1. We need to reduce the size of the prison population, there are too many incarcerated people and too few correctional officers, this will get worse not better, and we have proven that you can let people out safely (see FSA, see CARES home confinement)

What has Sam Smith done to annoy these people?

Nearly every culture war is based on this fact: someone wants to force their own religion on someone else.

You have the right to practice your religion. You do not have the right to force others to practice your religion.

Separate church and state.

Wallace: Trump just told TIME he plans to drag our country into a dark new era that would closely resemble authoritarianism. You don't have to take our word for it, take his. He just said he would deploy the military to do mass deportations, he would allow states to monitor

I surveyed 100 brilliantly clever people and asked them who was the most dimwitted, simple-minded member of Congress. They said Tommy Tuberville.
I surveyed 100 unsullied pristine people and asked them who was the slimiest, most dishonest person in government. They said Ken

You’re on the right side of history when Rage Against the Machine shares your video.

.Rep. Stephanie Bice endorses Trump, who said he’d let states monitor women's pregnancies and prosecute those who get an abortion. This is an extreme overreach into a personal health decision.

The performance here.. it’s so cringe. He has no power and doing a tornado damage tour when he can’t do his own job.

I asked a Black Trump supporter how voting Republican we’re going to get Black people reparations when they don’t even want us to vote in the first place.

This is an exceedingly common bicycle lock. It’s a type Columbia public safety has promoted to its students. How did this claim get all the way onto tv?

Khashoggi’s Ghost 🇺🇦🌻 Thank you, and the whole world needs to hear this!

While everyone is arguing, absolutely no one is addressing the fact that Trump gave Putin U.S. intel, Putin then sent Lavrov to meet Hamas, Hamas then attacked Israel. This is a glimpse of what a second term with Trump will be.

IDK who needs to hear this, but it's not the president's fault that Hamas brutally massacred a bunch of Jews, or that Bibi went nuts about it and decided that stopping them from doing it again required leveling Gaza, or that a lot of students are protesting this. It's just not.

Women are going to die. Doctors will flee. Rape and incest victims will now be forced to carry their attacker’s babies. Colleges will dwindle as out of state students flee. The nearest state for abortion is now Illinois so the well off will be just fine. So much for that “Free

I’m as guilty as anyone of thinking of my Columbia University undergraduates as “kids.” But here is what I’ve seen them do in the last two weeks: (1/10)
