If I hear another so-called political expert and talking head perpetuate utter lies like political parties ‘sending’ or ‘directing’ their preferences to other parties I’m gunna vomit.
They can’t do this, they can only *suggest* how to vote, nothing more.
We choose the preferences, choose wisely!

This is like UBI where it’s proven to be true over and over again but if you say “defund the police” somehow you’re an unrealistic extremist. Maddening.
"A mobile, community-led crisis response team based in six communities across British Columbia is showing that police don't have to be involved in mental health emergency calls."
"99% of [their] calls were resolved without involving police."

Horrific. Too many women dying at the hands of men.
Equally tragic, yet largely unrecognised, DV involves control, coercion, cruelty, abuse in every way bar laying hands on.
Police and society must recognise these as well.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

In fact, it is offensively ridiculous to think that any but a handful of people disappeared by ICE will be able to file habeas corpus, because it relies on them having informed families with connections to available knowledgeable lawyers with time and resources to act instantly.
How the FedSoc judges on SCOTUS want you think habeas corpus works:

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
