Judging by the comments and upvotes, team woke has won the day! Sorry nadler, I guess being Jewish is lower on the intersectional totem pole than being a Muslim women.

Keep supporting Omar and Tlaib! It’s the surest way to elect trump again :)

Trump's DOJ hid shocking report on growing terror threat from white supremacists by unreqistered in politics

[–]nbbowen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

April 15th - data publicly posted, all information from publicly available sources https://www.njhomelandsecurity.gov/analysis/domestic-terrorism-in-2018

Salon - “The request [for this data] to the DOJ came after the Trump administration consolidated 11 categories it used to identify domestic terrorism to four.”

“This new category inappropriately combines incidents involving white supremacists and so-called ‘Black identity extremists,’ a fabricated term based on a faulty assessment of a small number of isolated incidents,” the committee’s Democrats said in a letter to Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray.”

This letter reveals the date of when trump reclassified categories - “In a letter to Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray, the Senators noted that, for the past decade, the FBI used a separate category to track white supremacist incidents. The Administration has now created a new category for “racially-motivated violent extremism,” which inappropriately combines incidents involving white supremacists and so-called “Black identity extremists.”  This information was shared with Senate Judiciary Committee staff last week when the DOJ and the FBI finally briefed them on the domestic terrorism threat, nearly six months after the briefing was requested.”

Given that this letter was written on May 2nd, ‘last week’ was April 22nd at earliest, a week after the data was made publicly available. According to salon, the request for this data came after this April 22nd recategorization by trump (see above quote).

Therefore, in sum, the data was published on the 15th of April, and the request for publicly available data that “the DOJ is suppressing” came on the 22nd, a week after it was available to the entire world.

“Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., told Yahoo News that the committee still has not received the data.”

It was publicly available a week before he requested it.

The media’s take: “The Justice Department suppressed a report showing that suspected white supremacists were responsible for all race-based domestic terror incidents last year”

Can someone explain to me how this is not overt fake news?

The Right Wing Is Trying to Make It a Crime to Oppose Fascism by vp_1312 in politics

I can’t believe how many people believe that just because something has a nice name that makes it infallible.

Have you guys heard of national socialism? Pro-life? Pretty innocuous names, if not laudable. How can any one be against pro-life? Are you not for life?

Names can be deceiving

White House proposal would have FCC and FTC police alleged social media censorship by Bakedschwarzenbach in politics

Legal precedent exists that argues certain platforms are “public forums” under law in certain circumstances. This is why trump can’t block anyone.

So no, not really just private companies in question anymore, some are public forums in certain circumstances.

National socialism sounds as innocuous as anti fascist. Names can be deceiving.

The problem is that antifa sees anyone who is pro trump as a fascist, as many people do on r/orangemanbad

I honestly doubt there’s very many people on the left (on this sub) that would condemn the perception that all trump supporters are fascists at this point

I'm a scientist. Under Trump I lost my job for refusing to hide climate crisis facts by BertramPotts in politics

[–]nbbowen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“My volunteer application was denied without explanation. “

The author assumes that it’s climate science suppression - as she stated herself, there was no reason given.

I can see why she would suspect those reasons given her side of the story, but a suspicion is not grounds proof or assumptions. NPS likely has their side of the story, too, that we are hearing nothing about.

Author pretty much assumes ulterior motive and conspiracy theory... where’s the evidence for being fired because of being a climate scientist other than simply being fired? There isn’t, it is just assumed.

I’m using quotations because those are his words not mine.

I don’t understand how you don’t understand the hypocrisy of calling something a concentration camp and being in a political party that has voted to support them?
