Easy to be so glib about doing something you know the department will get sued over when it will just come from dc tax payers and never touch your pension
NEW— DC Metropolitan Police just shared a tiny bit more body cam footage from the March US Institute of Peace raid in response to my FOIA lawsuit w/ @rcfp.org
One clip shows USIP President George Moose being escorted out.
Moose: You know we're gonna see you all in court.
MPD: Yea we figured that.

That’s the look of somebody watching you from the pier as your car sinks, with you handcuffed to the steering wheel, beneath the surface. And all she’s wondering is if that Chinese joint will still be open on her way home.

Thanks to my checkered past I’ve been in a few bar fights and had a gun waved at me once or twice. And I tell you that if anyone, man or woman, looks at you with eyes like that, you scram to the parking lot and count yourself lucky to be alive.
Really love how this guy posted this on TikTok thinking the woman who broke his Meta glasses would come off as the villain, as opposed to him, the guy recording her without her consent for social media content via a surveillance device made by one of the worst companies on earth
Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway
A New York subway rider has accused a woman of breaking his Meta smart glasses. She was later hailed as a hero.

I've said this before, but there are two kinds of people in the world.
- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something, and think it's unfair unless everyone else also suffers
- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something and don't want anyone else to experience that.

To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:
Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.
They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.
Small world.

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy.
Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality.
John Roberts > Roger Taney.
Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

notice how many of them mention, at ALL, the two decade history of disastrous previous Time Warner mergers, and the massive layoffs, price hikes, and quality erosion that resulted

A huge part of how erratic and disjointed they all are is that they’re all constantly rotating through a nonstop list of untested, unverified drugs and supplements of dubious origin and unknown effect. It boggles my mind that this isn’t mentioned in every single story about them.

We are going to need a law banning legacy admission preferences to be eligible for federal student aid.
Far more legacy preferences than diversity admissions. Original talk about “DEI” admits was that they would be given same boost as legacies to make up for admission bans parents had faced.
