I’m not sure what your picture is implying, can you elucidate?

The support of illegal aliens is a fair question. It's basically a victimless crime, one many citizens benefit from economically, and there's worry of how mass deportation will affect citizens with blended status families. It also doesn't assume a support of those who perpetrate harmful crimes.

If they're following due process, why keep them in gitmo? The prison there was created specifically to circumvent habeas corpus. One of Obama's biggest broken promises was failing to close it down. it's also insanely expensive: www.niskanencenter.org/the-offshore...

I’m always surprised when gitmo has supporters. It was created as a way to get around due process; I thought we as Americans had more respect for the law.

Propaganda specifically comes from the government to further political agendas. While the news might, by necessity, be selective in the information it shares, it IS sharing facts. To dismiss vetted news sources is to erode foundational aspects of our democracy

This is a bold claim without proof. They’re a vetted news organization with cited sources, fact checkers, and standards they must uphold or face consequences. All news will have bias in terms of what they cover, but this isn’t an opinion piece or commentary like what you’ll find on MSBNC or FOX.

This needs to be a published article.

I think I need you to define electroacoustic music. I’d call what you’re describing musique concrète or other forms of electronic or performer-less music, is that accurate? When I hear “electroacoustic” I assume it means a mix of electronic and acoustic elements.

really? I figured the spread of avian flu would be a product of modern farming practices where you've got thousands of birds in closer proximity. Like, if I had 2-4 chickens in my backyard, would that really exacerbate the problem?

the floor is all yours, I'd love to hear more about this extremely spicy hot take.

Man, are you trying to start a fight? Lol

honestly that would be the most scathing political commentary

My point was really about the linguistic construction and how we make assumptions based on social hierarchies. I guess that leaves the fundamental question: how do you define what a woman is?
February 5, 2025 at 6:12 PM
you’re right, that’s speculation. There is a Gaza in Mozambique, and Mozambique does receive contraceptive aid, so it’s assumed there was a misunderstanding about which Gaza was being referenced. The article clearly states the only Middle East contraceptive aid went to Jordan, about $46k worth.

I think your point was that trans women aren’t women but pseudo-women, is that accurate? By the same logic African Americans, or any sub group are only pseudo-Americans, which I think is inaccurate and problematic. The logical parallel would be that both trans and cis women are both simply “women”.

I’m curious to look into this too, do you have a cited source for these numbers?
February 5, 2025 at 4:51 PM
It reminds me of how we create sub groups for Americans based on ethnicity. We have African-American, Asian-American, etc, but don’t use a European-American designation even though it’d be more accurate to do since all of the above are simply “Americans”.
