Constitution, Rule of Law, Peace. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.
Fact-check: DSA's program clear states they want to "establish public ownership of the largest corporations and essential industries". Sounds pretty anti-capitalist to me. program.dsausa.org
Google AI agrees with Ben. But I'm sure there was big difference between general public opinion vs opinion in deep blue cities where DSA is most likely to actually win elections.
They have softened compared to the 2021 platform in the positions they take on their web site. Though I do have to wonder how much their position has really changed. platform.dsausa.org/communities/ --
See page 8. While I am extremely concerned about the state of our democracy and constitutional order, these votes have nothing to do with environmental policy. Including them in the scorecard makes it less useful for understanding your environmental record.
I think we've had similar attitudes going way back, with the Know Nothing movement being one 19th century example.
Per www.nationaldayofprayer.org Washington, Hancock, John Adams and others--even Jefferson--did find official proclamations with Christian references proper during the revolution. Focusing on the painting seems to me like a bit of a red herring.
Yeah, it is an overloaded term and I understand it can be used in the sense you intend. Hope you understand that it is also used in the sense I was reacting to:
Israel's strong role in getting us involved in this damaging and immoral war of choice is well documented. Sorry, not willing to overlook that.
Kent's motivations may be suspect, but his explanation is consistent with reporting by NYT, WaPo and others.
OK, but do understand MoCo has fallen far behind Loudon wrt income and continues to lag. If you want to live in a quiet backwater, there are plenty of options with less traffic and crime.
New 'dense urbanist' development in Tyson's Corner. The intersections are gigantic where we are putting high density residential plus retail, and thus should have lots of foot traffic. There is a kind of schizophrenia in the development process.
Pew shows an enormous spike in border encounters after Biden assumed office. To what do you attribute that?
Accountability -- short-circuited by an executive that has given them impunity. Paramilitary.
Relation to Civilians -- in Minneapolis they don't care about community legitimacy and don't have it. Paramilitary.
Tactics -- Definitively not de-escalating or focused on rights. Also not full military. Looks to me like a very lightly armed paramilitary.
3. Use of force -- I assess ICE in Minneapolis as in a grey area between law enforcement and paramilitary
2. Authorities -- ICE is more paramilitary, not constrained by eg 4th Amendment
Formally they are law enforcement, but they no longer operate like that. Walking thru major elements (per chatgpt) 1. Core mission - on these criteria I assess ICE as paramilitary, as it operates in eg Minneapolis:
There was a time when people were jailed or killed for practicing their chosen faith. It was a hard-won liberty. Probably not a coincidence that our Bill of Rights starts with the establishment and free exercise clauses:
@moderatelymoco.bsky.social Is this responsible journalism? Video clearly shows federal agents firing into the vehicle, after which the driver was dead. I find the "agents involved" terminology irresponsible obfuscation, regardless of whether or not the shooting is ultimately found to be justified
Performative symbolism, preferably funded by federal grants. Meanwhile these SUVs get 18-20 mpg:
@actfortransit is good for local crashes. They often provide more information about crash history and road infrastructure at the crash location, and sometimes more information about crash victimes.
Freudian slip by lickspittle Mike Johnson. Even he knows we have a King problem right now in America!
Here's the pedestrian access from the trailer park to the grocery store beside it:
