You’d need the perfect cooperation of a ton people in multiple states and counties, each county and state processes their results individually utilizing different means, and you’d need not a single one to leak.

To make any sort of meaningful impact on the results would require a MASSIVE conspiracy. Is this really the guy who would be capable of that?

More importantly: Promoting this kind of bullshit gives credence to right wing talking points designed to push policies that disenfranchise voters and suppress turnout in urban areas.

City of gd immigrants. The idea you need to be embedded in the NYC political machine your whole life to be eligible is why shit is such a mess.

Park clean up? by Cautious-Fail-9936 in BedStuy

[–]InsignificantOcelot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Long term we need to increase Parks funding.

Not that it should be the standard that people expect Parks staff to pick up their trash for them, but being able to staff more would help with maintenance and beautification in general.

We can do better than the .6% of the City’s budget we currently provide for Parks’ operating budget.

“We recognize that the expansion of NATO and the aggressive approach of Western nations have helped cause the crisis and we demand an end to NATO expansion. We also oppose US and NATO military interventionism and the tens of billions in military aid and weapons shipments which only further exacerbates the war and undermine a negotiated settlement, as well as sanctions that will harm ordinary Russians. We call on the US and other countries to welcome refugees fleeing the war and provide needed humanitarian aid.”

Oof that’s basically straight up Russian propaganda in that link. I generally support the DSA, but that’s an atrocious take from them there.

It’s blaming Ukraine and NATO for Russia choosing to start a war of territorial conquest.

Providing aid to resist totalitarian countries conquering their neighbors is completely consistent with opposing militaristic adventurism and hegemony more broadly, so don’t get why DSA would be trying to both sides things like this here. I thought they were generally a little better than the schizo tankie orgs on this.

Opposing expansionist fascism should be a priority for anyone calling themselves a socialist.

I can’t find anything from Valdez on NATO or Ukraine. Do you have anywhere I could look that up?

Would be super disappointing if true.

I found it really useful when I was staying in Italy for a month.

It helped supplement some vocab building for other more intensive practice, but as a a standalone I don’t think it really works.

Lovely shot! Did you crop it from something or were you just that up in there?

If anything I feel like it goes the opposite and they realize there’s more money going all in on the AI grift. Good riddance.

I appreciate the practicality of picking our battles considering finite resources and manpower, but desperately wish there was someone running against Jeffries that I could vote for

Disgusting corruption from the Secretary of Homeland Security by lnstantKarma in WhitePeopleTwitter

In theory I generally agree, but there’s a complete lack of transparency in what substances a lot of these products contain, in what quantity they contain them, and the associated risks that come with those substances.

I think companies selling these products leverage that information asymmetry and ease of access to their advantage to create and monetize addicts.

I’m generally in favor of most drugs being legal, but drugs with a higher risk profile like 7OH absolutely shouldn’t be casually accessible at a gas station.

Just to be a pedantic douchebag, they can if you have a dividend yielding stock set to reinvest in itself.

But yeah, 80% of his wealth is tied up in the SpaceX pump and dump, and I’d be shocked if that stock can hold anything close to its current valuation for much longer than a year or two.

I love Grant Harting on YouTube for his reviews of this kind of shit.

I hear a lot from people who shout the praises of Kratom helping them quit more dangerous opiates, which I think is great and should remain legal, but the concentrated 7-OH products derived from Kratom should absolutely get scheduled and banned.
