Right, running school year round to make up for lost learning, increasing the number of teachers and resources. Instead we have been seeing cuts to public education and gutting of higher education.

The thing about Robert E Lee is he should have been executed in front of the gutted husk of a torched Virginia plantation mansion, and that should have been his official portrait, and we should have put it on our money.

About a billion a year in federal grants go to local cops. Majority of funding is local but losing federal grants matters to a lot of places. This is not the same as getting old military equipment.

I fully oppose the death penalty but I can also say the prioritizing how it appears at the expense of making the process more cruel is depraved. If the state is going to execute, the method must be as quick and painless as possible and gas like lethal injection has been shown to be slow and painful.

Why didn't Dems get to be upset that they followed the rules and the right wing movement made the pandemic worse by being whiny babies that refused to do anything that involves responsibility? It is about having a movement that is able to define itself as the authentic voice of the people.

Yes but specifically for cane cutters life massively improved quite quickly then stalled out. Insanely brutal slavery to literacy, basic health services, and enough food is a big improvement. Don't have to love the Castro regime or what they did other places to recognize that.

Life for a cane cutter got massively better after the Cuban revolution. I don't think people realize just how bad it was on plantations under Batista.
