Hi, conservatives. Welcome to reality: Prosecutors regularly violate the Constitution and trample on people's rights to secure convictions—because we give them absolute immunity for job-related wrongdoing.

Join me in advocating against this for *all* defendants, won't you? https://t.co/OT6hkwOLwj

I have no issues with the defense taking the avenues available before it. that the defense is practically unavailable to 99% of the defendants in the system is the utter travesty of justice

So, can we finally dispense with the fiction that prosecutors hardly ever commit misconduct? They’re hardly ever *seen* committing misconduct—that I will grant you. But as recent events have made abundantly clear, that is not remotely the same thing.

The same people now banning *other people’s* books were furious a few months ago because an author’s *own estate* wanted to withdraw some of his own books from publication 🤨

Cops lying is common

Falsely telling the public that some random person stuck a needle in a guard's neck and drugged him, then waiting a week to walk it back after pretty much everybody pointed out the story was implausible codswallop: https://t.co/Yb9xc57cwp

Also watch for Glenn & co to pretend that the investigation didn't find that Russian election interference was real & that while the Trump camp didn't coordinate, it eagerly welcomed the assist https://t.co/xPJ1LgooMn

To anyone saying an individual, especially a minor, deputizing themselves to forcefully protect someone else’s property without being explicitly asked to by the owner is good:
I don’t think you’ve thought through what making that a universal standard would look like in practice.

I’m growing more bullish on Glenn Youngkin by the day. Really encouraged by his leadership since he won. Gloat-free, inclusive, and hopeful. We desperately need GOP leaders like him to do things like this—and I applaud him for it. https://t.co/k1ndnGvHBC

To understand Carlson on this, you have to understand that this isn't about foreign policy, it's basically more white nationalist stanning for Putin as the White Christian Manly Man saving the West from drag queens. https://t.co/KXOfniDpYd

Some propose eliminating qualified immunity and replacing it with a scheme in which public employers—which is to say we taxpayers—are solely liable for police misconduct. There is no clearer indication that you’re wrong on police reform than Sen. Tom Cotton liking your idea. https://t.co/nfi4loAwsV

Forget for a moment the jaw-dropping content of this memo and ask yourself if the typos, alone, don’t suggest it was written by a disgruntled fifth grader who thinks Esper canceled recess.

One more time, and then I’ll let it go: This is bullshit @CNN. There are plenty of conservatives/Republicans who lost everything by publicly opposing Trump. Chris Christie did nothing, risked nothing, and stood by Trump every step of the way. He’s no Trump critic. He’s no hero. https://t.co/8VjneHiexh

I hope it never gets filled and more positions open and it snowballs and the company gurgles to its death under the weight of its unmanned shame.

Or, you know, people delete Facebook.

If Tom Cotton *and* the LEO-lobby both endorse your proposed police “reform,” brother, let me tell you—you have lost your way.

A new day, a new week, a new job
This post is actually a few weeks in coming, but I can finally announce that I have accepted a new job, a position with HealthPartners, as their Digital Accessibility Lead. I'm really excited to have this opportunity https://t.co/FJa8kSzKaM

Bret’s distinction here is transparently self-serving. He’s agitating for a conceptual narrowing of “anti-vax” so that his “concerns”—which are decidedly *un*scientific—don’t get described in ways he finds reputationally troubling. Sorry, but “anti-vax” is an apt label for him. pic.twitter.com/B7UuhyF8ql
