From Reagan appointee Judge Wilkinson on the 4th Circuit:
“The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order.
Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done.
This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.”

This Is What a Nuclear Strike Would Feel Like: A Precise Simulation

Though certain generations may have grown up trained to take cover under their classroom desks in the case of a nuclear showdown between the United States and the Soviet Union, few of us today can believe that we'd stand much chance if we found ourselves anywhere near a detonated missile.

There is no party anymore. At this point it's just a grab bag of "not Republicans" from across the whole spectrum. If we didn't have this primitive 18th century structure that forces a 2 party system, it would fracture into a half dozen different parties in an instant.

What stage of capitalism is it when companies report record profits, wealth inequity grows, and taxes are cut on corporations and the wealthy while the WSJ suggests you could save money by starving yourself and your family?

GamerGate wasn’t a fight for ethics. It was a dress rehearsal for incel extremism. Step 1: find a scapegoat. Step 2: weaponize your loneliness. Step 3: cry “free speech” while building a hate machine powered by YouTube algorithms and anime icons.
