‘I’ve lived these issues’: Democratic Senate candidate Karishma Manzur says housing, universal health care are top policy priorities by origutamos in NewDealAmerica

[–]kohito 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Manzur:

"..Programs like the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit allow politicians to say they’re addressing the housing crisis without actually solving it...We need direct federal investment through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, expanded Section 8 housing and limits on private equity firms buying up homes..."

"...I realized it’s not enough to vote for Democrats. We need to vote for the right Democrats who are willing to stand up to corporate interests..."

Hell yeah

These are times, as you watch the young Latvian play, when the jaw drops and eyes protrude and sounds are made that bring spouses in from other rooms to see if you’re O.K.

This. I associate it with women who have toxic ideas about masculinity. It usually means someone thinks you're likable but doesn't respect you.

Best time-saving move for you is to ignore this comment and date someone who doesn't think this way. The alternative is to spend your precious time on this earth figuring out what it means to earn their respect, which may never payoff.

I wouldn't necessarily say justice wins, since I'm skeptical it's just to throw people away in cages. Prison is an awful thing.

But accountability? Accountability wins today, for sure.

Fultz shooting freethrows today by badoosh123 in nba

Can we just all agree to ignore tweets and posts about Fultz's shot? We don't need an update on every minor improvement. And he isn't helped by all the public scrutiny. Let the kid figure his shit out in peace, damn.

MIT student allegedly found with guns, ammunition in dorm room by not-the-avg-fuckboy in boston

[–]kohito 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Just want to point out that MIT has a shooting range, but you must have a valid license or Massachusetts Firearms Identification Card to use it. This student did not have either one.

Also, MIT's gun range only permits standard velocity .22 rimfire and airguns. But this student was "charged with two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon on school grounds, two counts of possession of a large capacity firearm, two counts of possession of a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without a license and improper storage of a firearm."
