I think the issue is that they’re packaged in a little too powerful of a package. Not that they’re appropriately priced.

President is a bigot and thinks LGBTQ is the reason couples aren’t having more babies.

Summary from article.

From NBC:

Roxie Richner, a spokesperson for El-Sayed, told NBC News on Wednesday that “Abdul is thrilled to welcome Vice President Harris to Michigan for a conversation about improving Black maternal health and bringing down healthcare costs.”

Richner added: “He looks forward to hearing directly from Black women and healthcare providers and discussing how he’ll continue that work in the Senate. There’s no better choice for Michiganders than Abdul when it comes to making healthcare more affordable, and he’s grateful Vice President Harris will join him in spreading that message.”

It’s a temporary hold where Congress gets to ask for more info. You’re right that it’s informal and Trump doesn’t need their approval anyways.

Perhaps it’s enough to make him back off before the midterms.

Kamala v Trump 2028 confirmed?

Alternative for Germany trying to use Sophie Scholl on their marketing was wild.

Two months ago they blocked an lgbtq cruise ship citing family values & moral standards.

I guess don’t visit turkey? Is there a guidebook for lgbtq?

There is no way to design a system which is immune from a leader intentionally trying to break it.

I guess don’t vote for shameless people? Explain to the voters around you that it’s a bad idea.

Ruined diet. Here’s to a better week.

They also just don’t care what happens to it. Trump trusts Russian intelligence more than any other agency he commands.

And no, the CIA failing is not a good thing. Grok making targeting decisions with satellite photos and twitter consensus would be worse for a start.

The next democrat president is going to be left at most with just satellite photos and the depleted goodwill of allies that haven’t demolished their intelligence agencies.

If liberalism is to survive, it will require that advocates restore political humility to its rightful place. Tolerance is only dangerous if humility is lacking.

Humility is lacking > Tolerance is now dangerous

The second part will never be abolished. Presidents need a way to advance national objectives while having deniability within and without.

Congress is of course failing to fucking check them on this. At best the Democrats can only send public letters expressing “severe concerns” about what they know.

How does private property help, in any way, the poor and disadvantaged?

If poor and disadvantaged have no right to private property then they’ll be worse off. The entire page is about private property.

He probably didn’t bring up mass-buying private property because it’s effect is a myth. Institutional investors only own 1-3% of private family homes. Zoning Laws (NIMBY) have a bigger effect when we can’t build houses & apartments fast enough to supply houses to meet demand.

And most egregious, it never once discusses how private property is ethical on stolen, native land. The entire US, and many other countries. (I’m not American.)

What should we do about that?

Does blocking only work for direct replies?
