Just for fun I'm going to live tweet the Declaration of Independence, and opine as to whether the Supreme Court would have granted immunity for each of the 27 colonial grievances listed against King George III.

A 🧵: 1- "He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."

Verdict: Core Function. Exercise of authority as sovereign. Absolute Immunity.

Worth pointing out, most of the 🇵🇱 farmers organizing these protests are not small, supposedly impoverished farmers struggling to make ends meet as portrayed, but large magnates. The farmer who organized this protest, for instance, owns 1500 acres of land.

The @LPNational is suing 8 libertarian activists from Michigan for alleged trademark infringement. But the real intent is clear; this is the national party injecting itself into a state party dispute. It's reprehensible. And every member of the LNC should be ashamed of themselves @LPNational

Right. #Eurovision2023 Round 1 is tomorrow. Lets talk about it.

Acts I love in Round 1:
Finland 🇫🇮- Käärijä "Cha Cha Cha"
Sweden 🇸🇪- Loreen "Tattoo"
Malta 🇲🇹- The Busker "Dance"
Croatia🇭🇷- Let 3 "Mama ŠČ!" First off, there's #Käärijä. I love this act so much. Its fun, the performance is entertaining, the song is easy and catchy, & it has a lot of memorable bits. Honestly, its not the high art Loreen is bringing, but its what Eurovision is all about. I hope he wins the whole thing.

Michigan is currently considering a series of bills to regulate firearm ownership in the aftermath of the shooting on the campus of Michigan State University. These bills are widely expected to pass in the coming days. Whether they are sound policy, however, is less certain. The first bill, HB 4138/4142/4143 represents a universal licensing and registration scheme. The primary intent of these bills is to expand the licensing scheme currently employed for pistols to all firearms.

A summary of the bill is available here:

This is the Michigan Libertarian Party's way of telling the LNC to kindly piss the hell off. The letter to the former GOP of Michigan General Counsel who the Michigan Mises faction hired is attached here: Part 1/3

History is being misused and absued to justify and suborn Russia's brutal, unjust war in Ukraine. A long 🧵 about how social media personalities like @mtracey are abusing the historical record to justify their terrible positions in this war. One of my capstone courses for my History BA at @GVSU was titled "Use and Abuse of History". In it, we learned about ways in which history can be misused or taken away from valuable context, & how common this is, especially outside of serious historical/academic circles.

One of the painful things for me over the last 6 months has been seeing Libertarian outlets uncritically parroting the positions of 🤡 like @mtracey and @caitoz; people who literally distort history in order to blame the United States for 🇷🇺 invasion and smear the 🇺🇦 people. Tracey has literally insinuated that the United States is responsible for the Holocaust over the last 24 hours after spending a week arguing that Ukraines continued success on the battlefield is an unacceptable “escalation” of the war.

Both ignore the obvious war crimes of 🇷🇺
