The Montana State constitution has a guaranteed right to privacy, which is what Row v Wade used to guarantee abortion access. It would take a Montana constitutional amendment to change it in Montana. Scotus has no authority over the matter.

The people who hated on Bill Nye were conservatives, and they did so because he explained concepts like Gender which they did not appreciate (i.e. does not fit into their reductionist misogynistic harmful ideology). Bill Nye is great.

Montana has Zooey Zephyr, the woman who was famously censured by the state legislature and received national coverage.

Usually when you hear about a settlement (and not a plea deal) that means this was a civil case and not a criminal one. A civil case doesn't weigh in on whether or not criminal charges will be brought.

If enough people push the Attorney General of that state to pursue charges they still could (Edit: it's been 14 years and the Statute of Limitations is 5 years for wiretapping which I think is the highest possible charge). But there is a higher standard for evidence in criminal trials. Not to mention the defense's argument would likely be that schools have the right to wiretap students' issued laptops, so the AG probably doesn't want this to go to court and end up enshrining such a right when it currently holds civil liability due to the civil case succeeding.

Thank you for your service, Twitterenoclast 🫡

This is his one strength. He can dog whistle as much as he wants because he always carefully chooses his words to add some sort of plausible deniability or innocent interpretation. So his base hears what he can't fully say out loud yet and the media has to carefully tiptoe around interpreting it or lose credibility to his base

Socialism is inherently democratic

"Savages", "Redskins”, "Squaw", and so on.

Some news headlines even refer to the second one as "the R-word":

CNN: The terrible R-word that football needed to lose

Politico: The R-Word Is Even Worse Than You Think

These are extremely harmful words with hundreds of years of genocide behind them. I imagine the only reason they aren't censored like the N-word is is because Native Americans make up a proportionally smaller population due to the effectiveness of the genocide, and because the reservation system is in contrast to racial integration as with American black people in so much as it limits interactions between them and racist whites who would overuse a dehumanizing phrase to the same extent.

Rizz is short for charisma, Ohio is a terrible place to be, and Skibidi seems to be a chameleon word with many different uses - cool, bad as in good, bad as in bad...

Yup, just wait for one single unflattering image of herself that shows something mildly androgynous about her and we won't hear the end of it.

Good thing Proton is a nonprofit then 😊

I hope so. But my brother in law is very gung-ho about RFK, and he would never vote R, so I'm worried personally.

I suppose you're saying that since Obama's mother was white that makes him part-white, but that's not really how race works in the US. Maybe it should be that way, maybe it shouldn't, but right now it doesn't.

That's fair. In the US we use those initialisms almost exclusively to refer to those people in casual conversation. They are Martin Luther King (Jr; civil rights advocate I perhaps arrogantly assume most people know of), Lindon B. Johnson (president), John F. Kennedy (president), Robert F. Kennedy (current presidential candidate/Democrat spoiler), and AOC is Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez

You just nailed the disdain - it's that she's a woman. And a minority, at that. We can never win those people over.

What about MLK, LBJ, JFK, RFK, etc? Lots of people get "initialized"
