One of the American I shared office space with lashed out that Canadian didn’t have any ‘real’ Black people so we had to borrow them from Jamaica to compete as athletes in Track and Field.
That’s a crazy assertion. What’s the implication, Canada should have more actively participated in chattel slavery, had it’s own emancipation proclamation and civil war, and then introduced birthright citizenship in order to have ‘real’ Black Canadians?
They’re just implementing their Final Solution to the Palestinian Question.
You’re absolutely right.
But even white women are getting detained for two weeks before being sent home. If it can be like that for them, how much worse can it be for everyone else. She managed to get access to another detainee’s phone and got her story out too. How many others are detained right now that we’ll never hear about…
Feels similar to a filibuster that was actually just an extended speech.
It looks like the appearance of action, without consequence.
Cause that worked so well last time, twice.
You mean the programming socks?
Yeah, seems like there’s at least as many people watching online as there are in-person, so 70k+ total seeing it live
This site says about 80% of his viewers are logged-in Twitch users for this stream. Which is about the same as it was for his stream from yesterday.
As I understand it, it’s not that 20% are definitely bots or that 80% are definitely “real” viewers, but that there’s a greater likelihood of non-logged-in viewers could be bots. I believe if you watch Twitch from an embedded video on another site then you’d be included in the non-logged-in view count.
Another 3-4k watching live on Bernie’s Twitch channel, plus 31-32k on Hasan’s.
Any such move on the part of the Trump administration is certain to be challenged in court.
Yeah, how’d that go last time?
How the White House ignored a judge’s order to turn back deportation flights
Trump administration argues judge can’t order the return of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador
But hey, I was not brown.
Court records show the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Canada, to execute a search warrant at Cottle’s residence
Bad Canada. Stop helping those who threaten you.
an expectation of privacy even in public spaces
Anyone with this expectation in a post-Patriot Act world has not been paying attention.
I mean… It’s not like the signs weren’t there.
In 2016 I thought that social democracy could reform the neoliberalism of the past 40 years and put us back on a new deal pathway, but the more I watch “left-wing” parties capitulate to ring-wing parties, the less hope I have that capitalism can be saved. America needs a real opposition party immediately.
I wouldn’t minimize the comparability when there are such blatant examples of Trump utilizing Nazi propaganda like the Big Lie and the demonization of an out-group, like the Nazi’s antisemitic populism, to gain power.
Prior the Reichstag fire, the Nazi’s electoral high point was 37% in 1932 (or 31% of Germans at 82% turnout), compared with Trump at 49.8% last year (or 31.8% of Americans at 64% turnout). The point being that you don’t need a significant buy-in from the people to elevate leaders with dictatorial motives. You simply need a triggering event which they can use to justify their consolidation of power permanently.
Also, if the desire is to avoid authoritarian leadership, I’m not sure military coup is the play. I know the American Armed Forces swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, but it seems that would get real tricky once you’ve overthrown the Commander in Chief, in defiance of the Constitutionally mandated chain of command.
That’s crazy. I too am a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
