The DA claims they knew nothing about the group text. They would have done a proper investigation if the victim had been the daughter of a Senator or a billionaire or something. But she wasn't, so they didn't bother. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

I can't decide which is worse: (1) he thinks this is a genius insight only he was smart enough to see, (2) he thinks Ukraine is unreasonable for not letting an invader just take whatever they want, or (3) he has no clue the damage he did to our alliances with Taiwan/Japan/other countries near China.

The thing I don't understand is why people think it's safe to let the government hate anyone. Do they really think the hate will never get around to them? Didn't they ever read that poem? The letter from Birmingham Jail? Watch _Star Trek_? How many times does the same lesson have to be taught?

Someone talking about how anti-trans hate is like Ursula LeGuin's story 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas', in which one person's rights are sacrificed entirely because it makes other people happy.

_Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass_ (1845). Tells the truth in plain language. Sometimes the truth is not nice, but that's no reason to live in ignorance. Because so much evil comes from treating people as things, everybody should read this book to see what comes of that.
