We used to watch the flight deck channel in berthing when they didn’t have any good movies on.
I hope someone on board was watching when it happened at least, it’s like the ultimate version of a bouncing logo hitting the corner perfectly. You wait so long for anything interesting to happen.
No, this is using the national guard to assist law enforcement…
Something pretty much every president has done.
The difference is usually states/cities request it, this is trump saying he’s going to do it, and it’s vauge enough that it also likely includes working with ICE in no knock raids where targets get zero due process.
Crying wolf makes it more likely people under-react when/if it does happen.
That’s why words matter.
Yep, martial law is a huge step and likely what would proceed an actual civil war.
This sucks, but it’s not really new. The National Guard has done all of these things before, under administrations from both parties.
It’s important people understand it and the context of likely being used to abduct people without due process and deport them.
But that’s different than martial law.
And people need to be informed about what’s actually happening
It’s one of those things where words have meaning, and you’re using words in a way that misrepresents reality…
Commonly referred to as “misinformation”
Martial law is an actual thing and we are not officially under it.
The EO sucks and shouldn’t be a thing, but don’t pretend it’s something that it’s not because that softens people’s reaction when it really happens
The White House told NBC News that Hurts and other players not attending the celebration have “scheduling conflicts.”
the problem here is that nobody takes the time to think about how civics actually work in this country.
This rapper does an amazing job of breaking down why people don’t vote, what elections they need to be voting in, and why so many people misrepresent our political system.
mean when Democrats were falsely advertising hope and change but never followed through as usual and Obama just went to basketball games, but the workers never got living wages and nothing else happened from all the empty promises
Was that 50 years ago?
Did Obama nominate a progressive DNC chair or did he ignore the DNC because the neoliberals running it actively worked against him, which allowed the neoliberals to remain in control of the DNC?
Because buddy…
It seems like you’re not informed about the topic.
Quick edit:
To clarify I mean the first time the DNC pushed a more conservative candidate than Dem voters wanted in an attempt to steal Republican voters: Jimmy Carter.
The fact that he’s remembered as the last “true left” president shows how much the party has fallen. At the time the party was fractured because Jimmy wasn’t progressive enough for the Dem voting base. And we’ve only moved right since the, until the 2025 DNC chair election.
Battles have been fought and the war was won, neoliberals do t run the DNC anymore
The reason mainstream media switched to “both sides” after four years of defending Biden and pretending he was perfect is instead of Biden getting to place another corpo friendly DNC chair, the DNC got to vote and picked the most progressive chair in over 50 years.
Is Ken Martin perfect?
Nope, but billionaire owned media turning against the party almost on the day he was elected should be enough to tell us it was a victory.
Now is when progressives need to rally around the DNC, the neoliberals will vote Republican like they did in 08, but there’s so few neoliberal voters it won’t matter now either.
And 51% approved of his handling of gender and trans people?
When the life is bad, people want something to blame.
The people who benefit from life being bad for 99% of us, pick small marginalized groups and blame them.
If we fix people’s lives, they won’t want a Boogeyman and society becomes more acceptable.
It’s why the wealthy always want us to focus on social issues first, they want us to waste our time because the best we’ll do is shuffle around what social issues we’re fighting for.
We can waste all our time treating symptoms, or we can fix the root cause
A genocidal far right religious ethnostate is against free knowledge?!
OP, did you ever notice when Wikipedia “loses” the “winners” are always shit tier evil people?
I take back what I said:
You’re so close to understanding this.
I’m sorry I can’t put this very simple topic in a way you can understand. Hopefully someone else has better luck
then we need to be sure that we actually are taking care of everyone.
Literally what I’m saying…
We’re not, we should be, and that should be priority 1 because everything else is easy.
You’re so close to understanding this.
I understand where people are coming from when they say “identity politics” are politics getting in the way of class struggle. I vehemently disagree with it, these are also important issues we need to stand up for even when they are sometimes unpopular
The thing is, the things that help everyone helps everyone…
The people suffering from identity politics politicizing their existence as well
But when shit sucks, people lash out. If we were taking care of everyone, they wouldn’t need a Boogeyman to blame to distract them from the real problem.
Fixing the class issue makes it easier to fix societal issues.
You’re literally arguing to put the cart before the horse, to do things in the least effective manner to achieve all goals.
That’s why the wealthy use it to distract people, even though you think you understand it. You’re still missing the point and falling for it. It’s an effective strategy and loads of people keep falling for it. It exploits natural logic, because it should be easier to handle “identity politics” because it’s way less people.
Humans aren’t wired to think of more than like 220 people, and that fact is exploited by the wealthy constantly
That’s broken down by profession of individual donor.
It shows that her biggest group of individual donors is boomers, who aren’t exactly known for being progressive.
The staunch fight for identity politics is not what people seem to want or need right now, and they need to understand that.
They’re paid a lot of money specifically so they don’t understand that…
The entire reason for the culture war is to distract people from the fact that the wealthiest are fighting a class war.
You think she can’t understand because she’s not able to. It’s a willful ignorance, and require lots of money for that cognitive dissonance
We don’t need more “pro-israel centrists”
The reason Dem turnout in generals is depressed, is our choices are CIA war criminals like Slotking or a republican.
She is the problem, not the 99.9% who don’t want an oligarchy
More importantly it was limited by physical media back then.
Like, DVD level physical media, there was a hard limit for everyone, so there was a huge focus on optimization to save space
Now that almost all games are downloaded, they can be as huge as they want. So optimizing for file size is often the first place that gets cut. You might not keep a huge game installed, but it’s rare to avoid buying a game due to file size.
Who gives a fuck?
Most Americans can’t keep the various Christian church leader names straight.
There’s so much shit worse they’re doing. And more important going on…
But some Jesus freak somewhere got mad you didn’t call his sky daddy’s bf the right label?
You can get a real allergy test that’s 100% not a scam…
Don’t just order one online, it won’t do you any good if doctors won’t accept the results.
