'As Alito’s statement that the right of women to have control over their healthcare was simply an abstract idea that didn’t have to be protected suggested, undermining the post–World War II order has been a long-term project. 'In its place, Trump and his allies propose a dictatorship.'

So women relying on Row v Wade to organize their lives doesn't count? "[The] 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision recognizing the right to same-sex marriage...case is different from Roe v. Wade,[Alito] said, because people have come to rely on Obergefell as they organize their lives."

El-Sayed on Fox: "There is this argument you try to make often is that the best way to take this problem on is more war. How has that worked out for us? The war in Iraq which this channel spent years and years pressing -- has that made us safer? Are we more safe because of the war in Iran?"

Oh, holy shit. "A separate USA TODAY analysis of seven years of state data found Cornell received more than 1,200 reports of sexual and gender-based violence from 2018 through 2024. Of 51 cases that ended with someone being found responsible, 21 resulted in suspension, expulsion or dismissal."
