That claim is so goofy. There’s too much money to be made in NYC, even with higher taxes. Furthermore, three city is a cultural center that they absolutely want to be a part of.

If they have learned that, I also hope the memory lasts.

Latino men knew this policy position when they joined the cauc block in re-electing Trump. I’m frankly surprised they’ve swung back.

I find it the most difficult because I am trash at parrying in pretty much any game.

Via war and it’s fallout, yes. The disruption to food, safe water, shelter, medical care, etc can increase the death toll well beyond direct casualties. Those are the most immediate effects, which doesn’t take into account the extreme pollution caused by munitions or burning structures/vehicles. All this is also only considering the use of “conventional” weapons.

“You love to see it, folks!”

This is a very common theme in both successful and unsuccessful attempts at totalitarian takeovers. Essentially blaming the opposition for specific issues/events, followed by a crackdown, then a “restructuring” (for managed opposition e.g. Zimbabwe’s Tsvangirai) or completely outlawing the existence of such parties (Greece under Metaxas). I’m very concerned about the near future. If the Republicans (this is bigger than Trump) are successful in their final push for an authoritarian state, it will result in the death and suffering of billions, guaranteed.

Yes, let’s hound some foreign leech about what he knows, but not compel our domestic leeches to testify, president included.

This is about importing foreign white supremacists, not removing whites from Africa.

I guarantee those cops knew how dangerous those rabbit punches were.

It has been there since inception, before recent events. They killed pregnant women on horrific ways back in 1947, continuing into 1948’s Nakba. There is a foundational issue with the state that is beyond correction.

You’re not wrong! 🤣

I was much younger and significantly more fit!

There are always conclaves within and nearby the city that are deep red. This is often where cops live, which helps maintain the “occupying army” model of policing that dehuminizes the residents.

Sure have been. They’ve continued their genocide in both the west bank and Gaza. They are a rhodesia that gets a pass from the axis of cauc because it was a convenient way to repaint their antisemitism as good for Jewish people.

Ah! The ol’ “kill the seed before it grows” approach! There’s nothing wrong with that at all…

Guys who lash out like that are 100% looking for an excuse to assault LGBTQ+ people. I’m a straight cis guy, I’ve been approached by men and turn them down politely the same way I would a woman I wasn’t interested in, no violence. The few guys who were handsy or inappropriate were dealt with by the community, no involvement from me needed.

I wonder if you inadvertently set-up on the entrance to a ground nest, though they likely would have been aggressive if you had.

I mean, a significant amount of toyotas sold in the US have been made here for years. I can’t speak for the individual parts, but I couldn’t tell you that about traditionally “American” manufacturers either. Also, even though I currently own a Ford, they represent great value and longevity in the new and used markets.

I recently started replaying ER, and it is very frustrating when an enemie’s attacks pass through walls while my attacks click clack all day.

Voucher schools exist because christofascists found another way to gut funding from public schools and place it in private hands.
