I have discovered a planet. It is quite distant. There's a creature there resembling a bat, with unhappy feathers. Let's go.

Given that all Trumpian agencies consider any Black, Latino, and in many cases, women, to be less qualified de facto, it’s not surprising it’s corrupt DOJ found ‘discrimination’ at a med school that admits any Blacks and Latinos. Good for the new law school dean! #StandUpForYale #YaleStrike

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.
It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Yes. He wrote in a concurrence that ethncity could be a factor in stopping / apprehending. Later he claimed it would just be a minor inconvenience for a citizen, permanent resident etc to prove their status and go on their way. Which is obviously a sick joke.
