Do you know who are the most precise scholars on the distinctions between a genocide and war crimes. The prosecutors at the ICC. Their indictment charges Netanyahu, rightly, with war crimes up to and including crimes against humanity. So not apologists. You know what charge they did not level? Yup.

DULF ruling is today. Monumental, as it could rule the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act unconstitutional. Aka drug prohibition aka the thing that killed 57,509 people in Canada in the last ten years. Incredible investigation here, consider supporting De Facto! ⬇️

Tens of millions of American motorists believe there's nothing wrong with texting at a stoplight. Or driving 73 in a 60mph zone. Or changing lanes without signaling. Or rolling right on red without coming to a full stop. But somebody has to do something about cyclists who don't follow the rules.

Jack Smith is testifying before the Senate this morning, and a GOP Senator just grilled him about being at an Atlanta Hawks game in ATL, and accused him of perjury bc he denied this was the case. Turns out, it was an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland. These are the most unserious people ever.
