‘Social media is not real life’ Ok, then why are all the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men desperate to own and control it? Why did the fact that another country owned a popular social media app necessitate congressional hearings and provoke bipartisan national security fears?

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters”
James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

And then give himself an “A+++++” on the economy.

Two heartbreaking shootings took place this weekend. One country said “never again!” The other said “welp, just another day in a great country”. There are solutions, the US government just values money over human life. We don’t need guns, people just want guns.

Gender — and restrictive gender roles — are core to authoritarian projects. Society uses concepts of gender to sort people. Data both reflects and imposes these social definitions.

Some people are wild. The "I don't want to talk about politics" crowd just cannot help but give their opinion on everything, but then get mad at YOU for responding to their opinion with your own. And then complaining how people "can't accept other view points anymore". Just... ?!?

This is a startling read of history & precedent. He has a lot to distinguish. But for him, Supreme Court precedent isn't very relevant when its not tied to originalist reasoning? & the Alien & Sedition Acts are *positive* evidence for how to interpret the 1st Am? Bring back seditious libel, anyone?
