Anyone who’s responding to college kids peacefully protesting by deploying hundreds of militarized cops or threatening to send in the national guard is escalating the situation and making EVERYONE, Jewish kids included, less safe. 1/

There are people on this website comparing Palestine protesters peacefully outside of the funeral of Rosalynn Carter to the Westboro Baptist Church. Let me remind those people about the funeral of Shireen Abu Aqleh.

This isn't a hard question. Journalistically, when one side is provably lying, you say they're lying.
If you don't say a liar is lying, you are lying.
This is a crisis in our industry. We're not in the business of protecting powerful liars. We're in the business of what's true.
Asked whether you should give “equal weight to both sides, even when one of them is lying,” @emmatuckerWSJ tells @semaforben:
“You stick to the principles of the Journal and you tell the story."

Horrifying. Burning Man was briefly trending earlier due to masses of pathetic right wing/blue checks cheering what sure looks like a massive overreaction by the cops.
Nevada rangers drove directly into a blockade set up by climate protestors on the road to Burning Man. An officer pulled a gun out, tackling a protestor and threatening to shoot
Environmental activists were demanding that #BurningMan ban private jets + single-use plastics

Breaking NYT: The purchase of Clarence Thomas's $267,230 R.V. was underwritten, at least in part, by Anthony Welters, a friend who made his fortune in the health care industry.
He provided Thomas with financing a bank would have been unlikely to extend.

We understand Trump and his supporters are unhappy that a trial will take place in DC.
But that's where the crimes took place. That's the law. If you wanted to avoid a DC trial, you should've avoided DC crimes.

The latest Trump indicment consists mostly of stuff we knew but is still well worth reading just to appreciate the appalling enormity of the scheme it describes in detail. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

The court took a break after another plaintiff, Samantha Casiano, vomited while describing what she went through when she was denied an abortion after her baby was diagnosed with anencephaly. She said she had to watch her baby die after giving birth.

As lead plantiff Amanda (in tears) testifies about being denied an abortion when her amniotic fluid started leaking and doctors declared her pregnancy nonviable, the state objects, saying the testimony is "irrelevant." The judge overrules the objection.

Every account of a serial killer’s life and personality is like, “He seemed very successful and normal. Unless of course you count his obvious and obsessive hatred for women, which we didn’t.”

She told us.
A lot of folks will tell me that reminding folks of this fact isn’t helpful. I disagree. Reminding people of this fact will prevent history from repeating.
She knew. And we could’ve prevented all of this.
