Why should we celebrate Juneteenth? For the same reason we celebrate the Fourth of July. For our country has two foundings. The first, a promise of "a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

Mike Lee’s transformation from a principled, policy-driven lawmaker into a desperate shitposter should be studied. Not the first time a middle-aged nerdy guy morphed into a teenager online after getting a taste of internet fame. Sad to watch.

Of course he was surprised to be confronted. Mike Lee has become a textbook keyboard warrior: spews bile from behind a screen, assumes he won’t have to answer for it in person. Congress is full of overgrown teenagers. (Good for Tina Smith for saying something.)

He is an Afghan translator with lawful parole status. Because of the service he rendered our army, the Taliban killed his brother and abducted his father at a family wedding. Now his wife and children are in hiding in America.

This is identical to the liberal argument on guns/school shootings. It could also be applied to car accidents. We should do all we reasonably can to decrease all of these things, but ignoring relative risk and allowing it to consume you can lead to unnecessary authoritarianism.
