Only rich people have rights.

It takes brains and money for foreign kids to be accepted at American universities, so these are future movers-and-shakers in their home countries. When they return, they'll spend the rest of their lives justifiably badmouthing the U S of A, warning others to stay away. Like so much of what Trump is doing, the repercussions will live on, long after he's gone.

Excellent link round-up, by the way.

Good news I suppose, but court rulings are mostly moot, because everything gets emergency-docketed to the Supreme Court, where justice goes to die.

Not to mention, now the only legal sources of porn are behind some form of ID restriction which is going to make a lot of people who want to remain anonymous seek out alternative websites.

Oh, jeez. I hadn't connected those dots until this moment. Of course you're right — age verification laws will increase the circulation of child porn.

My brother just had his prostate removed, can't eat or leave his apartment for a week, and he'll probably never have a full-on erection again. My wife had to do dialysis three days a week, which left her weak and ruined after every session. A friend of mine is in pain 24/7, and has been for decades.

I am the luckiest fucker on earth, to have good health, and I've never done a damned thing to deserve it. For 50 years I ate almost nothing but crap food, and I'm flabby and never exercise.

Ain't no justice in this life. Ain't much life if you don't have your health.

Also blasts, blisters, bombshell, claps back, epic self-own, goes viral, melts down, mind-blowing, mocks, rages, rips, scoop, shocking, skewers, slams, staggering, stuns, and trolls.

JB Pritzker is from one of America's wealthiest families, yet inexplicably seems to not be a rat bastard. Like monkeys typing Shakespeare, it's unlikely but possible.

At the rate Trump's dismantling the Constitution, who really thinks there'll be elections in 2028?

I'd seen the headlines, but most — like TPM's — haven't included the name Brent Bozell. He's quite reprehensible, even by Trump standards. Young folks might need an introduction.

Thanks for this.

Thanks for this.

High cruelty payoffs! That's always the top concern for Republicans.

What is it lacking?

Plush carpet and air conditioning. No, it's working fine — fun for me, and a handful of others don't seem to mind.

That's what I've been doing for a year or so...

Breathtakingly cheery headline there, Associated Press.

Came here to say exactly that, but you beat me to it and also linked to a solid source that's new to me and goes into my regular surf cycle.

Medium has a paywall, which tends to keep me away, but Substack pays Nazis to post there. This makes the Substack platform distasteful for those who dislike fascists.

Makes sense. Thanks for thinking it through for me. (:

Why does the Institute of Peace have a gun safe?

These are not 'detainees'. The word is prisoners.
