Correct. White white voters are obviously to blame for majority of Trump votes both times around, that people at risk, and youngs that supposedly champion them, did not show up for Harris this time was the difference maker.

“Opposition figures” in Uganda is very different than “Uganda”, meaning govt thereof, which routinely violates political and human rights.

Attestation on the website when booking appointment, like the early days or if you wanted a 6-month booster.

A while I certainly stand against such a new country deportation or any deportation especially in this case, I really wish people knew enough about the difference between African countries. Uganda is not South Sudan (unless you are gay or a political opponent)

Whole tone of this article, even starting with the head/sub head, is credulous. Even just including “He says” he regained his balance, rather than stating as fact, would help. I think naive readers will believe this junk is real.

Not as bad as South Sudan. Kampala life is ok if you’re not gay or political (not condoning the action, just want to point out not all of Africa is a war zone. SS is).

That’s a fantasy; law enforcement has always loved to damage property (and confiscate it) and abuse people. Only difference is it’s been federalized.

LOL. I had to get back on the waiting list at the library and recheck it out for a second three week borrow, and it still wasn’t enough I ended up skimming a lot of the back. But the civil rights section was particularly fascinating.

Have you read the massive but fascinating Hoover biography that won the Pulitzer? It is also a valuable look back, at federal power and its benefits but also abuses.

But if their presence were bigger in 7 and 8, that would be clearly racially motivated and probably a real powder keg, based on the clips that are circulating of when even DC cops (and Black ones, at that) are interacting with black residents. Please don’t encourage them further into those wards.

This is a fairly absurd argument to be witnessing. Could we maybe get back to discussing that what they are doing is illegal and abusive and not caring which specific group they most offend?

A direct post would be more visible, shame because there are overlooked angles to this still.

Really wish you had asked for anecdotes for the better bus article especially since I have commented here on it. We are having an incredible amount of noise pollution while still worse service. I would’ve liked to have gotten that and other deeper systemic problems on the record.
