Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

Gavin Newsom is a presidential frontrunner in part because he not only talked the talk about fighting Trump, but came up with and executed a plan to actually do it. Other Democrats should take note. Words and stern letters ain’t sufficient.

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process. We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.” But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

If Democrats don't IMMEDIATELY point to this crash as the result of Trump allowing Musk to drive out FAA head Mike Whitaker on January 20, leaving it with NO appointed acting FAA in his stead, & installing an INCOMPETENT as Def. Secretary, they should just stop going in to work. IT'S TRUMP'S FAULT.

I only post things about terrible companies on social media because I have a decent sized following and figure I might as well use it for good. It sometimes works. I’ve had companies cave after I tweeted about them. I’m also warning other people about terrible companies.

For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

If you see someone else in a mask, give them the nod. Encourage each other in the wild. We are the ones carrying the team, doing all the work for the group project. We are the ones doing the thankless task of enduring isolation and derision for everyone else's benefit (and our own, of course).

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

For the first time in over 30 years of public opinion polling, Americans’ views of the U.S. Supreme Court were more negative than positive, a July 2023 survey found. A narrow majority (54%) had an unfavorable view of the high court, while fewer than half (44%) expressed a favorable one.
Chart shows favorable views of Supreme Court at lowest point in more than three decades of public opinion polling.

Hard to predict what this rapid change in northwestern Syria will bring but a recent attack on Turkish jihadist mercenaries by SDF in Manbij Al-Bab area may indicate a willingness to see what 10 years of US Special Ops training can bring to a motivated liberation force.

It isn't "sharing your faith" when you're using legislation to do it. That's "forcing your faith." Jesus never gave us the right to impose our religious beliefs on anyone. When it violates human free will and matters of conscience, it isn't about Jesus. It's about control.
