This is the mugshot of a literal political prisoner, arrested, thrown in jail, then expelled from a public university, for yelling at Charlie Kirk supporters

"We stand firmly on the principles of the U.S. Constitution, including the protection of free speech. HOWEVER, that right does not extend to speech that incites harm OR UNDERMINES THE DIGNITY OF OTHERS." Emphasis added because holy fuck

Without major policy changes being implemented by compromised people, we are pointed directly at fascist oligarchy, as the super-wealthy have finally realized they can simply buy the opposition.

It's the height of presumptuousness to think you can toss a vulnerable minority overboard in an effort to win, then still feel entitled to their vote. Politics is about making decisions. When you cut loose Muslims or transgender people, they shouldn't vote for you. And you shouldn't cry about it.

All these Republican condemnations of Bo French are meaningless unless they include a call for him to drop out of the race. Their criticism without a call to action is just them saying, "Yeah, it's bad, but we would still prefer him over the Democrat."

Just want to say something about Bill's last sentence. Can you imagine having to tell people Bari Weiss is your boss? Like you're a fully grown adult person and you've willingly placed yourself in a situation where BARI WEISS decides if you have an income, healthcare, etc. Just zero dignity.

This is really insane. Dallas broke its record for most 100° days in September three days ago. Still going for at least another week. This record-breaking heat is taking place during the 3rd longest drought in the city's history. No measurable rainfall for almost two months.
