There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who go to a pizza party and take only one slice because there may not be enough to go around, and those who take three slices because there may not be enough to go around.

Bill Barr's explanation of his decision to back Trump over Biden comes down to his belief that Trump's efforts to undermine democracy are OK because his politics are OK. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/29/bill-barr-doesnt-mind-little-autocracy-if-your-politics-are-right/

“An enlightened zeal for the energy and efficiency of government will be stigmatized as the offspring of a temper fond of despotic power and hostile to the principles of liberty.

Honestly, the Supreme Court justices today sounded even more deranged and clueless than I even expected. They are just too worried about hypothetical future presidents to focus on the fact that we have a former president indicted for attempting to overthrow an election who is now running for reelection on an explicitly authoritarian, anti-democracy platform. 1/ #LawFedi

The Supreme Court is not immune from a Democratic House and Senate impeaching their asses!

What is the difference between a “militarized response” and a fascist beatdown?

Asking for a friend.

@Wearepatriots2 All ten female Republicans in the Arizona House of Representatives voted against repeal of the 1864 abortion ban. Every last one of them should be kicked out of office in November.

I’ll just take this news of ShotSpotter being creepy police-state surveillance apparatus that operates outside of normal oversight mechanisms as an opportunity to remind everyone that is ShotSpotter is also a mechanism for whitewashing police bias with statistics by taking a map of where police put microphones and presenting it as a supposed map of where gun violence occurs. https://infosec.exchange/@patrickcmiller/112332381931147559
