I’m not sure you understand what principles are my friend
“I believe, in my bones, that trans people, queer people, people of all creeds and color have got the right to be treated with respect and dignity and safety at all times" says Paapa Essiedu, who plays Snape in the new 'Harry Potter' series. "That’s what I believe." vanityfair.visitlink.me/gOELO7

every congress produces exactly one (1) honorable Republican, who, despite having insane principles, actually *has* principles
Massie introduces articles of impeachment against Hegseth on the House floor and details the charges

Inventing Erich von Däniken from first principles (racism).

naked greed would be more respectable than this sort of fence-sitting cowardice, just say they offered you a lot of money and that was worth more to you than your principles
Then why are you acting in something that directly benefits Rowling and fucks over trans people?

Over on Xwitter, Talarico's victory has maneuvered evangelicals into doubling down on "God is a man. He's an actual male. Cry harder, libs" theology. Recreating the 4th century Audianist heresy from first principles.

🧵

1. Massie is a man of principle who takes principled stands

2. Generally speaking, his principles are pretty abhorrent
Interesting analysis of Massie’s relationship to the broader GOP rank and file. I agree that he speaks for a significant chunk of GOP voters, which is not great news for that party. And also, i learned that Massie is the godfather of “dildonics,” which…well, yikes. www.ms.now/news/thomas-...
The parable and paradox of Thomas Massie
Thomas Massie says he represents 40% of the GOP. And without him, he thinks those voters will be disenfranchised. He warns that Republicans may be about to make a big mistake.

Watches with the volume off. Well, he is obviously high but he is probably speaking about some Republican principles here.

Watches with the volume on. Oh... no.
I saw this clip circulating and pulled it for myself because it almost looked fake. Nope! It's real. What in the heck is going on with Don Jr's eyes? I don't think I've ever seen someone look this high on camera before.

According to Republican principles, you are not a real pastor unless you have been arrested for child molestation.

Don't tell me they have actual principles. I would be so pleased and surprised!

6. You cannot develop a security architecture founded (as it would have to be) on the principles of state sovereignty and territorial integrity when Russia has shown consistently for 35 years that it does not recognise these principles in relation to its neighbours.

fucking listen to yourself. do you even know what you're saying? do you have principles or are you just a zealot?

There is no coherent bloc in the West which actually believes in the principles of territorial integrity or sovereignty let alone international law in MENA.
It's important to be thankful for the 13 years of people talking about the importance of the Syria Test.

Thankfully all those people were sincere in their belief in a territorially contiguous, sovereign and inviolable Free Syria and that's why you see people talking about this issue all the time.

Oh no, Josh Hawley believes in nothing but Josh Hawley. Ron Paul at least had some (almost 100% terrible) principles.

HEDY LAMARR — born 112yrs ago today — escaped her Nazi husband by disguising herself as her own maid, became a top Hollywood star, then co-developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes - the principles of which are incorporated into today’s Bluetooth & GPS technology.

His stated principles are not his actual principles.
4/ “It seems very likely that Bill Gates has the power to influence Republic's behavior to make it more climate-friendly, even if that costs the company profits,” a legal scholar told us.

So why has Gates failed to make the company live up to his principles?

- You use politics against systems, for people you affect change through connection and understanding
- You can’t make community change by acting like a cop.
- Transformative justice principles ask that we don’t label people as Bad but rather mutually understand they have committed Bad Acts.

“The Future Civil Service programme has three central principles:

Delivery,
Innovation and Productivity, and
Pride and Trust.”

That’s actually five central principles…

The number of folks who’ve compromised their principles for this is so goddamn embarrassing.

Does Burnham take us all for mugs? Hiring neoliberal consultants to advise on getting rid of neoliberalism?

They’ll give the appearance of change while changing nothing.

A Labour leader with principles would just use their Socialist principles, but they died out years ago. Vote Green instead.

It must be freeing, passing through life unhindered by things like "the meaning of words" and "understanding political principles"
It probably feels so good to be this stupid
