Why Hazing Makes Better Men
“Young men today are inundated with mixed signals, asked repeatedly to act against their instincts,” writes Catherine Morrissette.
Last week, a series of police body-camera videos from a fraternity basement at the University of Iowa went viral. But the internet got it all wrong.

"The only way the opposition can get elected is to cheat" is an authoritarian rationale for a one-party state. There is never unanimity in any polity, and the minority always deserves a voice.

The positive reaction from Republican lawmakers far eclipses Trump on the disgust meter. I mean, we know what Trump is and always has been but I'm sure Somalians voted for some of these losers to represent them in Congress. 🫤

Trump leans on a great number of guests. He has to. Economy is terrible. He's unpopular. #SOTU

It's not just that this 'speech' is atrocious in writing and childish in delivery.

So far ... it's boring.

The worst thing for a carny in the middle of his spiel.

No tax on Social Security is one big not-so-beautiful lie. #SOTU

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

It's estimated that it would take about 40 billion dollars a year to solve world hunger.... we could get that just from taxing one company properly.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

I'm so sorry, Jen. Montrous is the right word. A good friend lost her mom to ALS, and I lost a pastor to this disease. She's been a staunch advocate; I've been privileged to help her a bit with grassroots advocacy over the years. ❤️

A cruel disease steals another talented life too soon. Grateful for the #ALS advocacy work of Eric Dane.

I implore you to support funding for scientific research for diseases like ALS, which disproportionately affect our veterans.

Ji:
Yoon argued that the reason for declaring emergency martial law was to protect liberal democracy from a National Assembly that, through budget cuts and impeachments, was obstructing the goverment and was no different trom anti-state forces; therefore, he contends, this was not an act aimed at disturbing the constitutional order.
This Court finds, however, that such considerations amount only to motive, justification, or stated rationale, and cannot be regarded as the objective purpose of sending the military to the National Assembly.
The Court concludes that, under the pretext of those reasons, the defendant mobilized the military, sealed off the National Assembly, and sought to paralyze it so that it could not perform its functions.
The declaration of emergency martial law and the attempt to blockade the National Assembly were the means employed toward that end, and these must be clearly distinguished from the asserted justification.
One cannot steal a candle on the pretext of reading the Bible.

Ji is citing cases of insurrection led by leaders in countries to make clear that even a head of state can commit treason and insurrection against the state - which directly counters Yoon's argument that he cannot be charged with insurrection.

The arguments this Korean judge is making against the claim that the president can’t commit insurrection are amazing, and if the US had a legitimate Supreme Court, they would have recognized the same thing:

The court has found Yoon Suk-yeol guilty as the ringleader of the insurrection. Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun has been found guilty of performing critical duties in the insurrection.

Better late than never for my #AshWednesday joke.

BOY, quizzically, while cleaning his bedroom: Mommy, is it true that we come from the dust?
MOM: Yes, honey.
BOY: And is it true we return to dust when we die?
MOM: That's right.
BOY: Well, there's somebody either comin' or goin' under my bed!

What does Ash Wednesday mean? Christian holy day is first day of Lent It's Ash Wednesday, marking the start of the Easter season for Christians. So what does Ash Wednesday mean? Here's what to know.

"The holy day gets its name from the ashes placed on the believers' foreheads in the shape of a cross. The ashes are usually accompanied by the words "remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return..."
