A star scientist showed that better genetics lessons could reduce racism. It was the death knell for his career Brian Donovan had persuaded high school teachers and education researchers that prejudice might be ended by changing how genetics is taught.

By the way, I just want to remind you that until we are shown otherwise, this is effectively the Republican agenda.

Please keep at it. You are one of the few candidates I've been truly excited about in my lifetime.

There's an astonishing pattern of seemingly normal dudes just getting publicly criticized for some bad position once, and deciding to become an absolute right-wing shitheel so no one ever expects morality from them ever again.

Hours after Border Patrol agent Charles Exum shot Marimar Martinez five times, Gregory Bovino emailed him to ask he continue working past retirement: 

"In light of your excellent service in Chicago, you have much yet left to do!!" he wrote.

in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Asked how hard the race would be, Mills deadpanned.

“None of it’s going to be easy, but hey, what are they going to do to me?” she said. “I’m too old to care.”

The 78-year-old Janet Mills has a very inspiring campaign message: "I'm too old to care."

They entered the country legally. They had a pending asylum case. They had zero criminal history. They were going to the hospital to address their child's nosebleed. Now they're all in a cage somewhere down in Texas.

Civil litigator here with years of experience of business people’s emails to each other in disclosed evidence for disputes.

As a general rule: the senior the business person, the less effort they put into emails, and the more effort expected from those reading them.

Effectively a mark of rank.

I want to point out that this is your reaction to anyone not immediately and gushingly agreeing with you that the dicks on Blueskt are mostly tankies.

I assume you don't talk to people in real life like this. If you want to cultivate respectful discourse on Bluesky, consider setting the tone yrslf

I'm old enough to remember when tankie on the internet meant a communist who unironically thought Stalin and the Soviet Union did nothing wrong, and broadly supported authoritarian state policy to achieve socialist goals. I haven't really seen many of them here, so I presume you mean something else

I'm glad you feel that way.

Simply that not every dick on the Internet is a 'tankie'. Dicks come in a rainbow of varieties.

There are definitely people who want the Democratic party to pick a program that Liz Cheney would feel comfortable getting on board with. I think the influence of those people is widely exaggerated, but they definitely exist.

There are also people who rage about any criticism of the Democratic party. As if it's not possible to vote for a party and still demand it be better than it is.

I just had a first run-in with a lot of very angry Dem zealots for daring to say whoever Democrats run in 2028 shouldnt have been involved in obfuscating Biden's cognitive issues during the campaign, and that it was a fact that Biden circa 2024 was not the same as Biden circa 2020.

Republicans in New Hampshire are currently advancing two bills which would allow landlords to evict anyone 'not lawfully present' in the United States, and make it a felony for undocumented immigrants to not affirmatively disclose to their landlords if they are undocumented.

I know it's much more comforting to view the world in absolutist black and white, but it's possible for someone to vote for Harris and simultaneously feel the Democratic party failed to give her or any other candidate the best chance to prevent our current fascist hellscape.

Hot take: it's possible to simultaneously believe 2 people shouldn't be president, just as it's possible to feel one of those two people who shouldn't be president would cause more harm to the country.

Did you seriously just 'fake news' that voters felt misled about Biden's capacity to continue the job?

It's not his stutter that concerned voters. We need to be honest about what the issue was; he repeatedly struggled to recall words, mixed up names and dates, all the regular signs of age-relates cognitive decline. And 6 months after the election it came out he was suffering advanced stage IV cancer.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.
