What we need is thoughts and prayers.
Praying we get lucky again and the one that happens tomorrow doesnt kill OUR children.
Thoughts about how terror stricken we are by the idea of any gun regulation whatsoever.

Looking back I'm glad everyone got together for the No Kings protest on a warm Saturday. It really clearly made a difference. Not as much as the George Floyd protests and certainly not as much as Occupy Wall Street, but again we used all our social capital for genuine positive social change!

Per the most recent interpretation of the 10th amendment, it's illegal for the federal gov to send military to a state that didnt request it.
Isnt everyone in the National Guard and ICE in a state not their own "following illegal orders"?
Seriously looking for an answer.

What on earth makes rescinding some trial by juries an 'abomination'? What, per se, is so great and fundamental to the rule of law of a trial by jury?
A jury is common citizens that have no prior knowledge of law, procedure, investigation, and if the last election taught us anything, democracy.

Anyone that knows about the beginnings of the Nazi Regime is aware that Putin's following the same playbook.
It was evident when he invaded two provinces in Georgia and has been creeping over the rest ever since.
Give him what he wants in Ukraine and it will be just like Czechoslovakia in the 30s.

It must be nice to live in a country that still punishes an ex president for committing and failing at a coup to remain in power.
As opposed to cowardly absolving and allowing them to run for the office again without any conditions whatsoever (even, say, convictions of multipe felonies).

Problem w depression in movies is theres always a cause. When i was a kid i used to tell people my parents were dead, hoping thatd either shut them up or get them to stop asking me why im always so sad.
Because the movies taught us theres always a cause. So i didnt have a right to be sad.

This is great; Trump's own personal bankruptcy ran to about 8 billion. Which wasn't enough for him. Seems the only way to make the people foot an even larger bill is to become President.

In the US we celebrate Labor Day in September as opposed to May Day when it is celebrated internationally.
Why?
May Day is a holiday originating IN THE US where the 1886 Chicago Police riot and subsequent State Murders of 8 men not responsible occurred.
