That claim is so goofy. There’s too much money to be made in NYC, even with higher taxes. Furthermore, three city is a cultural center that they absolutely want to be a part of.

If they have learned that, I also hope the memory lasts.

Latino men knew this policy position when they joined the cauc block in re-electing Trump. I’m frankly surprised they’ve swung back.

Via war and it’s fallout, yes. The disruption to food, safe water, shelter, medical care, etc can increase the death toll well beyond direct casualties. Those are the most immediate effects, which doesn’t take into account the extreme pollution caused by munitions or burning structures/vehicles. All this is also only considering the use of “conventional” weapons.

“You love to see it, folks!”

This is a very common theme in both successful and unsuccessful attempts at totalitarian takeovers. Essentially blaming the opposition for specific issues/events, followed by a crackdown, then a “restructuring” (for managed opposition e.g. Zimbabwe’s Tsvangirai) or completely outlawing the existence of such parties (Greece under Metaxas). I’m very concerned about the near future. If the Republicans (this is bigger than Trump) are successful in their final push for an authoritarian state, it will result in the death and suffering of billions, guaranteed.

This is about importing foreign white supremacists, not removing whites from Africa.

There are always conclaves within and nearby the city that are deep red. This is often where cops live, which helps maintain the “occupying army” model of policing that dehuminizes the residents.

Voucher schools exist because christofascists found another way to gut funding from public schools and place it in private hands.

Definitely unusual for the business, but I would imagine it’s better for the staff.

My Ma is like this. Growing up, we’d just let her argue for her movie choice and then put on what we wanted in less than 30m 🤣.

Carcinogenic when used externally? That would surprise me, giving how quickly it evaporates. I am a layman, though.

I didn’t know this joke had Yiddish origins. Funnily enough, it was told to me by my Jewish grandmother when she was explaining in a convoluted way that I should sweep before mopping 🤣.

I’ve never seen that in the US. That is extremely stupid. Typically maps in the US center around the Atlantic/Europe.

When they Nazis.

I 100% agree. She should be red flagged.

Harris continues to demonstrate that she is not only was too incompetent for the job, but also 1/3 of the reason we have a fascist administration. The other 2/3 belong to Biden and the DNC for the curious. I don’t think she’s too uneducated to know the difference between communism and fascism, i belive she’s intentionally conflating the two because at the end of the day, she’s still a right wing pig.

I’m pretty sure this is from the video of a dumbass pig having a panic attack because she touched an unknown powder (turned out not to be drugs at all) during a traffic stop because she thought it was fentanyl. Fentanyl does not cross the skins barrier.

What’s your proposal?

There are federal officers and contracted security personnel on many bases. Additionally, in a domestic threat situation, sometimes they coordinate with local law enforcement. There was a false alarm on the air force academy about ten years ago and cspd, along with the sheriff’s office, were part of the clearing effort.
