Liberal groups have filed lawsuits in Colorado, Minnesota and other states to bar Trump from the ballot, citing a rarely used constitutional prohibition against holding office for those who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution but then “engaged in insurrection” against it. The two-sentence clause in the 14th Amendment...
Probably not, nothing advocates hate more than learning someone is specifically going out of their way to avoid them having a stage. Doesn’t matter if it hits the other side too, if you’re fired up enough to be in the streets you’re probably also fired up enough to be outraged by any act that even implies equivocation by affecting both sides equally.
Do any of them have a voting base who take issues with their stances on Israel? Rashida Tlaib is straight up a Palestinian American and beat a censure vote over it.
I mean Israel’s main allies in the US are christofascists because of their stupid doomsday cult prophecy that for some reason nobody ever feels like calling them out on
Florida was a swing state, Florida is full of Cubans who hate the Cuban government, Cuba is run by dirty socialists anyways, also they almost blew us up that one time that the boomers are probably all still traumatized from.
That last one isn’t a joke, THE SOVIETS were the ones who had to put a stop to Castro calling the launch, and him making them do that is why basically no world government has since cared enough about Cuba to do more about it than calling one of these votes the US will ignore anyways for reasons cited above. Similar to how nobody gave two shits when Iran’s embassy in Afghanistan was the target of a terrorist attack well before the US deployed.
But yeah, the funny part is that DeSantis might have actually saved Cuban American relations by driving Florida so far to the right it banned Democrats from wasting time on any strategic thinking on how to appease the Cubans in Florida. One of those lesser “once the boomers die” possibilities with the upcoming super progressive generation in the party.
Or we could just outlaw homeschooling and take away parental rights for anyone who tries to do it anyways.
Child abuse, child marriages, child SA, and parentification numbers would plummet over night once these fundy bastards lost their ability to breed new cultists like rabbits.
That or they tell you 26 because they became the kinda “I’m so smart” bugger raised by doctorate parents that insists on answering in base 12 so they can turn it into a lecture about how great base 12 is.
So there are people who think with or without internal monologue, common knowledge
Some people think that the internal monologue may have first developed as an internal dialogue, between the actor, the person and their body, and the “speaker” who they would have not been able to recognize as their own voice, and instead interpreted as a separate being relaying them direction, commands, and interpretation.
The dissociation between the individual and their internal monologue, and the resulting association of that monologue with a directing and counseling presence, could have been taken as the voice of a higher power guiding them, and by extension, others they got to follow them as the “speaker” of this divinity in their head.
If this sounds a bit crazy to you consider how many evangelicals rant and rave about their personal speaking term relationship with God.
So basically, deific religion might derive from people who have an internal monologue but who don’t identify with the speaker of that internal monologue.
Not really a mental disorder so much as a mode of thought that is prone to lead people into believing firmly that they are personally in contact with a separate being who personally directs their behavior and actions and values.
Every student not in public education is money not in public education, literally every state that permits home schooling sees to that via those god forsaken voucher programs.
The student does exist though, so them leaving the system and taking the money is stealing from the community pot because you don’t want your kid to mix with the poors.
It’s literally what they’re doing, if you think it’s dumb take it up with the dumb politicians who have it out for education that’s legally required to not teach kids the world’s 6000 years old.
The voucher program hands parents the money the schools would have gotten for having their child enrolled and lets them spend it on a private school with an agenda or a homeschooling program with an agenda instead.
Literally it exists entirely to take money that should have gone to the public school system and letting all the rich and white families siphon it off to totally not segregated private school classrooms and totally not creationist and quiverfull homeschool programs.
If ya don’t believe me just look at the rate of adoption of these kinds of programs and enrollment of rich and white kids in these kinds of programs pre and post Brown V Board.
These systems were concocted by segregationists for segregationists to maintain educational segregation and inequality.
It’s also probably to disincentivize applications period, the HR nuts will come up with every excuse otherwise but the real reason for all the job application hoops to jump through is because HR fuckers hate actually doing their dammed jobs and intentionally make the process as hard and annoying as possible so they don’t have to look through as many applications.
“Officials said that Israel and Egypt were prepared to let foreigners leave the Strip which is under heavy Israeli bombardment, but Hamas had refused.”
You could only ACTUALLY get rid of Hamas by getting rid of the current Israeli leadership, because even if you actually knocked out Hamas themselves, the Israeli leadership will just gin up a replacement Hamas to be their strawman in Gaza until they’ve bombed their way into settlerizing Gaza same way they’re doing to the West Bank.
What do you ACTUALLY think women who are being forced by their families or communities to wear the veil are going to do with this kind of ban in place?
If you guessed anything other than “become a domestic prisoner”, you’re wrong and have no place spouting off about this shit.
This is the hostile architecture of multicultural feminism. You’re not helping shit, you’re just pushing the problem into the corners where it isn’t going to be seen by anyone who could raise the issue.
The United States is warning Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to rein in “extremist” settlers in the West Bank in the wake of reports of violence against Palestinians. “We…
Yeah except the person you’re responding to probably doesn’t hold all of Gaza responsible for what Hamas has done since being voted into power.
Also, the Israeli left actually now has their own egotistically altruistic motive to shut down the settler shit, that being that shutting off the valve of right of return and no longer counting the votes of settlers in the west bank gives them an electoral edge.
And after the shit Bibi’s pulled, you could bet good money that the courts would look the other way on them doing it too since the judges will for a long time see right wing governments as a threat to their judicial autonomy.
The White House kicked off a multiagency push on Friday to help finance real-estate developers convert more office buildings in big cities emptied by the pandemic into affordable housing, taking aim at the nation’s housing crisis....
Tbf the gamergate saga basically caused the infrastructure to have a rolling panic attack over how that such a large movement to insert misinformation against any effort to correct it.
You don’t even need to know exactly, soon as you start doing something she likes, just keep doing that consistently, until she starts grinding on you, then you gotta keep up with her pace.
Antisemitic incidents in the United States rose by about 400% in slightly over two weeks since war broke out in the Middle East after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, advocacy group Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said Wednesday. Read more at straitstimes.com.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a surprise meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing on Wednesday after being warmly welcomed by other senior leaders in a display of friendliness that stands in sharp contrast to the dialogue between the United States and China in recent years....
I doubt it, Newsom is ambitious but not a risk taker with the big players.
Directly challenging the sitting president is basically all but begging for him to be ostracized from all levers of power within the party, and opening himself up to be ran against in any position where he’d otherwise have been safe as incumbent for the rest of his life

The one where you become immune to effects that are predicated on printed text of some kind, and where your capstone is becoming so inconceivably stupid that you become an active drain on the intelligence scores of anything within a mile wide radius of your dumb as a sack of rocks self.
Maybe not all the members of her coalition are cooperating? IDK if there are multiple parties in government right now in Iceland but I do know Germany’s been having serious problems getting anything done because of the FDP
The problem is that just having the income and savings doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’ll be as good about paying back a loan as someone of your same income and savings.
That’s supposed to be where the credit score helps, but the current system is so shady that it basically just reads as the ol’ boys club system but asking pretty please to pretend there’s a formula and method being used.
You’re showing way too much faith in the institutions that invented the red lining in the first place to imply that the ol’ boys club system wasn’t waaaaay more rife with systemic racism.
The post war recovery laws were literally lobbied to specifically exclude black folks, but sure, home buying was easier for them then than it was post credit scores.
It might have been “illegal” but lenders were still basically doing it anyways, just calling it everything else imaginable. Shit they still do it when they think they’ll get away with it, folks have actually tested it, real estate brokers list houses shown by white “owners” at higher values than those shown by black “owners”
IIRC it is specifically attributed to a magazine or paper that the British Communist Party had put out where one especially sadistic supporter of the authoritarians actually pre-empted the response by demanding the Soviets “send in the tanks.”
That doesn’t refute that liberal democracies have averaged better at protecting them than any of the alternatives thus far, just that liberal democracies have the highest standard achievable, which basically nobody but ultra patriotic conservatives would be arguing.
Like 90% of leftist gripe with “liberals” is problems conservatives either have a monopoly on or are far worse enough at that leftists always attacking liberals over it first comes across as tone deaf to the current political realities.
It’s the equivalent of freaking out that the LHC might have made a mini black hole when TON-618 is standing right behind you.
Conservatives want to shoot gay people in the streets but let’s not let that stop us from reminding everyone that the liberals who don’t want that to happen are also bad because they have outdated economic and foreign policy views.
Leftists have gotta stop picking fights with liberals as if they are the only other side of the discussion in the room, and that they’re the worst other side.
I would love to live in a world where Joe Biden was the standard bearer of the relative right wing in America, but that is not the case even remotely, and high and mighty leftists do not make me feel like we will move any closer to such a future when they have to be harangued shamed and bullied into checking some marks on a piece of paper to keep as many fascists out of office as possible.
I just text my parents if I feel like they need to know where I’m at, worked for me from middle school all the way to me living independently today.
Like a phone’s location services can be turned on remotely if an emergency calls for it, but as long as I’m good with my family then the vast majority of the likelihood I’ll ever need to know where my kid is while they can’t communicate with me is null since like 80% of kidnappings are over custody battles or other related family disputes.
Well yeah I meant being able to turn it on via family controls.
Just because I wouldn’t be using it personally save for an emergency doesn’t mean I wouldn’t rather my kid have it in the event of an emergency.
Of course they aren’t getting a phone period until they’re old enough that I feel comfortable they’re olden and wisen enough to let out of my sight for stuff other than school clubs and playdates.
