The GOP is the party of pedophiles. Unforgivable to throw trans people under the bus on their behalf. mattyberad.medium.com/conservative...

The thing is that deterrence does not work nearly as well as other ways the same money could be spent - namely on education, health-care, and housing.
I don't think deterrence is illegitimate! in cases where confining someone can reasonably be expected to deter others from that behavior, I think that is justifiable, because indirectly causing other to follow their example is meaningful harm. it's vengeance for it's own sake that is unjustifiable
Voters will soon discover from Crowley that the center remains incapable of and uninterested in fighting. It's not random coincidence that the cowards are all moderates.
I think what you’re seeing in WI and the closer than expected Michigan senate race, it’s less about the Dems wanting to go far far left and more about wanting fighters. Completely normal desire in this Trump moment

I am not allowed to post what I think about John Roberts.
Methinks Mr. Roberts doth protest too much. The idea that you shouldn’t criticize public servants comes as a surprise to public servants everywhere. It also misunderstands the degree to which the Roberts court has brought this on itself. Thread: www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
