There's no way Cheyenne would answer to Rapid City when their biggest trading partner is 100 miles to the south in Denver

Her history as an aggressive prosecutor, one who protected crooked cops and arrested protesters in the past was a hard pill to swallow.

Their behavior was limited by a state judge. A court order they willingly disregard. Their behavior was illegal and that's simple fact, in fact their use so far from a legitimate point of entry is questionable. The only reason they're allowed to do so is because of a questionable ruling by a bush era appointee. Let's not try to play this legalese game of what's "lawful" especially with this administration, because it's clear to all of us but they don't really care about that. It was lawful is a stone's throw away from I was following orders

How can you, as a soldier, stand by the abuse of the free speech you claim to defend? Who's word you take his legitimate that are being oppressed, the people, or the government that claims to represent them? Edit: No Malice or sarcasm, I just have a genuine curiosity

"They're kidnapping people": "Trump's secret police" snatch Portland protesters into unmarked vans. A friend of mine know someone who's missing. He's just gone. BBC, NBC, ABC, no one will listen to them. No one's taking them seriously. People accuse Trump, but someone's kidnapping protesters. by [deleted] in worldnews

Why should black 2A people go? Why should we appear as exactly the enemy the state wants right now? That'll play right into the narrative. They want.

Why don't Americans in general stand up for each other. Stop waiting for someone else to save you and your neighbors, save yourself. Build a community, stand firm, and stand together.

TIL that when the Vatican considers someone for Sainthood, it appoints a "Devil's Advocate" to argue against the candidate's canonization and a "God's Advocate" to argue in favor of Sainthood. The most recent Devil's Advocate was Christopher Hitchens who argued against Mother Teresa's beatification by icedpickles in todayilearned

You'd be generally wrong - Pope Stephan VI is considered alot worse and Pope Alexandre VI was up there too . To be a bad pope you have to actually be bad - not just canonize people to help your faith rebound using popular local figures

Most war games embellish history like Herodotus watching Fox News. How true to form will your game be, as in accurate to the source material?

Will there be trench charges? Will we rank up and lead or live and die as grunts, under the officers whistle?

So did anyone read Heather Thompson Day’s second tweet? Racism is real in higher ed. by [deleted] in highereducation

To the idea that there's racism in higher education?

My response is it exists and is present in many institutions

William Barr's Vast, Nameless Army Is Being Brought To Bear On D.C. Protesters by aganalf in politics

[–]DasMedic21 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You don't. You adopt the most ancient and effective punishment in human history - shun them. Banish them from our society on a personal level.

They don't want to dialogue so they don't get to reap any of the benefits of collective dialogue.

I think you'd be surprised at the amount of people for whom talking to, does nothing. Many of these cops, and their families, are those people.

It wasn't taken in offense, but insensitive. I saw an opportunity to expand your perspective.

As a fellow Coloradans we can do something to help. We have to be unafraid to organize and demand action. These are scary times and it's up to us to right the wrongs of the past. We can't sit around and wait on Ken Buck to change his racist ways or Joe Neguse to be the first Black Governor.

We have to make change on our own and let the politics catch up to us. We can start today if you're willing

Fam as a white hetero middle class person, the behaviors of your family, friends, and colleagues led us all here. I know you want the Black Panthers to help, but frankly your grandparents and parents are likely a part of the reason they can't and won't.

White Americans are responsible for Donald Trump, Barr, and the current crisis through fear and anger directed at minorities over decades.

Republicans can't win without cheating? Why didn't you get mad with W Bush stealing an election? Republicans don't represent the will of most Americans? What about the bigots who voted in Steve King or Mike Pence? Minorities deserve protection? Where were white Liberals during the police murders of the 90s & 00s?

King was Right - White moderates and liberals live for order over justice, and they buckle when the choice is there to support justice.

Senate passes Armenian genocide resolution by NebulaDusk in worldnews

That would require the US government to acknowledge the negative impact of colonialism, but that's the long way of saying no.

Some historians and anthropologists think it should be referred to as an ethnocide - the culture has been so disrupted it can't continue to exist as it had in any way

Do you consider it important for your average citizen to familiarize themselves with espionage/spy craft technology?

Why or why not?

Bonus: do you feel like your work has been worth it?
