefront" of using AI in schools and use "best practices."

You also can't “be on the leading edge” and "mitigating against any risks.”

This is all wasteful, unethical BS distracting schools from their core missions.

A prayer for Monday Jan 20th, 2025 Dear God,

Thanks to @scuthbertson.bsky.social for making this the first thing I read today.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.
