Vance is gonna get excommunicated via Twitter at this rate. And I'm here for it
BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.
This is a serious escalation.

why then are so many of the people lauded as genius innovators the most ignorant and incurious kind of brain-melted hack-ass fraud? a true mystery of our times
The research, which was commissioned by the Collison brothers, appears to support a position that individual 'geniuses' are the key drivers of innovation, rather than structural factors like education, capital formation and the rule of law

I keep saying this: if you agree to an interview with Isaac Chotiner, that per se means that you have no friends, because true friends would warn you that you're about to show your entire ass in front of the nation.

Fascists who have mobilized their base via white supremacy will continue to win until white people who nominally consider themselves opposed to fascism, under any banner, learn the critical importance of creating a constant ethic that is informed by consistent principles that aren't solely selfish.

"Trump is just doing what Obama did, & no one complained back then!" Given that this is a central talking point MAGA is using to reach people outside their hardcore base, it would be useful if a proper journalistic outlet addressed this comparison in an evidence-based way. I haven't seen one yet.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

Dem leadership is a bunch of "pick me"-ass bitches
Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.
I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I get that Rob Reiner was beloved but I'm not sure why DJT's statements re: his murder was the line in the sand for some ppl. POTUS was on record calling Somali immigrants "garbage" a few days ago and that state senator from MN was the only GOP pol to reject that statement

I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here:

One of the most striking things about these ICE/BP raids is not that they’re all kitted out for war while going after people who didn’t do anything wrong and don’t pose a threat, but that they always bring a camera crew.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

Please, every news outlet, stop using the word "deportation" when it comes to ICE's activities. Deportation is a legal process, they're kidnapping people and holding them illegally. Your terminology is normalizing what they're doing.
