Newsom isn’t exactly a paragon of progressive virtues and certainly would continue to benefit from trickle-down policies.
It’s not hard to imagine that he actually likes Reagan’s policies here, never mind that his corporate donors gave him his marching orders.
Sure, but I’m pretty sure the playbook goes back to the dawn of civilization.
It’s pretty unoriginal. They’re following the Nazis playbook.
And I’m pretty sure the Nazis were following someone else’s playbook, I just can’t be bothered to go look at the list of historical assholes
Dude doesn’t know how to apologize.
no. no it did not.
also the “victim” being a broken-dick fuckwit didn’t really help either.
I dunno.
what’s fun about MrHamSandwhich was that it was jury nullification. They didn’t even argue he didn’t do it.
3rd time isn’t apparently not the charm
Apparently she ran out of people willing to shake her hand.
In the raccoon’s defense, he was just trying to give the man CPR.
Getting rid of public acknowledgement about class disparity isn’t going to get rid of class disparity,
that article isn’t recognizing class disparity, though. it’s perpetuating and normalizing it. and yes, the people that are bigots are absolutely also part of the problem. the media is complicit in that, though, including that article.
and they exist, in large part, because articles like this normalize it.
congratulations in defending part of the problem.
And in making that argument, it signals to the racist assholes that the problem being that she’s white, blonde and professional, and therefore the rest are fair game.
which as you say, erodes everyone’s rights. But that’s not particularly important to me. the rights of all are worth protecting even if that weren’t true.
Uhg. FTA:
“She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent. This should be a warning sign for MAGAt as they could be preyed by ICE at any time!”
None of that is a reason to believe she’s not an undocumented immigrant. And being brown, curly-haired, not-a-medical-worker is not any reason to believe they’re an undocumented immigrant.
Is this objectionable behavior by ICE? absolutely. But not because of who the victim is. but because there IS a victim. everyone in this country is protected by the constitution, and afforded the rights of due process- which ICE is flagrantly violating the shit out of.
Can we please stop with the special classes of people like this?
Exactly.
She used a shitty source (and probably nothing else.)
Even if you say psychology is a wishy-washy science, it’s still science. The teacher failed her for not providing empirical evidence based on proper studies. The student is going to have a hard time of it, if her only response is to scream persecution. (And yes, that’s exactly what’s going on here.)
“Freedom of speech” is bullshit. She got to say what she wanted, and now she gets to get the grade she deserves.
FTA:
A psychology student at the University of Oklahoma says the failing grade she received on an essay where she cited the Bible was a violation of her right to free speech. Her instructors said she failed to use empirical evidence and called parts of her essay offensive.
In her essay, which was in response to an article about how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender, junior Samantha Fulnecky wrote that traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes, according to an earlier Oklahoman report. She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating gender in society would be “detrimental” because that would put people “farther from God’s original plan for humans.”
It’s psychology, not religious studies. She got a failing grade because she said thing and used a shitty source to back it up. Psychology is not religious studies.
I like how the DHS account was from Israel.
it could be both, really.
That she’s in it for the grift AND is being threatened.
Because locking up homeless people is a) totally effective policy making and b) totally progressive.
more directly, to the economy, his buddy-buddy relationship with the techbros is… obvious.
while when faced with a ballooning deficit, instead cut healthcare, education, and enviromental programs.
Further, He dropped the ball on his promises and only signed a small handful of progressive goals. for example, allowing striking union members to collect unemployment benefits. The most common excuse was “oh we can’t necessarily afford that, and employers can’t either.”
Remember: Tweets are not policy… and all this fun shit trolling trump probably isn’t even him tweeting it. (most likely, he’s only scarcely aware of it at all.)
The last november election day, every democratic candidate that won, won on progressive platforms. Specifically, platforms that Newsom has a shitty record on. Your argument cuts both ways.
Also, how did all those red votes Harris got work out for her? She’s an awesome president- Oh. wait. that’s right SHE FUCKING LOST.
Do you see how that argument is holding us back? Centrists do not win elections. Alienating your actual base loses elections.
