This should be a simple case. Alas we have a multi-tiered justice system that will very likely railroad the young Marine who was just trying to protect himself and his fellow citizens from a deranged vagrant. Let’s hope and pray justice is done rather than perverted.
Last take: stripped of politics, the NYC subway case seems simple. A violent homeless man with 44 arrests "went crazy" on a train, threatening an entire car. 3 men of different races restrained him, one using a hold that is generally but not always non-lethal. Sadly, he died.

The Texas House should move on this bill to ban #DEI offices and hiring practices in Texas universities. Stripping such offices of funding is a good first step in reestablishing genuine meritocracy. cc: @DadePhelan @GovAbbott
Yesterday reminded us, if we are going to pass the conservative bills we need to fight extremism in our schools & institutions, the Texas House is going to have to kick it into gear. Today this @TexasGOP TV ad starts running in SE Texas. Stop messing around & start putting wins on the board.

I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means

Re-up, because Elon…
One of the major forces undermining “our democracy” is the big tech info-oligarchy seeking to shape what is acceptable “knowledge,” under the misnomers “misinformation” or “disinformation.” Big recent political regime signal of the Dem-Tech alliance was Obama’s Stanford speech.
