“As I remember it, the Civil Rights Movement had no arrests, the Vietnam protests were peaceful, and no bricks were thrown at Stonewall.” That’s how a lot of you sound this week.

I’m sure her heart was in the right place, but by explicitly breaking the rules of the bus Rosa Parks had more than a little in common with January 6.

For context, students at Mifflin last weekend flipped over a car and there was essentially no police response.

University of Wisconsin right now. What a sight. People have underestimated these students for too long.

“Neither the Hague nor anyone will stop us” should be a sentence that shakes the entire world.

Israel knows they are committing genocide, they know they have been allowed to commit various atrocities w/ no repercussions and they will continue to do so.

BREAKING: SCOTUS will hear Johnson v Grants Pass, a case about if homeless people can be punished for using things like pillow and blankets when sleeping outside if there are no safe shelters.

This is the biggest SCOTUS case about homelessness in decades.

threatening to burn down the home of someone threatening to make you lose yours is actually a pretty reasonable & uncontroversial response. good on ron perlman

@danv9119 @KarlGage @mikekimelman @ChrisMurphyCT Okay so you’re Actually arguing that the Cause of inflation is an increased money supply, then? That sounds like an actual, substantive argument. It’s even partially right, though that perspective misses the importance of productive capacity and supply of goods and services

[Clayton Cavanaugh @RealCavanaugh]

@danv9119 @KarlGage @mikekimelman @ChrisMurphyCT My guy, your argument isn’t analogous to “masks didn’t actually do anything,” it’s just “you know those things everyone’s calling masks, they’re actually called hats”

[Clayton Cavanaugh @RealCavanaugh]

@danv9119 @KarlGage @mikekimelman @ChrisMurphyCT It’s wild bc it’s not even a substantive hill you’re trying to die on here. It’s like trying to debate about apples—the shiny red things—and the other guy just for some reason insists on calling those shiny red things elephants. Like how useful is not using the term we all use?

[Clayton Cavanaugh @RealCavanaugh]

@danv9119 @KarlGage @mikekimelman @ChrisMurphyCT I’m sorry, so your argument is that your personal definition of a term (pulled from 1913?) is the real one, and the widely accepted and used definition for that term, as defined by general understanding and the entire academic community for the relevant field of study, is wrong?
