If I were pregnant and informed that my fetus had Down syndrome I would absolutely abort. No amount of social media romanticizing of profound disability would change my mind. Contrary to popular opinion, you need more than love to care for a disabled child.

The death penalty in the United States is unnecessary. End it.

Most Americans who call themselves Irish aren’t talking about the same thing as the famine Irish of Boston and New York. A huge number are really Scots-Irish — English and Scottish border stock, Protestant frontier people whose ancestors came out of the borderlands, were planted in Ulster, then pushed into Appalachia, Tennessee, Kentucky and the South. Not Dublin. Not Cork. Not the tenements. A harder, older story of border clans, rifles, honour, feuds, distrust of authority and life on the edge of empire. The green beer version of Irish-American identity hides a lot. For millions, the real roots are English, Scottish, Ulster, frontier, Presbyterian, hill country and rebellion. Different people. Different history. Different temperament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

There’s a very good chance that France explodes into civil war before the U.K.

You cannot be pro life and pro death penalty.

Tonight, I signed an executive order appointing Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor in the Cornell sexual assault case. New information has raised serious questions about how this case was handled, and I’ve lost faith in the Tompkins County DA’s ability to fairly oversee it. The young woman at the center of this case deserves to know that every fact will be examined and justice pursued.

They’re going to do this to the whole admin if they win. Not hundreds, thousands

"Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared." - Albert Camus

I do cocaine. I go to frat parties. I get drunk. I don’t deserve to get gang raped.

guys, hear me out, the new Siri is actually incredible i asked it to book me a flight to SF and guarantee an empty row to myself it took 30 seconds to parse my response and said "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that." then when i tried again it told me it wasn't able to set reminders Apple cooked with this one 🔥

Jameela Jamil is calling for jail time and legal castration of the 7 Cornell University students accused of gang raping a 20 year old female student in October 2024. "I think the likes of the Cornell 7 shouldn't be allowed penises anymore. They used them as weapons, so now they have to be confiscated. I think jail time, legal castration and a removal of the shaft seems like the bare minimum🍆🔪" "Choppity chop" (📸: IG/jameelajamil)

If a state is going to use capital punishment, it should seriously consider the guillotine. The method is swift, almost certainly painless, and extremely difficult to botch. France last used it in 1977, but there is no reason a modern version couldn't be built. That would be more reliable than lethal injection, which has sometimes required repeated doses of potassium chloride and still left the condemned person alive and in unimaginable agony.

The stone library, built by the son of John Quincy Adams to house his father’s collection of over 6,000 books, is absolutely beautiful.

"The reality is that Rachel Griffin Accurso, who plays the character of Ms. Rachel, should not be trusted with your kids." Karol Markowicz delivers a scathing warning to parents about the wildly popular children's entertainer, arguing that her activism on Israel is "just one part of her overall political messaging." "Her comments on Gaza have sometimes slid from merely 'pro-Palestinian' to plainly antisemitic," Markowicz writes, pointing to the outcry after Accurso "liked" a comment that read, "Free America from the Jews." Accurso later apologized. Markowicz warns parents about what she sees as the larger danger: "It's very hard to un-brainwash children who have been ideologically captured by outside forces." Read the full opinion at the link for why Markowicz says parents should take Ms. Rachel at her own word. foxnews.com/opinion/karol-ma…

Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, recently broke his silence in a video statement aired on Fox News' Hannity. (This video was sent to me by his legal team). “I want to thank God for my catholic faith. I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter. And foremost, I would like to thank everyone, every individual, that has supported me throughout this difficult situation”
