Ah see but I actually found one of my ancestors writings and he came over for a very specific reason.....drumroll please đĽ because he didn't like that kids and teachers in the old country were expected to get vaccinated against small pox. I come from OG anti vaxxer stock here.
wapo.st/4lWW2Fg A third lawyer, Alma David, said ⌠she had been told by the head of the Eswatini prison that only the U.S. Embassy could grant access to the men. âSince when does the U.S. Embassy have jurisdiction over Eswatiniâs national prisons?â
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
I wonder what this person thinks happens in sex Ed class
Hey if they started with one 100, a fan of em is a big move!
Dude the opinion piece you screenshot is written by John Barasso
You might be surprised to know that they are not going to be handling or shooting firearms
Yeah this doesn't seem problematic now that I've read the requirements.
Yearly seems to be a pretty wild prioritization though - trying to find the full article
Idk seems like a decent idea given the possibility of kids running across guns accidentally. Just depends what the curriculum is and if it's age appropriate.
You know what I hate? Conspiracy theories about 'Big Pharma' hiding the cure to various ailments because it's more profitable to keep people sick. Do you realize how much market share you could steal from your competitors and how huge your valuation would become if you announced you cured cancer?
You can't tell me the comparisons to Marxist-Leninist dictatorships are inappropriate when they're literally posting "little red book" shit
Just overheard my partner ask the dogs if they wanted "Dinzo Abe" (dinner)
My solution is that you assemble a police force through drawing lots among people who are all largely uninterested in being police
I think part of it is that many times they are asked to do stuff like clearing homeless encampments, responding to low level retail and property crime, mental health incidents etc which are mostly poverty crimes and the only real tool they have is jail.
Are there good individual ice agents?
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
I mean that dude is an out and out authoritarian apologist infamous
at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: theyâre all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

I honestly just think he has COVID
Forty-five Maine prisoners are currently working remote jobs for outside companies. A few are working full-time, earning more than corrections officers. One is making well into the six figures. Here's why Maine's approach to education and work in prison is making waves in the world of corrections:

The last person who defied an order like this was confirmed to a federal circuit court, so why wouldnât it happen again?
It is honestly a great name
Yoooo I can't believe charges haven't been filed. The whole thing is honestly so disgusting. I hope he makes a full recovery and sues the shit outta that dude. Raja seems to have the mind state and capacity of like an emotionally disturbed toddler - pretty scary
I think 3d printing avoided this... So far
Lol he hit him with the "yes you will Smith"

Why did your Michigan chapter break off?
Surely someone has like 3d printed like a multi spray paint can holder you could mount on a bike and do like the road line crews do.
If I was president, I'd do diplomatic missions but it'd just be hanging out with dudes playing with fireworks.
Your racist uncle tells the same story except about how "thugs" want to rob you if you go into the wrong hood lol it's so obvious
This is just the liberal Marks Wayne Mullins or whatever who claims he drives without a seatbelt in DC bc the car jackers are so bad đ
Lol this discourse can't but help generate the liberal version of conservative rhetoric about cities. This is the I'm afraid to ride the subway except for libs and it's very funny
Dude the only thing Trump hates more than immigrants is someone making a buck off of his name without a cut. There are two separate trump burger owners facing deportation now
Lol the guardian is crazy for this one
Just got a call from my homie Barron Baron and he said his dad isn't feeling so hot. Prayers up.
Wow super cool thanks for sharing!
Really powerful parametric modeling tool for 3D printing.
Access to health care makes people more pro social. Rural hospital closure increase rep share of vote by as much as 10 percent. Closing a hospital doesn't own the cons - opening a community college and clinic with gender affirming care does
I mean I agree - if a place has bad governance you should defund their hospitals and schools to teach them a lesson.
Very likely the Administration will seek Supreme Court review.
You basically sound like a liberal version of my racist uncle who I've gotten into arguments with because he complains about how people in urban areas are welfare queens and section 8 and crime rates and yadayadayada why should his tax dollars go to that
Idk why you need to do this whole beloved thing for. I believe quality health care, education and housing are basic elements of a free society that should be equally accessible. These communities having deficits doesn't just hurt them, it also hurts me.
Oh buddy thinks it's one judge...
Thanks for your work on this, what is the likelihood we will see an appeal?
Right which is why I am in favor of a robust system of emergency medical care even though I will not benefit from it all the time. Same reason I want good schools in rural areas.
You believe you will have political power to allocate funding and make funding decisions but not political power to increase funding. Lol okay - also I don't live in a rural area - I just recognize health care as a public good
If you want a system in which 1 out of every 3 voting adults and all children and non voters are punished for a crime they didn't commit - you might just wanna join the Republican party
Yeah really those kids need to learn the consequences of their own vote and also the 40 percent of people who voted for Dems and are working to grow the party.
You are imagining a future when Dems are in power which is far fetched but can imagine anything but this false choice? Drop the voters will stuff - you want immigrants rounded up in red counties? You gonna go with what they want?
You know that studies have routinely shown that rural hospital closures drive Republican vote share up as much as 10 points because voters lose even more trust in society and governments ability to solve problems right?
But generally all social programs, why do you have to
I want gender affirming care and mental health treatment available and accessible to everyone no matter how their neighbors voted. If you imagine a future where Democrats are in power you can imagine a future where we have the funding.
The response to someone not wanting to be in society should not be to celebrate the further destruction of society - which affirms the og goal of the person not wanting to be in society. Part of being free is contributing to things you don't directly benefit from. Schools and hospitals are that.
The thing is you are so focused on the morality element and vengeance you don't care what impact it has on society. If you can show me stats showing positive outcomes from rural hospital closures I'll be happy to reevaluate.
Okay but like surely this type of stuff you'd agree is malice and has little to do with reasonable discussions of recourse allocation
You don't want emergency medical care if you were traveling?
Health officials under JB Pritzker, who is showing how to take on Trump, are moving forward. They're exploring buying vaccines in bulk themselves. Mass. Gov Maura Healey is in talks with multiple other states about coordinating purchasing of pediatric vaccines. newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Rural urban is not even that strong of a predictor of voting patterns - you get a hell of a lot stronger predictor from religious attendance.
Idk what that means - both because that account is DSA right? And also bc it seems to me that fantasizing about hurting perceived political opponents but restricting it to some budgeting gamesmanship that only tangentially hurts your target is kinda peak norm.
It's not about social safety net or actual serious funding discussions - it's about the fantasy of dividing the country into good and bad and then meteing out what people "deserve". It's an attractive fantasy for people rn.
This seems uhhh significantly different that just a question of resource allocation
This I think is misguided. In fact there are lots of studies that show for instance the closure of a hospital in rural areas INCREASES Republican votes share between 5 and 10 percent. Also I would like medical care when I'm not at home
Next week it'll be September. So far no sign of Republicans standing up to Trump in any meaningful way.
Do you know who wrote that opinion piece?
A DIY enthusiast turned an off-the-shelf window air conditioner into a super-efficient geothermal cooling system (COP around 8 [!!] by his measurements and calculations) for *$700 all in*. I love it so much - just wish he'd have added a reversing valve to make it a heat pump! youtu.be/s-41UF02vrU
Sabby Sabs: "Why does the West call [Putin] a dictator?" Convicted pedophile Scott Ritter: "Because they're stupid. Because they're ignorant. Because they're dumber than dirt."
đ¨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member âyou need to get the f*ck out of here. Iâm going to make you leave.â
WTFâď¸ ICE arrested two firefighters who were fighting an active fire in WAâs Olympic Peninsula
I just don't think it works like that. I also think the rural urban divide is really not a strong corelate for voting trends. Education is a much much stronger predictor of support for Trump than rural / urban
Well I for one would like access to emergency medical care when traveling.
From my reading studies show between a 5 and 10 percent increase in Republican performance post hospital closures. You aren't making that up. You also lose the impact the medical staff have on the community.
For sure, a lot of the replies seemed to think - ah this will make people get it, they'll see their hospital closed and regret their vote.
And also like look at the type of responses this has attracted. Pretty ugly stuff. Also the og poster is just profoundly ignorant about the effects of hospital closures on voting. Hint it drives up Republican votes bc people lose faith in the govt and society.
I can't emphasize enough how fascist this whole conception of the world is, right down to picking racialized names to represent rural vs urban. Cool very nice.
I don't get how this shit is acceptable - it's literally just homicidal.
Very disturbing - couldn't believe how much content folks are consuming is just "streamers"
I feel like I could do something really damning with how the modern left's admiration has largely shifted from politicians & civic leaders - people who have to deliver political results - to celebrities, artists, influencers and actors, who are held accountable only for making the audience feel good
Do Dearborn and Muhammed now. Or does that not sound good?
Notice how he won't do Dearborn or Lakewood?
Remove Kebab is directly from the genocide of Bosnia. It is directly Fascism, straight from the Milosevic, Karadic, etc. line. Itâs also what Breivik and others believed in the European Fascist and Neo-Nazi circles, spreading it globally.
I'd forgotten that the Jade Helm conspiracy machine started with "Infowars correspondent" Joe Biggs, the future Proud Boy and convicted J6 seditionist who later started the "Michael Hastings was murdered" conspiracy theory and led the storming of the Capitol. themikerothschild.com/2025/08/27/j...
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimesâassaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justiceâthey can be prosecuted.
I mean meds and eds are how you turn a town blue so idk why you'd want to give that up.
And Lakewood and Dearborn too
One of the major planks of the coming reconstruction is planting our flag in deep rural areas through healthcare, education, etc. Whether they like us or not we need to bring as much solid government service that works, and is seen to work. An uphill battle but necessary.
Lol what are we even doing here. It's very funny he limits this to rural counties. Do Dearborn now.
Lol very big talk from the account that wanted public schools to segregate their students by gender during certain activities so religious extremists wouldn't get upset.
Lol this same account was saying that public schools should gender segregate certain activities to make religious communities feel more accepted.
imagine being an investor and thinking that the US government, with a trump regime at its helm, would ever honor its financial commitments
It's really kind of beautiful how his flunkies do these little maneuvers and then he explicitly blows them up less than an hour later. 13:49 *BESSENT: PUBLIC TRUST GIVES FEDERAL RESERVE ITS CREDIBILITY 14:44 *TRUMP: WILL HAVE MAJORITY SHORTLY ON FED
Ah but have you considered that everyone in NK likes their leader?
On February 3, 2010, argentine president Cristina Kirchner fired the head of the central bank, setting off a 15 year spiral of inflation that would eventually peak last year at 220%. Let's say, on that day, you bought lunch for $20 argentine pesos. Today, that same lunch would cost you $4,156 pesos
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
