  • Volunteers will undergo a seven-week training program on how to better engage these voters, including sessions on “active listening” and “having difficult conversations about politics”.

    Seven weeks of paychecks for the consultants, but the party members they actually want to go out and do the real work of talking to people are just expected to volunteer. Sounds like the Democratic party I know and loathe.

  • This seems like a plausible story, except Chuck Grassley is telling it. Has this been independently verified by someone who isn't a corrupt idiot?

  • Yeah, if you do mutual aid lefty stuff for any amount of time you will almost certainly end up volunteering alongside a religious person who's there for religious reasons at some point, and anybody who tries to kick an ally out of an antifascist coalition over a religious dispute may as well be a collaborator. If they're there because god told them to, they're there and that's what matters.

  • Yeah, a better version of this article would talk about how Minneapolis has actually always been a kinda radical town, from the general strike in the 30s, AIM being founded there in the 60s, and the whole co-op wars stupidity that happened in the 70s, all the way through the RNC and Occupy protests in the 2000s. Like, there have been self identified anarchists in that city for almost a hundred years at least, and that has got at least as much to do with what we're seeing as "patriotic and Christian values" do.

  • Nah, the more she suffers the less she's able to do her job and inflict suffering on many other people (including sick kids, btw). This is good news.

  • Speaking as someone who didn't read the article I think it's pretty cool people are being inspired by the French Revolution

  • "Bloodline" by Mon Rovîa and "What of Our Nature" by Haley Heynderickx and Max García Conover when I want lyrics,

    Makaya McCraven's "Techno Logic" "The People’s Mixtape" "Hidden Out" and "PopUp Shop" (4 EPs he released on the same day that are basically one inconveniently packaged double album), Sholto's "Letting go of Forever," and "Car Alarm" by Pat's Soundhouse when I don't

  • The fact that she's in favor of this tells me it's a completely worthless reform

  • It was in keeping with how they totally caved on the actual underlying policy and accepted the GOP's ideas there too at least

  • Made for a pretty good Decemberists song at least

  • Oh man, another delivery from Cyberpunk Dystopia Cliche of the Month Club?! We have got to cancel that membership

  • Yeah, it puts paperwork barriers between aid and the people who need it, and it usually ends up costing more money than it "saves" by kicking needy people out of programs anyway

  • It's a bit of "this guy will cut government oversight on us like he did in 2008 and it will work out great for everyone like it did in 2008" and bit of "finally, an adult in the room Trump will have to listen to, that certainly hasn't been tried a million times before," but the main thing to know is that Wall Street is dumb as shit

  • "Somehow still less of an affront to humanity than Melania !"

  • We've never seen this in nature before, these are levels of cringe scientists had only previously theorized being possible

  • Eh, I think there is also some insider betting that goes on. Like, how hard would it be for someone with classified knowledge of attack plans to bet some country is going to get bombed right before pushing the button?

  • Bit idea: the Howard Johnson's scene from Mad Men but with a millennial taking their gen z partner to a starbucks

  • It would be kinda funny that a famously orange man is persecuting a Mr. Lemon if not for the whole "there's a tyrant trying to stomp the last vestiges of the American free press out of existence and I don't know if anyone's gonna stop him" thing
