So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

It is now a near certainty that service cuts and job losses will happen. Make no mistake, these will be painful and impact everyone. You have every right to be angry, and the blame lies squarely at the doorstep of Governor McKee. Full statement from Save RIPTA ⤵️

Trump told the entire 10 million population of Tehran to evacuate; said the US has "total control" of the skies over Iran; threatened to kill Iran's leader; and posted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" And Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have not said a word yet.

📢 Protest Advice - Tear Gas 🪧 If you are protesting tomorrow - this video has great advice for preparing for and responding to tear gas. No makeup, contacts, etc. If you live near a protest site - consider placing buckets of clean water outside your home so protestors have easy access. 🪣

Pre-coffee hot take, The outrage over Sabrina Carpenter’s album cover is a manufactured moral panic rooted in purity culture trying to disguise itself as feminism. I didn’t fall for it back when people did it with Madonna, and I ain’t falling for it now.

Image of Sabrina Carpenter’s new album Man’s Best Friend. Featuring Sabrina in a black mini dress and black high heel shoes in her knees in front of the legs of a man in a suit. His hand is holding some of her hair in his fist while she looks directly at the camera.

the thing thing about the admonition to “not take the bait” is that while it makes sense in the context of an election — where you are trying to communicate a narrow set of ideas broadly — it does not make sense in the context of “how do we make this president as unpopular as possible”
