Their next headline will be âArrested Senator Appears to Highlight Concerns, but Others Say He Interruptedâ

Whoâs going to do the arresting? The police wonât do that. Who is on our side?

They should have abolished ICE and defunded the police when they had the chance. How can we get these agencies under control?

How do we stop these rogue police agencies?

And itâs the same reason why people said âdefund the police,â and it is still right. They are parasites using our resources against us

They have contempt for protest and ordinary people. They think anyone in the streets is a dirty hippie or a radical. They are so misguided that they canât see that they win because of protest and organizing.

I remember going to a lot of late 2000s/early 2010s protests where it was me and then the people who had been coming out since the â80s or earlier. It was a lonely time in some ways but I learned so much from them

But this hasnât passed into law yet. There are still opportunities to use the narrow divide in Congress to change the bill or make it fail. Maybe youâll be right in the end, but weâre not at the end yet.

Iâm not convinced that the IRA approach of delivering money/jobs to red districts has failed. It has, at the very least, complicated the negotiations on Trumpâs budget bill this week and still has the potential to kill it, via pressure on Republicans who have green industries in their districts

This is exactly what congestion pricing advocates said would happen, and why it would have been a better move politically to stick to the original date in June

I wonder if this would also be true of other celebrities with Trumpâs level of fame, like Oprah or the Rock. Is it just about celebrity?

What if I fight like hell for Senate procedures or for my faction of consultants to control the party?

I think itâs because the U.S. is an oligarchy and the political system does not respondâwithout huge organized effortâto the needs of poor people

Some journalists love acting like theyâre judges. âBut it doesnât meet this very specific standard!â Sir, you made that standard up and itâs not an ethical violation to see whatâs in front of your eyes

If they had elected an American pope back in 1200, things would have gone very differently, I can tell you that!

I canât believe how well it is paying off to have been an anti-vax grifter during the worst of the pandemic. Endorse killing kids and a million+ deaths and you get a good, powerful job out of it. Truly sad.

Itâs not a misunderstanding. It is his vision he wants to impose on the world. He understands where things stand now (ie, noncitizens have many due process rights) perfectly well.

Are you a secular Jew? I am, and I grew up in the suburbs (although not that region or time), and this movie speaks to me on an elemental level

This is exactly the outcome that leftists predicted when Keir Starmer won. He is paving the way for fascism in the UK

Itâs deeper than that. Democrats are distancing themselves from protest because of the 2024 Gaza protestsâthey are caught between their base and their donors, and siding with the donors. They won 2020 bc of the energy of the protests then; they lost 2024 because they ran against the protests.

âNasty violence broke outâ â it was violence by Zionists against pro-Palestine protesters. That is why there are now protests being called for. Itâs not a pogrom.

We need to rapidly expand non-car transit options in the congestion zone, to take advantage of what might be the most effective period of time for congestion pricing, before people possibly just factor it into travel cost and come anyway

Would be wonderful to see the government de-privatize space exploration and nationalize Teslaâs car and battery factories so that they could be manufactured and sold at-cost to speed the green transition đ

The correct answer to this is not to be defensive like he is here. Say, Iâve been extremely lucky in this life. And if I get taxed to the point that Iâm a millionaire instead of a billionaire, so that we can have a more equal and functional country, I would be happy.
