As I first reported on Monday, Katie Zacharia is not a lawyer and has never been licensed to practice law. The WSJ reports that she took the California Bar Exam but failed. Nevertheless, Zacharia appeared on media programs for YEARS and repeatedly called herself a lawyer. Here's a super cut:

my younger toddler son insisted tonight since I didn’t have a debit card that we leave the park, get cash, and drive back to give it to a woman and her young child after she said she didn’t have money to pay for her room for the night, in part because he said he didn’t want the girl, “my friend” to…

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

If the message from some of you here is "it's okay to be Stalinists because our opponents are Nazis," be ready for the possibility that - given that choice - people will choose Nazis.

Liberals say that the algae in the reflecting pool is symbolic of the rot at the heart of our democracy. They're wrong—it's symbolic of the rot at the heart of our republic.

For years so many people told me I was being too hard on Elon, that I was overreacting. I think about those people, the entire folder of hate mail I still get from angry men, and every tv interview where an anchor said “but the teslas!” How does it feel to be so incredibly wrong? Just curious.

I walked out of work once and Josh Hawley was getting out of an SUV so I gave him the fist.

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little to no money in my crypto x FTX wallet, and nothing particular to interest me on twitch, I thought I would discord surf a little and see the wavy part of the chat.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

What these people are doing to the power of calling out real antisemitism, in an incredibly dangerous time of surging global antisemitism….man, it is just so worrisome

This is the exact lighting they use for the pic to accompany a profile of a professor who got suspended because he kept using slurs in class as a supposed intellectual provocation.
