John Roberts' friend and defender is quoted in the piece, saying they shouldn't be shaming Roberts for the wreckage and ruin he's brought to this country because of "civility." The bullies always cry "civility" when the victims push back in the slightest.

I don't know, guys, maybe, instead of wasting your money suing prosperous states you're envious of so you can control women, maybe actually do your job & educate children, build infrastructure, offer people opportunities?

I mean, if Americans would get up off their backsides and I don't know, actually have a general strike rather than wring their hands, you might not be. Americans: 1776, we are so tough! Americans when fascism shows up: Oh noes, what do we do? Hint: When you're living on your knees, you RISE UP.

This is obviously disgusting in so many ways. Gonna highlight one: Servicemember beard exemptions are all on religious or medical grounds. They're either Sikhs (mostly South Asian) or have a skin condition related to shaving curly hair (mostly African American). "No beardos" is racist as hell.

“All the rapes - whether at infancy, or at 11, or 17 - were known to people in authority” You cannot stop a society that normalizes and trivializes violence against women by executing its victims. I’m not condoning her actions, but the system was designed to fail her.

One of the most harrowing things about academia, when you're a grad student, is how vulnerable you are to how you're perceived by more senior researchers. Your career advancement depends on confidential letters of reference & private discussions amongst faculty. You have no information or control.

I once went to a visit an eerie grave in the country with some friends in high school, one of whom was a youth pastor and kept talking about how he could dispel demons and stuff.

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

The only person who needed “rehabilitation” in today's hearing was my colleague who didn’t know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. Don't try to distract the American people from rising costs and people losing their health care, especially if you don't have your facts straight.

1. Garland had to sue for testimony of 14 critical witnesses w/o which there'd be no case. The court took a year to rule 2. Garland began investigating Trump when he got to DOJ. He did not wait 2 years 3. Twitter delayed the probe 4 months 4. The J6 cmte delayed it by another 2 months 5. SCOTUS

My opinion: the proscription of Palestine Action was done almost entirely for political reasons, to sound tough on the issue, without really thinking the consequences through. Another example of Labour thinking like an opposition, not like a government.
