The thing that always gets me is that every single metric ahead of the Civil War showed that the South was going to get wrecked. Even after Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Atlanta…they still kept fighting. Bread riots in 1863: Still fighting. Even in the ruins, they blamed the North, not themselves.
saw someone say right-wingers on SNAP are soon going to have to decide if being racist is worth being hungry, as though the entire mechanism by which fascist populism propagates isn't convincing people to vote for being hungry by enticing them with the chance to be racist

I don't think this is what people understood Harrell's reparations proposal to be. I think he suggested this was going to be new money dedicated to the descendants of Black enslaved people. Instead, it could literally be just tacking the word "reparations" onto something they're already doing.

@seattletimes.com why do you mischaracterize Katie Wilson in your opinion piece today? Her debate response (and press release she sent out) is clearly responding to this article which is about officers not complying with the terms of their current contract. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Wondering about those two ballot options 1A & 1B? The choice between the two - if you *don’t* want to siphon off existing housing funds prioritized for very low income housing & housing for unhoused people- is clear! Vote 1A. 1B is bad news!
