There have been tons of massive protests, the average American doesn’t support this crap and they’re doing what they can

The question should be the fuck is wrong with America’s police officers, service members, judges, and lawmakers and other elected officials

I think it’s also because the minority of people who still identify as Republicans care more about people they don’t like being hurt than their own material well being

The problem with the party leadership route is that party insiders are the only ones who get to vote on it, and when that’s the electorate she can’t even beat Gerry Nadler. If she can run in a race with real people voting on it I think she could beat anyone.

That for profit company would appreciate people doing their advertising work for them for free I’m sure

Has it actually been reported anywhere that the sandwich in question came from this restaurant chain?

Didn’t stay in office tho

The meetings, known as “audencias publicas,” or public hearings in Spanish,

NYT really thinks its readers are this stupid

In this tech-savvy age, when many get their questions answered online by swiping a phone or clicking a mouse, the consulate sessions are a throwback to another era, when problems were addressed face to face.

“Cliche factory on line two, something about overtime pay?”

You don’t understand, he’s being hopeful and positive while being Muslim, and the last “national moment of unity” this fucking scumbag is willing to recognize as such is when “all” of “us” came together after 9/11 to be super shitty to anyone who looked like they were from the middle east. Taking away their easy scapegoat really does feel divisive to these psychotic ghouls.

Calling Major Questions a legal doctrine is like calling the Paper Bag test a medical examination

He will be 82 years old in 2028

Not saying they won’t try all of this, but I don’t think they’ll be able to pull it off for very long if at all

I think there’s also a bit of rationality behind that system, because

a) Trolls will just lie and declare an article says something it doesn’t to “win” an argument or waste people’s time making them read their bullshit article (usually something hosted on a website you don’t want to give traffic to)

b) Some people on those forums might have tightly constrained time-frames for looking at things because they’re students or they’re working in a restaurant or retail shop or some other kind of closely managed service job where they can get yelled at by a supervisor for using their phone

c) There’s a lot of content to get to on the internet

So, I think it’s kind of a dick move to get mad at other people for not reading the article, and it’s definitely a dick move to do that if you don’t take the time to quote the specific part of the article they’re claiming contradicts someone else

I think that’s what this administration want us to think, but in reality

White House officials said that covering the cost of military pay for the first half of October totaled about $6.5 billion. Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst at the American Enterprise Institute

FFS, could the news media go more than two sentences without treating a right wing hack organization like a serious viewpoint, fuck

Ugh, whatever, sorry for interrupting, do some middle school level math for us Todd

Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, said that based on that figure, the new donation will cover about one-third of one day’s pay for the force.

So, yeah, this is a dumb stunt designed to get us to think they just privatized the military, but it’s actually empty bullshit

I came here to say both of those things about the Internet Archive, but I also hope both of those orgs get tons of donations regularly because I wouldn’t want to live in a world without them

I mean, yes that is the way things currently are, but it’s not the way they should be

Trump administration expected to appeal the decision.

Historically speaking, when fascist leaders relocate to bunkers good things happen

Small step in the right direction, but

a) There are pretty obviously widespread and violent violations of the law happening, you don’t need to assess them, you need to be immediately arresting and imprisoning these ICE scumbags, then organizing the widely available evidence and bringing charges against them. Treat them like the urgent and deadly threats they are and get them off our streets now.

b) Water under the bridge at this point, but why tf did a bunch of citizens have to put themselves in danger to gather evidence of New York laws being broken? Pretty sure that’s the cops job.

Arrest them on sight because they’re imminently dangerous, organize the widely available evidence and bring charges after they’ve been secured in a cell

Nah, with how they talk about “drinking lib tears” and stuff all the time Republicans definitely know what they’re saying and doing is wrong. The people who are so deluded they don’t know what they’re doing is wrong are the moderates, you could talk those assholes into supporting a genocide and they’d still think they were good people who could lecture others on right and wrong and be taken seriously.

Ever since Biden pulled funding from UNRWA most American news orgs just forgot it existed

Born to be an constantly evolving set of self evident ideas, forced to have an identity
