i feel like everything bari weiss does is treated like she's a network exec in 1973 when she's really just a LARPer at the helm of a particularly irrelevant brand while TV news is dying.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

I honestly think the reason is even simpler than that. Stephen Miller just likes murdering people.

Anyone who was paying attention during Gamergate recognizes these tactics.

“Oh *we’re* against doxxing, of course, but that person who got doxxed totally deserved it, and yeah, sure we’ve been calling for them to be fired and their lives ruined, but *we* didn’t personally do it.”

This pretty much captures the contradictions of the politics of Kirk and Turning Point: Of course we oppose doxxing and violence, but we will absolutely use inflammatory language, false claims, and enemies list that fuels threats and intimidation.
Several days after publishing the petition calling for Dr. Bray’s dismissal from Rutgers, the Turning Point USA chapter added an update saying that it did not support harassment or the doxxing of him or anyone else.

“I think that all death threats and doxxing are unjustified and not how political disputes should be resolved in civilized society,” Ava Kwan, a Turning Point USA chapter member, said in an email on Wednesday.
But she defended the broader point of the petition, saying, “I think Dr. Antifa, who believes in violence as a political tool, should be fired, of course. Taxpayer money should not fund the salaries of terrorists.”

For years, Turning Point USA has maintained a watch-list of hundreds of professors whom the group accuses of advancing leftist propaganda in the classroom. Dr. Bray is on the list.

Expand the court? Why?

Just forcibly send the conservative justices to a foreign prison. They will get treatment they said was legal and then six seats open up and we appoint decent people to them.

It should give clarity to democratic voters that when they finally manage to take back control, the first order of business must be to treat the SCOTUS Republicans like the traitorous fools they are.

Arrest them and send them to a foreign prison without trial. Because they said that was allowed.

Is it a real video of a real assault and abduction?

Destruction of property, assault, and kidnapping wrapped up in a civil rights violation package.

Throw the violent ICE thugs in jail! Chicago DA and PD need to step up and show the lawless losers to their holding cells.

In this video we have destruction of property, assault, and kidnapping (violent felonies). We also have warrantless search (a civil rights infraction).

We need to throw the thugs committing felonies in jail for committing felonies, especially when they have accompanying civil rights infractions.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

The South Carolina senator behind SB 323 says his bill wouldn't outlaw birth control.

But we found a pamphlet he wrote that says “all forms of the birth control pill” kill a “human being.”

I can't stress this enough: opposing birth control isn’t a fringe position in the anti-abortion movement—it’s the norm. 'Mainstream' groups like Students for Life say so explicitly on their websites!

But because mainstream outlets don't report on it, most Americans don't know

Hundreds of people arrested by ICE agents around Chicago over the past few months could be released, according to a new fed. ruling.

Hundreds Could Be Freed From ICE Custody After Warrantless Arrest Ruling
Immigration attorneys said they have already identified more than 200 arrests that potentially violate the consent decree. However, they said those 200 arrests are likely "just the tip of the iceberg....

You're giving up before you try.

The way we win is by taking these cases to state courts and prosecuting them. We ignore illegal precedent, not roll over before it.

We should also have blue states pass laws saying QI doesn't exist. Override the murderous fantasies in plain text.
fava.bsky.social
There is also no law or federal code that says assaulting peaceful protesters is part of their job. The 1st amendment would render such law illegal.

Assault is illegal everywhere. Arrest the thugs doing the assaults.
fava.bsky.social
The law doesn't say that! There is no text of any act of congress that says that! Even the sick fantasies of SCOTUS only granted that extralegal immunity to President Trump. Just him, and that opinion it itself ILLEGAL. WE DON'T HAVE TO PLAY ALONG!

States must still uphold their laws.

We will save America by refusing to accept the lies and distortions. There are MANY plainly written clear laws that Republican judges are pretending don't say what they say. We don't have to go along with their lawless lies.

Assault is plainly illegal everywhere. Jail the thugs.
fava.bsky.social
Bullshit.

Laws are laws. QI is not real. It is literally just a fantasy of racist murderous Republican judges that people have been duped into believing.

Arrest the thugs for assault and prosecute them. Tell SCOTUS "fuck you make me" when they issue an illegal order based on QI fantasies.

No, we're going to defeat MAGA by shunning every last one of them (even our parents if they're part of it). Make a society without the hateful bigots.

We'll also win by getting our blue state governments to start prosecuting federal agents for their abuses. Jail the ICE thugs.
fava.bsky.social
We don't need to train the thugs who are beating our neighbors. We need to jail them for assault.

We have state laws against what they're doing. It's time to use them and lock these monsters up.
