You are guilty of aiding and abetting genocide and ethnic cleansing.

No state has a right to exist, especially not an apartheid state committing genocide.

So you support genocide and modern day neonazis. Good to know.

To do that we must dismantle Israel which continue genocide against the Palestinian people and whose efforts support anti-semites the world over and propagate it through using Judaism as a shield for atrocity. We also must understand that Oct 7th emerged due to Israel's treatment of Palestinians

To start. We'll also need to target Fox News and every propaganda arm of the regime.

I wasn't saying you were, I'm stating that ICE isn't communicating with them so they're not present because they don't know they should be. There are places in the country where the kidnappings are over in 5 minutes.

Oh for sure. The power players cannot be left to conspire to destroy the country again. We made that mistake after the Civil War and probably could've avoided this mess by just seizing every asset of the plantation owners and not leaving them a single penny.

I ran for office with the idea that we need an external authority specifically to gun for ICE and our local white nationalists.

ICE doesn't have to communicate with local LEO and often times doesn't. ICE are criminals and there have been cases where they've ran people over. Assaulting people with tear gas because they're uncomfortable is the latest instance of their crime spree.

Property damage is not the same as damage to people. Do not prop up that false equivalency.

06.10.2025 00:04 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

It doesn't matter what starts it. There's a proper escalation and you don't just start tear gassing people because you're not comfortable. That can do permanent damage and it ends up effecting the whole neighborhood. Don't give them license to assault your neighbors.

4) Though I'd still love to see the accident data with those other factors controlled for even with a redesign of roadways. You certainly don't have to wait on it to make our roads better.

3) That all said, the obvious answer is to redesign roadways. Making them more cluttered and less 'open' results in drivers being more cautious. EG, driving slower. Anxious drivers tend to be better drivers as they're more attentive to the road. So the easiest solution is good old social engineering

2) That might result in an increased likelihood of an accident. So if you don't control for WHY people are driving slower than average then there's an immediate issue with your data collection and the conclusions from it.

1/ The problem is speed limits are set based upon average speed because people traveling above and below that tend to end up in crashes. THAT SAID, one of the issues I take with that is that people who go below the speed limit tend to be: Older, intoxicated, or have some other causative factor.

To put it mildly, the right wing of this country are nothing more than criminals and terrorists. When they aren't busy attacking people they're busy manufacturing their latest excuse as to why they should be given free reign to do so.

I'd go a step further. 6 of the justices need to be arrested and tried for treason.

Along with Trump, Kegseth, and every ICE agent.

We gotta build the capacity. Get lines of communication going. Make it so that we can declare a strike and have people follow through.

Seriously time for General Strike.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

This is why things like 100% employment is avoided like crazy, because it inverses the power dynamic. If workers can quit a job at any time and switch positions, they hold all of the cards and dictate terms. A certain amount of precarity is managed so that this doesn't occur.

I think we should have a wage cap. Like no one can be paid more than 4x what the lowest paid person in the US makes at a full time spot (including benefits).

I think that's just a bare minimum. We also need free/low cost daycare. I've encountered numerous parents who struggled to balance the need to bring home a paycheck and making certain their kids are taken care of.

Beyond the need to connect up to your community and to an organization it's important that in turn similar networks form between organizations. Critical support is, well, critical in this moment. Developing parallel lanes and solidarity is necessary.

Not really. Murdoch's companies pretty much function as state media.
