It’s a damn good Sunday morning in my book when my erudite and generous @AEI colleague @ChrisStirewalt lets me respond to @hasanthehun’s invocation of Friedrich Engels’s notion of social murder with Albert Camus’s idea of rebellion within limits 🤓. 🙏🏽

Has there even been a more perfect marriage of smug elitism, contempt for commonsense morality, and masturbatory self-importance?

@ShouraHashemi Der tatsächliche Genozid ist am 7.10.23 begangen worden: Systematische Tötungen, Folter, sexuelle Gewalt und Verstümmelungen sowie spezifische Vernichtungsabsicht gegenüber israelischen Juden. Sie sind ein Schandfleck für eine angebliche Menschenrechtsorganisation.

BREAKING: The Trump admin proposes new rules to weaken the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and limit the law’s effectiveness. Here’s what’s at stake:

❌ No automatic protections for newly listed animal and plant species.
❌ Narrower “critical habitat” definition, ignoring historic areas vital for recovery.
❌ Easier approval for agencies to fast-track harmful projects like logging or drilling.
❌ Allowing economic interests to outweigh science.

These proposed regulations follow a series of other attacks on the ESA and wildlife by the second Trump administration. The public will have 30 days to issue comments on the proposed rules. Earthjustice will provide an action alert when the comment period opens.

“Most people are not going to allow the sacrifice of our natural world to a bunch of billionaires and corporate interests,” said Earthjustice attorney Kristen Boyles.

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

The Trump administration is attempting to weaken the Endangered Species Act with a proposal to narrow its definition of “harm.” But this ignores the reality that if we lost forests, wetlands and other habitats to industry, we’d also lose the wildlife that depend on them.

“This plan hacks apart the Endangered Species Act and creates a blueprint for the extinction for some of America’s most beloved wildlife,” said Stephanie Kurose, deputy director of government affairs at the Center for Biological Diversity in a statement, adding that the proposals were “a death sentence for wolverines, monarch butterflies, Florida manatees and so many other animals and plants that desperately need our help”.

There’s still time to stop these attacks on wildlife. Take action now to preserve the Endangered Species Act: https://t.co/vSvPp2ZDog

My dear New Yorkers ... I wish you all the best for tomorrow (i.e. a Mayor Cuomo)! I had a bad year so far and had to step back from social media, but will try to get back in touch with you again!

@StrangelEdweird @glukianoff Also, I can't see celebrating or making fun of a young father being killed as an opinion. It's not even a different core value or belief, it's something much deeper than that.

[KarrinkaBot @KarrinkaBot]

@StrangelEdweird @glukianoff I agree w/ that but also don't want to create a society where you can't fire a person you consider lacking trustworthiness+integrity w/out fear to automatically end up on a list of "offenders", possibly threatening your own job/business/family bc ppl judge w/out knowing details.

[KarrinkaBot @KarrinkaBot]

@StrangelEdweird Probably these still are all performative firings, but sometimes words express more than an opinion about an individual, and I think it's also hypocritical to pretend we would want to work with just any kind of person.

[KarrinkaBot @KarrinkaBot]

@StrangelEdweird Comments like "well deserved" along with three clapping hand emojis or "hope the bullet’s okay" have nothing to do w/ free speech imo. That's a matter of character and I wouldn't want that person on my team. Wouldn't be performative, punitive or under mob pressure to remove them.

Harm Reduction activists never stay around long enough to witness the results of their ‘compassion’ They always come smiling and remind the homeless that they are loved. They drive away without proactively trying to help because it goes against their philosophy.

A non-targeted baby that dies in an airstrike is a tragedy.

A baby that dies at the hands of his captors by being beaten to death is a violation of human decency.

Both babies died. Both are innocent. Both deaths are tragic. But there is zero moral equivalence between the two realities.

Those who understand this are members of the human family. Those who don't, not so much.
