So the thing about human rights - literally, the whole thing about them - is that they are everyone's, regardless of who they are, where they are from, and what they do.

Americans love blaming any increase in gas prices on the president, and it’s usually not the president’s fault—because no one controls gas prices—but this time the increase in gas prices really is the president’s fault, directly caused by his entirely unnecessary policy choice.
Indeed, Clinton, W Bush, and Trump were all born in the span of three months—Trump in June, Bush in July and Clinton in August. The Summer of Presidents.
Presumably he’d be replacing Alito in this scenario, but otherwise, yeah.
Why do they all have to do the stupid thumbs up all the time?
“Mr. Speaker, the State of our Union is… *checks notes* Delaware? Really? Uh, congrats, I guess.”
And the guy who invented it was… a plumber???
As an aside, what you’re describing is exactly what Biden did re: student loans, and Republicans howled about it for the rest of his term.
It’s a tired trope at this point but seriously, imagine if Obama said that.
“That was SCOTUS”—yeah, it was four justices appointed by Democrats, plus Anthony Kennedy, who was there because Democrats voted down Reagan’s preferred pick and demanded a moderate.
“False herring” is stupid, but the most dishonest & manipulative word here is “now.” As if this is some novelty. But warrants for entering homes, like cops who show their faces & badges, is how we’ve done things for 250 years. The radical novelty is suggesting we STOP doing these things.
Yeah, try showing up to the polls wearing a vest that says “VOTER” and refusing to identify yourself.
They even said they were doing it! “We don’t want to bet against Ralston but we still have Republicans winning the Senate so yeah.”
Ten of the last sixteen Vice Presidents have at least been a major party nominee for president.
I have to imagine it’s just old people who still have fond memories of JFK and RFK Sr.
I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.
Strictly speaking they revoked a *legal* finding that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and welfare. They can’t “repeal” the underlying science, of course, but they effectively surrendered the government’s ability to do anything about it.
It’s catchy… but it’s also disappointing whenever it comes on the radio because I’d rather just listen to “Werewolves of London.”
Kid Rock's dad owned multiple car dealerships and he grew up in the suburbs of Detroit. Bad Bunny went from bagging groceries and recording his songs in his room to winning multiple Grammys. Which one is the better encapsulation of hard work and the American Dream?
This will so insanely cool.
I could understand why, in 2016, some people could vote for Trump on the premise that he’d be more moderate in office than he sounded on the trail.
I don’t understand anyone who still voted for him on that premise in 2024.
Remember when "America has many groups of people in it and that's good and makes us strong" was an uncontroversial - even cliched - viewpoint that was universally endorsed across the political spectrum?
We can go back! We just have to get rid of the tiny handful of bitter, angry men in the way.
The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation
If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"
I disagreed with Scalia about a lot of things but I remember being struck in some case where he wrote, basically "the government argues that being required to follow the Constitution would make law enforcement's job harder. They are correct. That is the point."
I'm being told it's a betrayal of trans people to vote for Newsom should he make it to the general.
I'm trans. I felt betrayed that a lot of people refused to vote for Kamala. It's made my life a lot harder she lost, even if she's not perfect.
Same would apply to Newsom.
And if Homer existed at all, he (or she) was merely compiling different versions of existing stories and changing details, not making them up out of whole cloth.
Republicans love adding seats to state Supreme Courts! They've done it three times in recent years. This latest court-packing plan will shift Utah's high court far to the right and possibly flip rulings on abortion and gerrymandering.
Democrats should take note that Rs have deemed this acceptable!
Also a lot of the people they’re detaining aren’t even here illegally.
Seriously. I’m a skeptic of the whole concept of judging historical figures by the standards of their time (certain things are just obviously morally right or wrong), but even by the standards of his time, he was judged to be a monster.
This is one of the funniest chart crimes I've ever seen: x.com/WhiteHouse/s...
