@darlingube Putin has explicitly and unequivocally stated that his desire is to rebuild the Russian empire. You have to blind yourself to everything actually happening to believe Russia is not imperialist.

@wanyeburkett @LittleMammith @CameronCorduroy "tried to elevate the debate to a meta level" is a really convoluted way of saying "I was wrong about the initial point and am too proud to admit it, so I'll obfuscate by characterizing my ideological opponents as pedants to seem above the debate I just lost".

@MattBruenig @NLRBEdge When they said DEI would be co-opted as a tool of the ruling class, I really didn't think it'd be the ACLU doing it.

@LAGOP @WhatleyNCGOP Republicans regularly win statewide and district offices, have controlled the last two redistrictings, and run the Secretary of State's office since 2006. What in the world could you possibly be complaining about? #lalege #lagov.

@ArmandDoma Armand, the idea was started by users as a middle finger to Meta lobbying their competition out of the market. It's a consumer boycott.

@captgouda24 @NoahProoval Stopping, or significantly reducing, speeding *is* the socially optimal behavior the law is intending to produce. Speeding has significant negative externalities that the rich are not sufficiently deterred from. Like, what are you missing here?.

@ChaseAllanArch1 @TheFIREorg It's icing on the cake. Your nitpick of their press release is what's bizarre. Their actual lawsuit didn't focus on popularity and neither did the order holding the law unconstitutional.

Compare that to your the article you posted and ask yourself who has more evidence for their claim.

Glad this is starting to come to light about @PeteButtigieg's record in South Bend. Excessive code citations for 'blight' are a powerful tool for local governments to gut a neighborhood.

In more Counterman news, Justice Sotomayor tries to throw @deray a lifeline here. She's suggesting that the injured officer will have to prove Deray had the subjective intent of recklessness in organizing and failing to control violence at the protest.
The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

@_LCT @JayPloegman @WSJ The LSAT is, in many ways, an equalizer for people who didn't go to prestigious undergrad schools. All grades are not created equal; a 3.0 at Harvard will likely carry more weight than a 4.0 from a state school. Not sure how that's a win, frankly.

@olmaverick @signalapp This attitude is so counterproductive. "Only those who really care (like me, I'm smart) should have privacy. Who cares about casuals?". All comms are more private the more comms are even slightly more private. This is basic infosec.

Dumb Tulane students have been a part of Mardi Gras uptown as long as I've been going to Mardi Gras. Literally nobody alive has seen a Mardi Gras without dumb Tulane students. If you don't like dumb drunk people, don't come to the parades--it's a lot more than Tulane students.

@css1318 @janecoaston @Vanessa_ABee It shouldn't take a doctoral thesis to understand your political movement. Also, being lectured that 'no when we say abolition we don't literally mean abolition we just mean being a social democrat' is a fundamentally disingenuous argument style.

@NathanJRobinson I'm pretty sure AOC does not think that criticism of Israel is antisemitism considering she does it all the time. And I'm pretty sure she'll vote against codification of the IHRA definition, which is all that really matters. I'm just wondering why this matters.
