Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

I'm sure it's the guy who took over the op ed section. Sounds like immature, bullshit writing and reasoning, which tracks.

This is running cover for fascist criminals via the "you made us be Nazis" excuse. The Bezos Effect is in full force.

And they're Nazis.

It's not irresponsible, it's their new mission under Bezos.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Posobiec isn't a nazi in some generic rhetorical sense of having fascistic impulses or simply being far-right. He is a full-blown Hitler-loving Jew-hating mask-off literal capital-N Nazi, with a longstanding public record to match.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

The essence of Bari Weiss: not reporting, but crude partisan propaganda presented in the form of reporting—and usually pronounced from the mouths of anonymous sources which likely don't exist. Expect this sort of prolefeed at CBS News soon.

The law protects the dogs and owners, but businesses really resent it when the accommodation gets abused. Service dogs are generally very well trained, as are the clients, so the dogs can and usually are not a nuisance in public settings. Pets, not so much.

Michael Clyne @thenoteheleft.bsky.social · 20h

As someone who has been privileged to have two service dogs over the years, I agree. This makes it harder for those of us who have a need and a highly trained dog to fill it to operate in public.

“The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared likely to strike down Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy by licensed therapists practiced on minors — a ruling that could affect similar laws in nearly half the country and make life more difficult for LGBTQ children at an already perilous time.”
