I have no idea what happens if you don’t but, next administration might be competent. I wouldn’t wanna find out under people who actually know what they’re doing.

Out with Kean🙅🏽‍♂. In with Mejia! 👍🏽

I’m certain the system would not incentivise that behaviour. I say scrap the whole MIC and figure some other shit out.

“Section 224 would require the US defence secretary to appoint an “executive agent”: a single official to coordinate military cooperation between the US and Israel.”

I could see the next congress in November still keeping these provisions if we don’t get enough progressives elected. The neoliberals love shit like this too. They’ll drag their feet on reversing it, if they reverse it at all.

Statements like these always remind me of the quote: “For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time. I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.” - Audre Lorde

IMO using the system in a way that abuses the system only perpetuates another system of abuse.

It would be nice if only east Tennessee districts had to pay for it. We know west Tennessee will foot the bill though.

Much edgy.

We’d prolly know for sure if they released the report. Ken Martin needs to be fired.

Shits been cooked for a minute now.

Maybe later, for now I have petty culturally unpopular positions that I will maintain. They are few but they are mine.

This exchange reminds me of the last boondocks episode.

Eh, I use it for very stupid people. Obviously devoid of ableist intent.

I feel as though the context matters with this. For the genuinely evil and criminally unintelligent I would use the clinical “Mentally retarded”.

“Retard” and music (low volume) on buses are the controversial hills I’m willing to die on.

Incredible, they really don’t want people looking further into those Epstein files.

This is the kinda shit they’ll point to when I ask “what has he done to help improve your life?”.

It’s my fault for trying to talk to them.

Kinda the only jobs that make sense in this kinda economy. The west seems more focused on AI while other countries actually make things.

Aslan over here reciting the deep magic.

Well, that enough internet this morning. Thanks for inspiring me to get my day started.

Hopefully soon

Did they ban him for his politics or because it’s politics?
