He has faced a grand total of one primary opponent who got 4% of the vote. So the party doesn't seem to mind.

That is a Gabriel hound which doesn't entirely beat the allegations.

As a Quaker who is mildly sympathetic to Herbert Hoover, this is the fundamental lesson of his presidency and something he never understood.

Shit like this is why AI should be banned and every data centre should be set alight.

Pretty sure if Dartmouth hadn't been the site of significant labor struggle over the past few years, this doesn't
happen.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

It's not even that Halloween isn't already a consumption focused holiday with its own retinue of plastic trash. Just an eternal sugar high for the last quarter of the year.

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump’s first appearance in the New York Times was when the Nixon Justice Dept. sued him and his father for refusing to rent apartments to black people.

I am very glad that AL Lloyd, Alan Lomax, Woodie Guthrie and others were lefty in the 30's because the alternative would have been so bad.

Howard Husock of right-wing American Enterprise Institute has a book out on US public housing which praises the "Atlanta Model" of demolishing most of its public housing. Claims the unemployment rate of residents dropped a lot.

Maybe because most of the lowest-income families were displaced & gone!

The words could be mashed into common meter, at least in terms of syllable count, but the music pretty clearly wants to do away with two syllables on the third line.
8 and then 6.6.6 in other words.

Defining antifa as a terrorist organization just means you can label anyone you want as antifa. Kind of like they do with terrorism.

I lived in fracking country for a while and the methane leakage was evident and very clearly under discussed, but you could not get people to look past the 'cleanness' of the fuel.

I seriously don't get how apartments not getting built is the left's fault. The neighborhoods most protective of prohibitive zoning are centrist at most.
