Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

College freshman today were 6 years old in the 2012 election.
A student of mine (age 20) told me after class that he appreciates when I explain how US politics and media were different before, because the Trump era is all he’s seen.
This is what young Americans think politics is. It’s normal now.

I think that folks aren't seriously thinking about the implications of young adults who know nothing other than a country which has normalized MAGA politics, God help us all.

Over the last few years, you have seen campaigns of harassment of election and public health officials, librarians and educators. Now the people framing the attacks will be in charge of the federal government and it is getting worse. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/governing-...

Während Putins Besuch in Astana hackten Hacker den LED-Bildschirm und änderten die russische Trikolore in die Farben der ukrainischen Flagge.
Und damit wünsche ich euch eine gute Nacht. 😴

What are your thoughts on X claiming ownership of Infowars accounts? Should bluesky allow brands to own their accounts?

Rather than policing people's genitals, Congress should focus on spending, militarization, and attacks on our civil liberties.
Banning Sarah McBride from using the bathroom won't help anyone.
It's pointless political theater by those who would rather run on division rather than policy.
