In U.S. history, some white people were enslavers & other white people were abolitionists.

Swalwell: Democratic attorneys general in these states have their own law enforcement abilities. And I would recommend, and I have recommended to them use those capabilities.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

It'd be fantastic if we could get an oppositional political grouping of some sort to do anything at all against fascism, besides just making more pretty speeches and filing lawsuits, wouldn't it? Here's a list of few thoughts I came up with at random in that dept: www.reddit.com/user/gberlin...

I'd be sympathetic to Trump's position if he weren't an arrogant moron and an index case of Dunning Kruger Effect. Because he's not wrong to say that Ukraine has to come to an agreement WITHOUT any ironclad "security guarantees" any better than what it already has right now

The problem with America’s legal system
To practice law:

To enforce the law:
—Here’s paid 13-week training & a gun
To write the law:
—0 qualifications needed, a billionaire can buy your seat

The Musk-Trump duo are the latest lethal cocktail mixed at the bar of casino capitalism. Take equal parts of Survivorship Bias and Dunning Kruger Effect, then pour and stir.

I believe Kara Swisher reported recently that in one of her last interviews with Musk, he explained how he had made peace with AI, after concluding that it was not going to go out of its way to "destroy" humanity, but only treat it like a bulldozer treats anthills in the way of Progress.
