  • Well no, the issue is the kids being exempt from reading them as part of a lesson or from being read to during story-time. They aren’t saying the books must be physically removed.

  • The main takeaways here are:

    The justices, in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, said that in most cases, judges can only grant relief to the parties who brought a particular lawsuit and may not extend those decisions to protect other individuals without going through the process of converting a suit into a class action.

    The court did not rule on the legality of Trump’s order purporting to end birthright citizenship, although the three liberal justices said the president’s directive was clearly unlawful.

    So, the plaintiffs will need to certify as a class in order for judges to issue nationwide injunctions now. That's a pretty huge shift.

  • There’s also 1 million more people than in 1989 and (I think?) a larger portion of NYCers are registered dems now. So that’s not actually that good. We should break turnout records every year if our population grows.

  • The problem is, unlike most people realize, astroturfing is rarely sourced from shill accounts like it used to be. Nor are high-karma accounts being purchased.

    The issue is bots and shill accounts manipulate vote counts of posts/comments with certain positions. So, you don’t tell the difference, unless you find a way to track who is voting on Reddit content.

  • I don’t understand this article. Did they link to the wrong source? It doesn’t seem to be remotely connected to what the article says.

    If you’re gonna spread a message, at least use reliable sources. This article is just poorly written.

  • They aren’t consenting when you drug them. Sex workers can, and often are, raped. You don’t consent just by showing up to that party

  • If the victims aren’t children, who cares?

    Trying hard now to stick to your intent. What am I missing?

  • Most local politicians I know don’t get paid (school board, commissioners, etc) or they get paid very little for the time they put in.

    If you count up all the elected folks in the USA, less than 1% are what you think of as “politicians.” They are mostly just people you see at the grocery store

  • Who cares if adults are raped??

    Nice hill to die on bud

    The costs of restricting abortion? More than $130 billion per year.

  • Don’t break rules and you won’t have this issue lol

  • PSA: you don’t have to start every post with “I cheated on my boyfriend,” especially when it’s irrelevant to the post

  • IKEA is hit or miss with couches but if you’re set on reclining, I’m not sure they have any good ones. The Kallax is solid for a mid-range option if you don’t want reclining though.

  • I’m a millennial and I think that

  • Can you give a real life example of a community banning folks only for these identifiers and not their behavior?

  • That’s just about the opposite point of the article but ok
