Idk committing a mass shooting seems like assimilating to US culture just fine.

Kind of funny to think how many local governance issues could be fixed if more employees responded to [request for dysfunctional rule sidestepping] with "no"

it also deprives legislators of this feedback! I would explain the law to applicants and then send them to their councilmembers to ask for a change in the zoning law & got so many emails and calls from CMs ranging from confused to hostile.

Don’t worry, citizens! The gop will absolutely stop this pogrom once they get enough. They would never turn the weapon on you!

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

So I'm pretty sure a three star knows that an order to strike alleged combatants who are hors de combat is facially illegal, in case anyone's still having any hangups on whether Bradley needs to be in the dock after this

Given the justification was in part because they might communicate with someone, pete could ask Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and his XO what the law of armed conflict says about that, except oops, the allies shot them dead in 1945 after a trial

elaborating on "construction funds tied to abolishing zoning"

the 21 year old drinking age is a patchwork of state laws created by tying federal highway funds to a mandate

we do this, but for "municipalities get $x in construction subsidies only if they have no more than x% single family zoning"

Feels much more like a dotcom bubble or S&L crisis type issue than a global financial crisis, but things are otherwise fragile and our leaders are very stupid right now.

Just got the word that the Trump administration is throwing a brilliant medical researcher friend of mine out of the country because they’re Chinese. Insane and unreal. Literally doing research in the US to help the US

Especially with the BBC reporting more details on his history--if accurate, he would've been a child soldier working with a black-on-black op CIA-affiliated kill squads that basically just Did A Bunch of Murders all the time. That's not exactly something people emerge from *mentally okay*.

A lot of people seem amazingly incapable of understanding the concept of “A psychotic break makes people do irrational things, like driving across the country to kill people”

Neither is particularly likely compared to "this guy was cracked by trauma and then told he or some of his friends were going to be deported, and he broke"

Faculty voted against this move almost unanimously. If we ever get free of this mess I hope it's clear that faculty and not administrators need to be in charge of the academy

Mejia spent a long time working for relatively progressive-leaning unions before she went to NJ WFP and then Bernie, she'll be excellent

Mejia would more than make up for the loss of Bonnie Watson Coleman and that's saying a lot because Bonnie Watson Coleman is quietly fucking excellent and ten toes down for every progressive cause from labor to Palestine to abortion
