Yeah...

That's why for 80 years it's been used as an example of why we can't appease facists...

They've been lying about this for pretty much all of modern history.

The Civil War wasn't because the North wanted to outlaw slavery in the south, it's because the south wanted the federal government to treat Black people in the North as escaped slaves and capture them to be sent to the south.

You can't negotiate with fascists for the same reason you couldnt just let Hitler have Poland, we can just let Israel have Gaza, or we can't just let have Putin have Ukraine.

It doesn't matter what they ask for now. If they ever get it then they immediately started the process again with something else. You have to draw a line somewhere to stop them

I'm convinced trump never thought past optics and didn't look at anything besides headshots.

It's 100% the guyliner

The president can order agencies to reschedule it, which makes it defacto legal in a lot of states, and means federal employees in states where it's legal can use, including military.

She should do that asap, because the fight to actually legalize is a lot harder.

I don't want to see her say it needs to be legalized and then refuse to take any step thats not the hardest

Sheep breeds that are not allowed in Montana were brought into the state as part of the conspiracy, including 43 sheep from Texas, prosecutors said.

Dude sold to "trophy hunters" and brought in animals that will outcompete and replace native species.

It's a pretty big deal ecologically, and was done for just about the worst reasons

And it wasn't even super unique sheep, it was a couple states away

Also unsure how much "cloning" went into pulling sperm off removed testicles...

In October 2019, court records said, Schubarth paid a hunting guide $400 for the testicles of a trophy-sized Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep that had been harvested in Montana and then extracted and sold the semen, court records said.

Back in the day everytime we swatted a bounce in beer pong, we screamed Mutombo as loud as possible.

Never really saw him play, but dude was just legendary. I don't think any other player has reached that level of public fame from mostly defensive play.

This is just self proclaimed labels...

So it makes sense we'd see 50% "moderate" and then around 25% for the other two:

Reality check: The youngest age group still appears to favor liberal positions on some issues as much as those ages 25 to 29, Anil Cacodcar, the student chair of the Harvard Youth Poll, noted.

In a poll earlier this year, the younger group was just as likely to say basic health insurance is a human right and government should spend more to reduce poverty.

They're still progressive on issues.

Reasons aren't excuses.

Excuses absolve guilt, reasons help us prevent it from happening again. It's a lot easier to prevent shit when you understand it

You think he responds to shit like a functional adult?

Sounds like the article is a little confused, or this is brand new stuff, which is possible.

The comments about wanting to murder people that I knew about came him and a friend filming Black people leaving a cvs and them "knowing" they were all shoplifters and wanting to kill them for it. They'd just go sit outside drug stores because of propaganda and "filming subjects".

There was also the video where he tried to jump a younger girl and when 3 black guys (his age) yelled at him not to hit a young girl. He immediately fell to the ground in a fetal position and started crying and begging, literally that was his reaction to being told not to beat a young girl.

Those two examples together showed he didn't have the same basic reactions to a situation any normal human would have. And that he can't properly identify risks.

 

India leads the world in generating plastic pollution, producing 10.2 million tons a year (9.3 million metric tons), far more than double the next big-polluting nations, Nigeria and Indonesia. China, often villainized for pollution, ranks fourth but is making tremendous strides in reducing waste, Velis said. Other top plastic polluters are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and Brazil. Those eight nations are responsible for more than half of the globe’s plastic pollution, according to the study’s data.

The United States ranks 90th in plastic pollution with more than 52,500 tons (47,600 metric tons) and the United Kingdom ranks 135th with nearly 5,100 tons (4,600 metric tons), according to the study.

 

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration last week set a hearing date to take comment on the proposed historic change in federal drug policy for Dec. 2.

The hearing date means a final decision could well come in the next administration. While it’s possible it could precede the end of President Joe Biden’s term, issuing it before Inauguration Day “would be pretty expedited,” said cannabis lawyer Brian Vicente.

 

The Democratic presidential nominee will be joined by her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in an interview with CNN anchor Dana Bash in Savannah, Georgia. The interview will air Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
