Former ‘South Park’ writer Toby Morton has created a website to expose information about Cornell University’s administration in response to the group sexual assault case: “Accountability should not disappear when the headlines do. And we all know this headline will disappear.”

It's disgusting watching people buying into the "Tucker Carlson is making sense?!" bullshit and it's probably time to wrap our heads around the fact that the people susceptible to this are unconsciously fascist curious and just need the ugly delivered to them in an "acceptable" package

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

It must take so much energy to be as racist as Stephen Miller. Just thinking of different groups of people to get mad at for minding their own business and living their lives and figuring out how to make their lives worse

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

Lot of bad rulings today, but realistically this basically drags U.S. youth sports into a perma-AAU setting. Don't want your kid's dick and balls checked by the state because he grew his hair out? Sorry, the cops can just do that now. Ruling will just privatize and make expensive kids playing ball.

Big. I watched Kelly be one of the few Democratic lawmakers to enthusiastically applaud Netanyahu less than 2 years ago, at the height of atrocities in Gaza. That he - as a moderate with a finger in the wind - is taking this position is bad news for those seeking unconditional support for Tel Aviv.

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.
Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting.
She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said.
ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities.
After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.
