I wonder if the essays college students write as punishment for sexual assault are admissable in court.

I have a new piece of art in my home. It tends to move around a bit.
A black cat is perched on the top of a scratching post while drenched in a fall sun beam. A black cat is nestled in a cream sofa cushion while staring at the camera with yellow-green eyes.

Austin PD should arrest the ICE agents who fired into the vehicle for attempted murder and update the charges if the victim dies. Horrific. What's stopping municipal departments from enforcing basic laws?

Will journalists *ever* stop doing this dumbass wins/losses framing? This isn’t a game; this is about what’s legal and constitutionally protected. It’s not pick 6 in the 4th quarter.

It's tragic, unacceptable, and unnecessary. Those who can't secure housing quickly accumulate legal troubles (fines, vagrancy/trespassing charges, etc.) that can cost them jobs and eligibility for assistance.

In what context is "Abolish Ice" a radical position? In a context where everyone sees this, and feels confident that this sort of behavior will be punished. In a context where basic accountability systems are in place. An organization that encourages this behavior is impossible to fix.

Funny how everyone does the “we must stop divisive rhetoric” when a progressive gets nominated and not when the leader of the United States says Haitians are eating their cats and dogs.

A lot of people who enabled this cruelty are sitting in pews today asking the Lord to forgive their sins, bless their lives, and give them the urges He wants them to have to be good followers of Christ. It's impossible to understand what's in people's hearts and minds.

Genuine question. Why are we hearing so much about the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). From what I've read, they have 120K members. None of the candidates being described as part of DSA are members, from what I can tell. Are Dems who aren't essentially Reagan Republicans assumed to be DSA? 🤷

I’ve been yelling about it this all year. Municipalities still act like these are unfortunate incidents instead of what they are. They’re attacks on critical infrastructure. We’ve underinvested in modernizing essential systems and infrastructure while degrading cybersecurity.

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

It’s impossible to move the debate forward when one side is committed to upholding a disinformation-fueled, dehumanizing false reality that leads to the state-sanctioned street killings of innocent people. There are not two sides to this particular story. Full stop.

Every. Single. Day. This nation isn't serious about protecting children. Predators are operating under the cover of religion, public service, and other trust influencers while hysteria surrounding immigrants and LGBTQ+ humans grabs the attention.

The number of people unapologetically indifferent to death & suffering is sickening. Every story involves real people. They are humans trying to live modest lives in safe conditions for their families. A nation that spends trillions on war, policing & prisons has turned citizens' hearts to stone.

There are countless examples of this scenario. It's sickening and it persists because predators are shaping and echoing a narrative that diverts attention to vulnerable immigrants, LGBTQ+ humans, and anyone challenging this rot. It's past time to get serious about men who assault, rape, & exploit.

The slandering of education isn't being taken seriously enough. The knowledge and research that touch all of our lives are beyond what we can measure. In additional to all areas of knowledge having value, sometimes you need to master one thing to learn another.

How about we stop connecting everything to fighting? Fighting rarely solves anything. Our budgets, slogans, news stories, public policy, etc., are overrun with fighting. Decency asks us to value one another and to work as a community to leave places and others better than we found them. ❤️

Donald Trump inheriting a situation that was suboptimal but honestly fine, deciding to personally intervene, and making everything significantly worse at great taxpayer expense is a perfect synopsis of every single thing he has done as president both times.
