Laws are toothless if society doesn't care about them being enforced, and if politicians benefit from not enforcing them. Do you actually think that we'd be in a better situation if the Equal Protection Clause had an addendum that said "especially black people?"

Black Lives Matter is a great slogan for social justice. The Black Bill of Rights is a terrible thing for a government whose purpose isn't racial apartheid. Either we are all equal under the law or we aren't.

Wow surprising for sure.

Why not pass a bill of rights that will address material conditions for everyone, no need to be exclusive. Here is a great one from 1944.

Employment (right to work)
An adequate income for food, shelter, and recreation
Farmers' rights to a fair income
Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies
Decent housing
Adequate medical care
Social security
Education

Or even just take this part "people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.” and ensure that the same applies to everyone, even if they aren't trans. I'd love if everyone, including trans people, had those rights.

Actually what is colloquially known as "hibernation" isn't hibernation at all, it's a distinct but trivially different classification that only scientists who specifically study bears have created. Wow!

a statue of Baal—which they described as a symbol of Satan

Cringe as fuck. "Satan" exist in a real manifestation in the form Capitalist Governments. You don't need throw religion into it.

Definetly should be increasing the number of nazis being "assaulted" by 10x, and also should make sure that the nazis' being assaulted are being permanently maimed or killed.

This is all true, however you should be preparing to start shooting ICE agents in the face too. Just make sure you do proper planning so that you have a good chance of getting away with it.

Encouraging stat, though i'm sure it is massively inflated by classifying things such as yelling at them as "assault."

At least initially, eventually they will run into efficiency issues and they will need to upgrade their methods. if you have 100 people you want to kill, hanging is fine, but what about 1000? 10,000? 100,000? hanging is just too slow.

What's the date of the picture? Because yes, that does change things a bit.

I suspect the guest-list alone motivated him to document it.

 

The idea of "student loan forgiveness for entrepreneurs" is something I noticed 10 years ago during Hillary Clinton's uninspired campaign for president, even before Trump entered the arena as a serious candidate.

Looking at a few search-engine hits filtered for only 2015, and I see the following article. There are a few other derivative articles with same idea.

https://www.nbcnews.com/better/careers/helping-millennial-entrepreneurs-conquer-student-loan-debt-n408636

But basically the idea of this group of young "entrepreneurs" who were saddled by student loans deserved special government attention. Especially from the Clinton campaign.

Kind of weird, but they had a campaign full of weird shit, like Russian Drone submarines, or a no-fly zone over Syria, or the declaration that universal health-care "will never ever happen."

But then 4 years later after Clinton was humiliated, we have her heir-apparent Kamala Harris talking about the same oddly specific policy: "According to her plan, Harris intends to give student loan debt forgiveness to Pell grant recipients who successfully open businesses in underserved communities and operate those businesses for three years."

https://psmag.com/news/kamala-harris-student-debt-forgiveness-plan-part-of-proposal-to-support-black-entrepreneurs/

And now it's 4 years later, and we have a very old representative of New York City, Nydia Velázquez introducing the same policy!

https://democrats-smallbusiness.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4769

Who the fuck is pushing this policy? Who is it for? Why are Democratic Politicians so fixated on this fucking worthless extremely narrowly targeted policy? It's been 10 years, and this policy keeps coming back almost as a slogan. Why?!

 

Garbage Island full of garbage people thinks cars prevent sexual assaults.

 

A pretty standard pro-environmental piece, however I do appreciate how it calls out the "German Green Party," which is obviously just an astro-turfed political party funded by the coal industry.

And of course the criticism of about the farce of Carbon Capture is spot-on.

 

A growing number of Senate Democrats appear open to making it harder for migrants to seek asylum in order to secure Republican support for aiding Ukraine and Israel.

This is what the democrats stand for. Unlimited funding for the MIC and border-control, but social issues are not a priority.

Stop voting for the parties of Capital.
