@d0_6n @yvessirae @julynewmoon Yeah man eff those parents and what they did to their kids, when they died of malnourishment and dehydration because their parents…. Oh. Oh right. The US government killed them. I personally don’t think children should be killed for the deeds of their parents. Do you agree?

i want to point out that Jeffrey Dahmer got a last meal, Ghislaine Maxwell got a therapy puppy, but a 7 year old couldn’t get a glass of water and died in custody due to dehydration. We are completely broken

@CodingSwede @zweiter_pfosten @ActualJeffBezos I mean at this point I won’t bother engaging with you. Calling things that violate your priors “fake” just renders you unfit for discourse. How can I engage with someone who will emphatically insist the sky is pink, not blue, and offers no frame of reference as to why that is.

You just castigated people for allegedly absurd hypotheticals. I ask you. What percentage of child hunger stats do you actually think are children being sent to bed without dinner. Furthermore, what precisely is the socially optimal amount to feed hungry children for you? It seems your standard here is not full bellies but “not literally dying.” If so you and I have different moralities, nor is it even efficient to give people less than a full robust diet because they can’t be productive without one!

@JoshuaMisrack @zweiter_pfosten @ActualJeffBezos That's not a thing. You are talking about the stat that asked people if they went to bed hungry at some rate within the last year or similar. It's not actually marking people starving or even malnourished. I think it might even catch kids being sent to bed without dinner.

@zweiter_pfosten @ActualJeffBezos I would say it's an unrepresentative sob story to create a wedge where you can give shit to people who have nothing to do with the story your making. (Assuming it even happens at any notable rate)

@iroasthypocrite @NYMag @mattxiv Besides the fact that needle users also can contract, or people with cheating partners, I feel like HIV shouldn’t be the sentence for morality you personally disagree with.

About 510,000 people died of AIDS in the U.S. between 1981 and 1996. In the late 1990s, a breakthrough “cocktail” of HIV meds became available. Since then, treatment options have become more abundant and easier to take, and in the United States, HIV-related mortality rates have plunged. But now there’s risk of a backslide. States across the country are considering cuts to a program that covers about a quarter of the roughly 1.2 million people in the U.S. living with HIV. Tens of thousands could soon lose access to medication. The most extreme example is in Florida. Early this month, the state government drastically reduced access to its AIDS Drug Assistance Program, a long-standing federal initiative operated and partly funded by states that provides free or subsidized HIV meds and care. Claiming a $120 million budget shortfall, Florida chopped the annual income-eligibility cutoff for ADAP from about $64,000 (in line with many other states) to about $21,000. Half of the 32,000 Floridians who depend on ADAP would lose coverage. ADAP programs work both to help save lives and to stop the epidemic’s spread: Medically suppressed HIV cannot be transmitted. A recent study calculated that if Congress were to eliminate the act that houses ADAP, new HIV infections across 31 major U.S. cities would rise nearly 50 percent by 2030. Tim Murphy reports on how cuts in ADAP “could see the first rise in HIV incidence in decades”: nymag.visitlink.me/vh9KRx

The FTC just settled with OkCupid and Match Group for secretly handing nearly 3 million users' dating profile photos and location data to Clarifai, a company that builds facial recognition software(!!!). The penalty? A promise not to do it again.

@RepMcGovern You will not be able to find one person in MAGA who doesn’t think he should go to jail for possessing child pornography including President Trump. No one is protecting predators in MAGA.

Yet another January 6th terrorist has been sentenced for possessing child pornography after he was pardoned by Donald Trump. Predators protecting predators. This time in my own district. I’m glad he’s facing justice after Trump let him back into our community where he was a danger to our children. wwlp.com/news/crime/amh…

Very curious as to how someone who helped create the constitution created part of it out of thin air. Besides. You don’t actually think “out of thin air” is enough, unless you think Trump should be prosecutable for all crimes like a normal citizen. Presidential immunity isn’t in the constitution either! Anyway the constitution very clearly implies judicial review’s existence. The very first amendment says “Congress shall make no law….” If Congress does in fact make such a law, what then? Is the first amendment a non-binding recommendation?

The USA is wasting enormous political and actual capital to deport one guy to a country other than the one he asked to be sent to purely out of spite for him pointing out the admin’s mistake. It’s bizarre but it’s how this admin operates: petty vendettas rule
Roger Parloff@rparloff

2d, says Lyons, the govt has invested in “high-stakes political negotiations” to get Liberia to take Abrego, & abandoning its deal now would “cast doubt on the diplomatic reliability of the US.” He says nothing about the diplomacy invested in the Costa Rica plea deal ... 3/4

“In fact Marbury vs Madison was antithetical to the original purpose of the courts.” Rather silly to say when John Marshall was a founding father lmao. The decision came out the same generation as the founding! The Jeffersonians ofc objected but John Marshall was a founding father with just as valid views on what the constitution says.

The founders did not envision single judges having nationwide injunction power. That power is much more authoritarian. In fact Marbury vs Madison was antithetical to the original purpose of the courts. It should be overturned but of course only judges can do that taking away their own power (will never happen). Your lack of understanding of us history and susceptibility to propaganda makes you look like a dolt.

A countries security problems or terrorism issues is not a justification for mass cleansing. Whatever Hezbollah does or does not control in southern Lebanon does not determine if civilians should be forced out of their homes at gun point. Who gets to decide when a nation has been so bad another just gets to take its land? There’s no neutral principle here. Just a desire to expand covered by the flimsiest of pretexts.

@todaystropics @hogpopsicle @jdcmedlock Tbf lots of tax dollars are wasted. So much money blown on 19 year old DOGE kid salaries and bombing foreign countries. But I wonder. Is that your concern? Or is it just social programs for poor people?

@JoshuaMisrack @BenLorber8 hey dumb fuck it’s literally in the Epstein files, where a bunch of Jewish supremacists refer to non-Jews as goyim. Nick is using it in an ironic way, we are reclaiming the term because it’s funny. No one cares about Jewish feelings over the word goy. It’s ours now

“You get to call us goy” do we? Been in the Jewish community my whole life, the supermajority (upwards of 95%) of usages I’ve seen of goy are, often Nazis, using it as their imaginary version of what they think Jews say about them. It’s a favorite James Fishback word, for example. Goyslop is a seminal alt right term etc. Idk maybe there is some hyper online collective of Jewish goy sayers but from my own personal experience almost all of the use has been from people complaining about Jewish use.
