He stepped aside because he is invested in both parties. I guarantee you if he was only invested in one side, he would claim that he would be impartial.

What we really need is President Biden. This is all happening thanks to him. There’s some hope that Harris would continue his policies if elected, but there are strong rumours that some donors are supporting her with the agreement that if she wins she gets rid of Lina Khan.
What we really need is President Biden. This is all happening thanks to him.
No on both counts. Don’t give him credit for other people’s work.
He might have been the final one to sign off on them, but cabinet appointments are decided by committee and I guarantee you that the former Senator of the most corporation-friendly state of them all wasn’t the one who suggested Lina Khan OR Lauren McFerran at the NLRB.
his policies
Again, it’s not HIS policies. Stop giving the old man with 900 years of conservative policies the credit for the stellar work of young women many times as progressive and in touch with the realities of regular people as him.
I appreciate that they are made public for analysis, but there is no fucking way I’m watching those bastards stand outside, knowing they just stood there while children were being murdered.
Watch it. Be angry. Get your blood boiling. The parents and families deserve our anger at these fuck ups in uniform. Our anger will get things moving. These families need the outcry of every one of us to call these officers out and ask for their heads. Hold them accountable, and never let something like this happen again.
I think I made it quite clear that I am already angry at them and holding them accountable. All watching the video will do will make me feel awful. What does that accomplish?
I’m with you. I watched the video of the man who was trying to comply with orders from the police and the officer warned him if he did anything other than what he was being ordered, he would be shot. Then, he was given confusing orders, and was shot when he did the wrong thing. He was on his knees with his hands in plain view when the threat came. There were multiple officers with weapons drawn. The man was sobbing and begging before he was shot. I can’t unsee it. I think it’s important that people see it so others can be held accountable, but not EVERYONE has to see it.
Agree 100%. And, on top of the reason you gave for it to be important for some people to see, it’s also important to keep as a historical record. But I personally do not need to see or hear people dying or people not reacting despite knowing other people are dying to be upset about the situation or to want to hold those responsible to account.
I’ve never seen George Floyd’s murder. That did not stop me from protesting the police murdering him because… you know… they murdered him.
In August 2018, Brailsford was reinstated by the Mesa Police Department, staying for a further 42 days in what the department described as a “budget position”. The department agreed to reimburse Brailsford for medical expenses related to his post-traumatic stress disorder – the result of his shooting of Shaver and the resultant criminal trial. The reinstatement allowed Brailsford to apply for “accidental disability” experienced during the course of work. As a result, Brailsford was unanimously approved to be retired on medical grounds. Brailsford was also given a pension of $2,500 per month. The fact that Brailsford was ultimately medically retired instead of remaining fired was only revealed to the public in July 2019.
He just fucking executed him in the hallway and walked over his body, and he gets rewarded?
Yes, Daniel Shaver. It was horrible to watch. I hadn’t heard about the medical retirement or pension. I generally don’t advocate for violence, but if he came to a violent end, I would not shed any tears.

It’s also enormously biased and controlled by a single person in the US. Anything not pro-israel gets downgraded for credibility and almost everything is marked left of center.
Do you have any examples? I’m not arguing against your statements. I had found services like this to be helpful for US news. I’m interested to see how this falls short and use that information to investigate better alternatives.
“I have little doubt that given my close relationship with my brothers, at some juncture, a lawyer or many lawyers will soon try to lump me in with the allegations against Alon and Oren,” Tal reportedly wrote in an email to colleagues[....]
Or, and this makes more sense, he had little doubt because he had also engaged in illegal activity.
On X, Rowling posted a photo of Khelif and Carini. In the photo Khelif looks like she’s patting a crying Carini on the back. But that’s not what Rowling sees.
“Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better?” Rowling posted. “The smirk of a male who’s [sic] knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered.”
Of course, once Rowling learned that Khelif is not a man, she apologized…. Ha. Just kidding.
X user @YourAnonNews posted, “Imane Khelif should sue every single account and outlet saying she is trans. Assholes are putting her life at risk, it is illegal in her country to be trans. The continuance of the blatant trans lie continues unfettered on Twitter.”
Rowling responded to this with, “The idea that those objecting to a male punching a female in the name of sport are objecting because they believe Khelif to be ‘trans’ is a joke. We object because we saw a male punching a female.”
It’s interesting to combine this with trump’s “I say Kamala is not black” to conclude that in their worldview, people can’t just be free to determine what they are (which could be debated, I guess), but what is worst is that some special people think they have the right to determine what anyone else is and how to live their life based solely on their own whims. An aristocracy of buffoons.
Yes, exactly. The inconsistency is a consequence of the objective. Many people discriminate in order to gain or maintain personal power. Or to put it another way, in many situations it’s true that racist policies led to racist values, not the other way around.
Of course this situation is not only about racism. It’s about mixing together several different kinds of discrimination. But the same rules apply.
My wife really loved it. I saw the first movie with her and did not care for it. Then when my daughter was little, she had me start reading the first book to her. I thought it was really boring and my daughter must have too, because she lost interest after a few chapters. I’m not super into magical fantasy anyway, so it isn’t exactly my cup of tea, but my dad got a scholarship to a real prestigious English school which would be, I suppose, the “muggle” version of Hogwarts, and as the poor (and Jewish) kid, he got treated like utter shit by both students and teachers pretty much the whole time, so it’s what was on my mind the entire time I watched the movie and read the book. That didn’t help.
I enjoyed it when I was younger, but in the wake of Rowling coming out as a trash human, I’ve seen a lot of breakdowns of Harry Potter that highlight that it was actually never good. This YouTube video by Shaun is an extremely thorough breakdown of that stuff if anyone who liked the books read this. In hindsight, I’m shocked by how popular these books were, what with characters like Seamus Finnegan, an Irish character with a tendency to accidentally blow things up (!).
I went to a university where they filmed a bunch of Harry Potter, and whilst the classism I saw was no doubt quite different to your dad’s experience, I think there’s a common core. Big, posh institutions like that like everyone to think that they’re meritocratic, but they’re just prestige machines fueled by classism and racism.
Absolutely. In fact, that snobbery extended for him when he ended his schooling there. He decided to go to Sheffield and asked his headmaster for a recommendation and was told, “boys at this school go to Oxford or Cambridge.” He ended up getting into Sheffield eventually anyway. Fuck that guy.
I won’t pretend that its popularity is in any way proportional to its quality, but I enjoyed it and so did many others so she must have done something right. Calling a work that many people enjoy trash just sounds a bit elitist to me.
Feel free to call the author whatever you want though, at this point I’ve no respect left for her.
Breakup Divesting the Android operating system, used on about 2.5 billion devices worldwide, is one of the remedies that’s been most frequently discussed by Justice Department attorneys, according to the people. In his decision, Mehta found that Google requires device makers to sign agreements to gain access to its apps like Gmail and the Google Play Store.
