Charleston quite famously wanted to enforce it's fugitive slave laws in Boston

At some point people need to learn that the poverty rate is mostly about the safety net or lack thereof and not the economy. The economy was doing historically well, real wages rising for the first time in decades, etc. And poverty rose because pandemic safety policies expired.

im already giving up way WAY too much but we live in a secular democracy. if this america first shit is that important to you these are the terms

They're doing their one idea again.

To understand Steen's demographic, you have to realize there are people who think a working-class blue-haired barista on minimum wage is the Establishment, while upper-middle-class professional Catholics of multi-generational wealth are the oppressed disenfranchised politically homeless.

protesters to politician: doing this one specific thing we all agreeed that we want will get you all of our collective votes politician: wtf why are you being so mean to me

They joined the government, my dudes.

I owned this book as a child. Fun stuff.

I’m sorry, Kash Patel, but I’m not going to give you credit for starting a trend at the FBI of just making shit up. That’s something the FBI has always done

It didn’t start with Jimmy Kimmel.

Another desperate attempt by people who can’t stand the idea of New Yorkers electing their mayor instead of billionaires buying one.

I mean, that was the whole point of Uncommitted and you assholes bitched about that. I’m sure primarying Ritchie Torres or Hakeem Jeffries would have worked

Cowardly conservatives saying the most "crazy" things they can imagine are accurately describing the mass murderer they supported as a mass murderer and accurately describing an ongoing genocide they support as a genocide and recommending a reasonable response.

What does this even mean, we are people posting on a website

putting aside the calamity that american hegemony has been for so many places on the globe, no one should want a world that takes its cues from a nation that has abandoned any pretexts of fairness, scrupulousness, transparency, ethics. just an emboldening of the worst actors' worst impulses globally

the total fraud she ran is right in the name!! it immediately reminds the reader that she is a total fabulist, q anon level kook

what i take from this is: it's nuts that mueller she wrote and seth abramson still exist

Voting blue gets your own governor deploying your own National Guard on your own fucking streets against your own fucking kids shut the fuck UP about how good Democrats are at basic fucking human rights just shut UP

But just vote blue!!! No matter who they tackle by destroying their last semblance of a home and throw into the fucking trash their few remaining belongings and then arrest and drag off to jail!!!

i bet moments before, the shooter graffiti'd BLACKS RULE

Erm well actually 🤓 if the current president ran for a third term in 2028 I would probably be out in the streets bleeding from my ears after being kicked in the head too many times by the National Guard

it's just a fact. you can't have a global hegemon who every few years is at risk of electing a lunatic government that will undo treaties, start murdering people in international waters on a whim, stop aid programs, and slap wanton tariffs on the world capriciously. we have no credibility anymore

KASH PATEL: you falsify that evidence with messages that are anti-ICE in nature yet? LOW LEVEL FBI AGENT: sure did, boss. wrote the words "ANTI-ICE" on them nice and big, just like you asked KASH PATEL: what

all that really leaves is "take the cops' money away", or, in some cases, "dissolve the police department itself". in some cases it's significantly easier for a local government to do ether the entire department than it is to fire a single cop or tweak the contract to reduce police immunity.

"the slogan turns me off!" well, that's kind of Big Whoop. because even if someone picked a slogan that wins you over, and even if you successfully passed reforms on it, this all stops dead at the *enforcement* part. every tool in the 'reform' bucket has come up short in changing this dynamic.

you watch a city ban cops doing chokeholds multiple times, and they keep doing it, to no consequence. you watch a city ban no knock raids multiple times, and they keep doing it, to no consequence. you can't even keep a bad cop fired for long. you can pass reforms, but can you *enforce* them?

The shells were "engraved with anti-ICE messages" and the messages were just "anti-ICE" Fantastic work there gang

*public ice-adjacent event happens where ice is the only entity unharmed* ICE: Nobody appreciates the danger we face.

reichstag fire but not a one of these goons can keep a match lit

This is why you don’t fucking validate a right-wing extremist with a national day of remembrance. The Democratic leadership jumped onto another damn rake.

Liberals scrambling to justify why the us should have hegemony after killing like 60 million people since ww2

Can't say that I'm surprised given the wild grandstanding by politicians at all levels during the proceedings. That Adams perp walk with the ridiculous pack of gravy seals when he got to NYC was a picture perfect example of creating jury bias.

genuinely mind numbing to see hundreds of self identified liberal americans on here act all high and mighty about the return of "sensible American leadership" on the global stage in 2029 as if what happened in MENA under Biden just straight up didn't happen. what sensible leadership? spare me.

Kamala Harris still does not understand that her administration's support for an ongoing genocide was not only morally horrific but cost her the votes of people with two eyes and a conscience

Actually the entire “war” is a tool to destroy Palestine and everyone in it

Idk why all these fucking world governments have so many fucking warships but somehow can't manage to spare one or two to protect fucking humanitarian aid ships who got fucking drone striked again off fucking Crete last night

“We’ve had enough words, it’s time for Bolivar’s sword of liberty or death,” said the president, stressing that “they will not just bomb Gaza, not just the Caribbean as they are doing already, but all of humanity that demands freedom.”

Detainees shot and killed by sniper at an ICE facility and already the Vice President and DHS Secretary are making it an attack on ICE and not a killing of people in ICE custody. www.wfaa.com/article/news...

Genuinely shocking levels of institutional rot going on in the US. The push to 'both sides' every question has left fucking National Public Radio to say "hey maybe tylenol really does cause autism, many people are asking questions"

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

@kamalaharris.com you were the vice president at the time

this is why you don’t give him the sixteen million dollars in the first place, it tells him he owns you forever now

Giving him that 16 million really ensured they’d never be bothered again
