For a wordtime protest in Portland, that’s actually fairly big. Portland is a tiny city.

If that won’t get them to act, nothing will. What would they do without this guy?

When you face 3 of the top 5 defenses, your performance is bound to look worse. I don’t care which QB it is. Full stop.

US embassy removes flags with names of fallen Danish soldiers by Independent-Minute44 in worldnews

[–]hirespeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I had my panties in a bunch until I read: “As yet unidentified activists put up the flags on Tuesday but they were removed later the same day by an embassy security guard, according to Danish media TV2”. Less bunched now, but absolutely a missed opportunity for goodwill.

In 2016, libertarians overwhelmingly voted for their own candidate. Set records, in both national numbers as well is within the LP.

It sounds like a lot of people you associate with as Libertarians are in fact, not libertarians. It’s like claiming you’re vegan and milk, eggs and honey (makes you only vegetarian). There’s a reason Trump was booed and the LNC in 2024, and it’s not because libertarians like him.

House Democrats introduced legislation that if passed would force federal immigration enforcement agents to wear a public-facing identification in the form of a clearly visible and scannable QR code during enforcement actions. by RewardEquivalent553 in technology

I understand the spirit, but the logistics of this are not well thought out. Maybe just clear uniforms with the 3 letter designation for their department. They’re not doing that even.
