The national monument will protect lands important to a dozen Native American tribes, in part, from potential uranium mining. It will also help tell the “full American story” of the people who have called the region home for millennia, Biden said during his speech.
…
But the national monument designation has already been criticized by House Republicans who have called for a probe for information on how the monument boundaries were selected and how it will affect mining and energy development. They’ve argued it will block new uranium mining at a time when the U.S. should be looking to become more energy independent, especially given the prominence of Russia in the market to provide low-enriched uranium to nuclear reactors.
Here’s an excerpt from They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45, an analysis of the causes and destructive path of Fascism before and during WWII. A high school teacher who joined the party to cover for his anti-Nazi past is talking about which Shakespeare plays he could teach:
“Tell me, Herr Hildebrandt, what about Julius Caesar?”
He smiled very, very wryly. “Julius Caesar? No… no.”
“Was it forbidden?”
“Not that I remember. But that is not the way it was. Everything was not regulated specifically, ever. It was not like that at all. Choices were left to the teacher’s discretion, within the ‘German spirit.’ That was all that was necessary; the teacher had only to be discreet. If he himself wondered at all whether anyone would object to a given book, he would be wise not to use it.
This was a much more powerful form of intimidation, you see, than any fixed list of acceptable or unacceptable writings. The way it was done was, from the point of view of the regime, remarkably clever and effective. The teacher had to make the choices and risk the consequences; this made him all the more cautious.”
“State courts are incredibly important in this moment when patients are having difficulty accessing abortion because many states have banned it entirely so patients are traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles,” Alice Wang, a Center for Reproductive Rights attorney, told reporters after arguing providers’ case in a courtroom in the Kansas City area.
isn’t it fun to think that ANYONE could decide to do this at ANY TIME? Literally all that’s keeping you from being crushed is people constantly deciding specifically not to do so.
God i am so glad i decided to stop using cars unless strictly necessary.
If you live in a city where it is possible to live without a car, a smaller percentage of the population drives, thus you don’t have to be around as many drivers per capita, so the chances of encountering someone like this are lower.
The point is that by staying off the roads i put as much distance as possible between me and cars, which makes it very unlikely for me to be hit by one.
Look up the statistics, cars are one of the leading causes of death in the US and certainly not a small cause worldwide.
That explains it. In places where they use feet, but the bike lane only gets like one, maybe two of them tops, and that’s assuming there’s a bike lane in the first place and that there’s any enforcement when a car just parks right in it.

I don’t know about everyone else, but attempting murder isn’t something I have to talk myself down from on a constant basis. Might want to see a therapist.
You must be fun at parties. No duh it’s evidence. It’s cut and dry evidence of conspiracy, so compelling that it’s almost like he metaphorically killed someone and is standing over their dead body with a smoking gun. You didn’t see the gunshot, but you can be 99% sure of who the shooter was.
As an outsider (and someone with this name situation), I’m morbidly curious about what happens when a kid has a name that’s the opposite gender as them, either because it’s a gender neutral name in their culture, or because their parents just named them like that? Because I have a sneaking suspicion they’re suddenly going to be fine with ‘unapproved nicknames’ when their alternative is calling a boy Vyvian or a girl Terrance
They would be under surveillance if they were protesting oil or trying to form a union.
Instead they are just being allowed to use fear and intimidation to undermine the freedoms some immigrants will experience in America. Strange that law enforcement seems to be ignoring the rival gang in its entirety.
