Yup. Some of them were real during Trump 1. None of the ones I knew personally operating the accounts are operating today, afaik, most are no longer in government.

ADDENDUM - @casten.house.gov has a very long essay on how impeachment requires public will and working the messy levers of democracy. Sir, I am speaking directly to you when I say this: The American people want impeachment. Listen to them. Work those levers

Read project 2025 again. Look at what they've implemented. Look at the language they use. The US is currently ruled by a white supremacist theocratic death cult (see Hegseth, Noem, Johnson, etc)
Your Islamophobia is showing.
Proliferation is bad. The best way to prevent it is diplomacy. Israel

You mean, other than Modi's India, Trump's USA, and Netanyahu's Israel, all of which fit your criteria and have achieved nuclear weapons?
If only there was a diplomatic way to ensure that their enrichment was used for civilian power and not bombs. Something like the Iran nuclear deal.

The greater Boston area has a population of 5 million.
The Boston Marathon gets 500k spectators, so unlikely, but not impossible that a big rally could get 2x

Refreshing to hear a reporter accurately describe this police riot. Everything he saw was non violent until the police decided to get violent.

Violence AGAINST the peaceful protestors. Clarity in communication is important.

Double checking the article, they are sourcing from organizers and combining pride with no kings (which, given that the parades overlapped seems not unreasonable to do.)
But yeah, I'm guessing an over count by the organizers WCVB spoke with?

So the estimate of 1m in Boston was on the high side?

just please remember, whatever the news says about LA after this, that this is *always* how it goes. Everything is extremely calm until the police actively escalate for no reason. It was true during all the BLM protests and it’s true now.
