Corn-fed T&S leader. I used to work at a place that made a place like this place. You have rights; fight fascism; use semicolons; vote.
If you cannot support a legally correct argument challenging a massive government overreach that criminalizes a wide range of protected speech, just because it's made by The Worst Guy You Know and the law purports to cover an unpopular thing, you don't have principles, you have teams.
I'd bet McGee has to stay two-way, but yes please
@mikeolson I’ve been saying for a while that the city should make McGee and the streets around Berkeley Hort one way and add angled parking all around the block. Replaces all the shop parking and let's the bike lanes fit on Hopkins.
Dear ABC and @espn.com, Please don't edit out the boos Monday night at MSG. ~ All of us
I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.
Trump is completely unhinged. He's lashing out with no plan, threatening horrific war crimes after already bombing a girl's school. It's making the entire world, including the United States, less safe. Every Republican enabling him is responsible. Congress must act.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoTrump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”
Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached. When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?
Trump’s unhinged threats of violence and genocide are inexcusable. He is a warmonger, escalating the conflict for his own profit and consolidation of power. My Republican colleagues can't keep turning a blind eye. He must be stopped and impeached.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 4mo agoBreaking news: President Trump said “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran doesn’t accept his deal to open the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. Eastern time tonight, pledging destruction by midnight if not.
Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
1. Elon didn't create PayPal. He sucked at his job so bad, that Peter Thiel fired him. Seriously. Look it up. 2. Elon did not found Tesla. He bought it, then pretended that he founded it. Seriously. Look it up. 3. The hyper loop makes zero sense and is fake. High speed rail makes sense and is real

Every one is mad at Spelling Bee guy (Iamb skeeting in the reason why) If you want to register your outrage Trochees are the way to let it fly
This is - without exaggeration - absolutely batshit crazy nonsense.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 7mo agoJudge Kacsmaryk writes to say that the First Amendment only protects "public discourse necessary to self-government," as he slurs drag and holds it not protected.
The narrative that she used her vehicle to charge at or attempt to attack officers is false. And it's not "well you see it one way, I see it another" false. It simply is flatly contradicted by every available fact on very clear unobstructed video.
Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.
A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty: My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media. Huh? When did I say that?!
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.
"Elon’s entire incoherent free speech framework collapses into a single coherent principle: speech I like is protected, speech I don’t like should be punished. This is what happens when someone who never understood the actual principles of free speech tries to cosplay as a free speech absolutist."
Three Tweets That Capture The Entire Elon Musk Free Speech Con
We’ve spent years calling out what a hypocrite Elon Musk is on free speech. But sometimes the universe Elon hands you a gift: three tweets in the span of a little over a week that demonstrate…

I've been thinking about this bit and steeling myself for the start of this discourse all day.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

I overcame a year's inertia and finally cancelled last week. Harder and harder to be shocked these days, but this one is mask-off nuts.
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌@chanda.blacksky.app · 11mo agoYou guys have to read the termination letter that @washingtonpost.com sent @karenattiah.bsky.social because they essentially accused her of anti-white racism because she mentioned that Charlie Kirk was a white man 😵💫 Then they called her a “risk.” 🤡 karenattiah.substack.com/p/why-washin...
Oof. I miss the Durbin who pushed legislation to promote openness and *prevent* platforms from capitulating to repressive governments
Evan Greer@evangreer.bsky.social · last yr.Durbin is right. Companies like Meta won't do the right thing unless they are forced to do so But repealing Section 230 will literally just solidify the monopoly power of Meta by killing off smaller alternatives like Bluesky and Mastodon, while opening the floodgates for censorship. So... wtf man
I was told these people were “free speech absolutists”
Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social · last yr.Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.
can’t believe I voted for the leopards sparkling my compliance in advance if it champagne from I am not going to survive another month of these posts
