Criticism and satire are vital parts of public discourse. Threats of violence are not. We've developed bad behaviors online, saying things behind screens that we'd never say irl. Joking or not, it's a slippery slope. This is about maintaining a space for fierce disagreement.

Another way of looking at this is if each of the US’s 19,000 cities, towns & villages had their own solar thermal plant, THE MEAN AVERAGE would be 2sq km or .77sq miles.
Less than a square mile doesn’t seem so bad, does it.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

I think people are unwilling to give the NYT and its staff the benefit of the doube because they [checks clipboard] have been able to observe and think about the NYT's behavior as an institution on virtually all issues for the last 20 years. Hope this helps
I was at NYT for 7 years & one of a dozen reporters who investigated Epstein’s interactions w/the rich & powerful. I don’t know every conversation held at every level there, but I do know we dedicated ourselves to exposing those who supported Epstein & engaged in the abuse of girls he facilitated

"Fighting" is an interesting way of saying "caving for the promise of something that won't actually happen because the GOP never sticks to their word".

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.
They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.
No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

a joke policy position I’ve contemplated is all $ after x amount is seized by the state for public works/programs HOWEVER the state is then obligated to name every program/improvement after the individual who earned it. Just streamline the “Guy donates $ to get a building named after him” process.
The whole billionaire/trillionaire this is getting a bit ridiculous. We need a law that makes it illegal to possess more than a billion dollars. If you have more than a billion dollars, you have one year to give it away or the state seizes it and pays for people's healthcare.
