This seems impeachable but per Trump v US invocation of the insurrection act is a core presidential power so absolutely immune and giving an interview talking about a core power is absolutely immune and are we fucking getting it yet, that the Republican Party is engaged in an ongoing insurrection?

There’s a paradox of entitlement where folks demand better service, response time, and customisation to their tastes from smaller rather than larger providers. That only really works when the price is higher and the volume is much lower for those providers. 1/6

We need to stop reaffirming that we don't expect Trump administration figures to face legal accountability for their misdeeds. Expectations produce reality. We need to start creating the expectation that they in fact will—indeed, must—face legal accountability.

This is a misread of the loophole in NY law (which still has to be closed). If someone is intoxicated past the point of consent but is still conscious, then they are considered capable of consent as long as they imbibed the intoxicating substances willingly. Unconscious people still can’t consent!

I lived in Flatbush that year. It's a Black neighborhood. You'll see Orthodox Jewish men (never women) in the streets often, and if you learn Hebrew you'll hear the racial slurs they use to describe my old neighbors. They don't live in Flatbush, so why are they there so often?
