She was literally in the stabbing motion when she got shot.

“[Y]ou don’t have to believe in his innocence to believe he should be free[.]”

Saying “white nationalist” doesn’t even cover the full extent of the bases here though; there have also been bills passed recently to curtail abortion, and terrorize LGBTQ+ youths.

Stacey Abrams is running for governor again, so I guess they figured they needed that Anti-Faux CRT bump.

Not gonna argue that someone wielding a knife and trying to stab other people (particularly another child,) isn’t a dangerous life-or-death situation, but was there even an attempt to talk her down? Was a taser not an option?

The caucus process can take so long that Elizabeth Warren’s campaign offered free childcare so more people could participate—a nice proposal that still didn’t address people who work in the evenings or have disabilities.

Taraji P. Henson is publicly defending Jussie Smollett and making some wild comparisons in the process!

Given how extreme the reaction has been to such a bland and insipid statement (he may as well have said “we’re all just like ‘wow’, you know? We can’t even with this”), it seems like this is less about what he said than the fact that he said anything at all; i.e., I doubt there’s anything he could have said that would…

One too many in this case.

No, they’re just fucking desperate. Even in your attempted justification you’re essentially saying he and his advisors have gone “well we’re dead either way so might as well drag everyone into it” which is insane.

Just because he’s called for something doesn’t make it good policy or militarily feasible.

days after his private plane had to make an emergency landing due to an engine failure.

Anyone going over right now without combat experience or training is Going to be a hindrance. The main Avenue for doing that is through the Ukrainian Foreign Legion, Which is mandating at least 4 weeks of instruction for anyone joining. That is going to be a very abbreviated course with a lot of people who don’t…

They want the gear, the hubris, and the prestige… without the risk of actually joining the military... without the risk of actually joining the military

Volunteering to fight in combat with no training or experience is the dumbest fucking thing I can think of. You won’t help anyone, you’ll instead get in the way of people who actually do know what they’re doing and could be better used in the fight rather than training up some foreign yahoos out for their Spanish…

Authors like GRRM, Patrick Rothfuss, and Scott Lynch, make me appreciate the likes of Joe Abercrombie and Brandon Sanderson so soooooooo much. Sanderson in particular writes and delivers with the professional consistency of the people who write trashy romance novels and airport paperback spy thriller dad novels.

Glad he went into writing rather than becoming a mechanic or plumber.

The article seems to say the mock auction was organized by the students, rather than as part of any kind of formal instruction. Every teacher and admin in the school could be completely scandalized by this, but still not be able to stop it if they don’t know it’s happening in the first place.

Smollett is not out of the legal woods entirely. There’s now the looming potential of a whole new trial as the actor’s lawyers move forward with their appeal.

Like I said, if it this were mentioned in passing, then whatever/who cares, but a whole chunk of this article was dedicated to summarizing the status of various reproductive rights under the law (as made by SCOTUS over the years.) This is not a high school newspaper; it’s not even a college newspaper. This is a site…
