What about the uproar between native Hawaiians and Nasa over observatories being built on sacred native land? It's not launch pads but Nasa has definitely pissed ppl off

Someone wasn't around right after 9/11

I'd honestly be more surprised if it wasn't Rikers

Despite what ppl tell you, prisoners are ppl. Treating murders, rapists, thieves, etc worse than they did their victims is not justice

I remember ppl claiming that Brittney Spears case would open ppls eyes about court appointed guardianship system and conservatorships. All it was was a source of entertainment

And we will all be worse off when he gets out in 5 years with ptsd from being in one of the world's most dangerous and violent prison systems. And ppl with your dumbass thinking is why the homeless and prison populations are made up of the mentally ill

I wanna know at what point America was the greatest country in the world when he said we use to be. Excluding one set of ppl America pretty much sucked for everyone else that lived here since its creation

Blackface is an American sensitivity, not Dutch

Yeah that's just not true.

Or you do what the last black president did who won 2 elections in a row and focus on groups who will ACTUALLY VOTE FOR YOU

I would agree but based off the last mid terms white voters were more likely to vote conservative. I ask you which makes more sense. Changing conservative voters minds who often go party over country? Or convincing groups who overwhelmingly vote Democrat who often don't make it to the polls to actually go vote?

More THAN HALF DONT VOTE DEMOCRAT

Considering this

As in previous elections, White voters continued to favor GOP candidates. In the 2022 midterms, 57% of White voters cast ballots for GOP candidates compared with 41% who supported Democrats.

White voters are more likely to swing conservative. You can get pissed all you want to that's just how it is. White ppl who vote Democrat are going to vote Democrat regardless of whether they're catered to.

Research shows that the last Democrat win was due to youth voters and black women. Over 50% of that "71%" ISN'T VOTING DEMOCRAT. Obama won due to the youth vote and the black vote. Biden won to youth and black women.

Also white ppl make up 57.8 percent of the population

So going after 28% of the population that statically NEVER votes for you instead of going after the 42.2% that statically don't get out and vote and the more than 50% of voters under the age of 40 makes more sense?

STOP GOING AFTER WHITE VOTERS.

Jesus Christ when are they going to learn. The last couple Democrat wins came from black and youth voters. White Americans (especially older) do not vote Democrat. You'd have an easier time teaching a dog Mandarin then flipping the Republican or nothing voter. Even with moderates Republicans they fall in line and independent conservatives are a tiny minority

Odds are they're just going to deny them or the wait for a hearing to see if they meet asylum status will be so long they'll eventually give up.

If the US really wants to hault illegal immigration (it doesn’t) it would be a better idea to help fix the issues that makes them want to come in the first place. Many of which are/were directly caused by the US. Or making receiving a temp work visa easier for migrants

That's a lot of mights and maybes. I feel the article did an ok job at leaving those out and going only off of what is known. Which is exactly what the news is suppose to be

Remember rich ppl do charity to duck paying taxes!Government social services have a much wider reach than any millionaire or billionaire and the tax money they should be receiving from the upper class could benefit millions of ppl instead of the few lucky enough to receive their "charity"

Sega's Yakuza has ruined me taking them seriously. All I can think of is them being super into Micro RC racing, karaoke that turns into full blown million dollar production music videos, or giving life advice to extrovert dominatrixs

The cunt does cunt things. Wow. So surprising

FTFY

Let's not place the blame only on DeSantis. There's a large portion of the US who would be fine with Jim Crow being a thing again. Florida voters elected him because they knew he'd do this shit

More of this please. The throwing food on art and holding up traffic isn't going to convince anyone who already denies climate change. Making private sector energy CEO's lives hell is the way to go.
