Cornell University should be razed to the ground and turned into a protected wildlife refuge, with a small (square footage wise) but federally well-funded rape crisis center at the very edge of it. Nothing less will suffice.

I was totally baffled by this—I thought maybe I missed something. Because why would she go to police if she said it was all consensual? It turns out the DA was playing language games: Doe described what happened to her, and *prosecutors* made a legal determination that what happened wasn’t a crime.

Ithaca/Tompkins County NY District Attorney Matthew Van Houten needs to be disbarred and lose his law license FOREVER. On top of that, he should be physically and psychologically SHUNNED by his community. Run away and hide, DA Van Houten. You are not wanted anywhere in society.

Not sure it’s tenable if, going forward, every president knows that so long as they have firm control over DOJ, enough loyal senators to avoid removal, and are willing to issue blanket pardons on the way out, they can break any law they please while in office.

I had 2 flights delayed in WI and 3 flights delayed in O'Hare today. The word from everyone I spoke to was this was caused by Trump's own travel. Whether or not that's true doesn't matter. Every person seen here in O'Hare absolute shitshow/fire hazzard was saying it.

The connections being drawn between the Cornell 7 and Brock Turner bring up something crucial: The outrage at Turner’s insanely light sentence has ultimately made it impossible for him to blend back into society. Where legal redress failed, community stepped in to make sure no one would forget.

I've been thinking about this photo all day. Considering how the Trump administration is constantly ranting about Communists, and how Pete Hegseth is always nattering on about our WARFIGHTERS, it's genuinely crazy to me that this image exists. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-kowt...
Screenshot of a Getty photograph captioned: "U.S. military personnel unroll the red carpet at the bottom of the stairs of an Air China plane carrying Chinese President Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on September 23, 2026. (Kent Nishimura / AFP via Getty Images)" Above it, also in the screenshot, is a paragraph of text from a Bulwark article that included that picture. The text reads: "That was certainly the sense conveyed by the ceremony as a whole. There was the televised spectacle of American service members on their hands and knees, smoothing wrinkles and picking specks of dirt off the 100-foot long red carpet that had been unrolled for Xi, as Chinese officials looked on approvingly from the door of their airplane before their leader descended the stairs."

IIRIRA remains one of the most authoritarian anti-freedom, pro-mass surveillance laws passed by the U.S. Congress in the last 50 years. A legacy of the height of "tough on crime" in the 1990s that is still shaping governance and freedoms today.
he Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsi- bility Act (IIRIRA). The relevant IIRIRA provision, 8 U. S. C. §1373, contains two notwithstanding clauses. The first, section 1373(a), provides: “Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local govern- ment entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the [DHS] information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlaw- ful, of any individual.” The second, section 1373(b), which is captioned “Additional authority of government entities,” similarly provides: “Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, no person or agency may prohibit, or in any way restrict, a Federal, State, or local govern- ment entity from doing any of the following with re- spect to information regarding the immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.” Th

True
NYT article: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday criticized the Supreme Court’s use of its emergency docket, saying that the court’s willingness to fast-track high-profile cases posed a threat to its standing among the American public.

The court, she said in a speech, “cannot expect the public to have faith in our judicial system if, without clear explanation, we are consistently greenlighting harmful acts” without a full hearing.

Justice Jackson told the audience that there was “a serious concern” that the Supreme Court’s handling of its emergency docket was “having an enormously disruptive and potentially corrosive effect” on the federal court system.
