So if she’s not a terrorist and didn’t do anything criminal, that sure sounds like the officer shooting her is a criminal act.

It should. This is straight up eugenics. No one should be making genetic fitness a priority when proposing state policy.

A “generation” of students aren’t prompt engineers. And even if you learned one useless skill in your major during college, you still have the entire rest of the program. I haven’t used many of the skills I learned in college and my industry has changed extensively since then, but learning those things contributed to a larger competency.

That sucks, but we’re not a real economy if we just keep bad companies afloat because people have invested in them. We certainly don’t need to filter any aid to unfortunate retirees in need through the stock market.

Except Mitch McConnel won. His political project was incredibly successful. Schumer has just failed over and over, losing battles and rights and leading the party to their lowest favorability in decades.

Why do people keep assuming Chuck Schumer is some master tactician when literally all we’ve ever seen from him is failure after failure?

Trust the process. It’s Mueller time baby! /s

There’s a few other fascist states following Texas, so even if Texas fails CA is still necessary.

So glad we gave him everything he wanted so now we have no leverage at all. Another masterful play by Chuck Schumer.

I’m not a gun guy, but that seems incredibly reckless. Seems like there’s lots of room for human or mechanical error when you’ve got the barrel pointed at someone and you’re whacking it against a hard surface. Pretty unlikely something like that falls within firearms safety best practices.

It would only be irony if the author thought the media shouldn’t scrutinize the press secretary. Presumably most journalists believe scrutiny of the head spin doctor of the regime is actually exactly what should happen.

Jean-Pirrre also had all that spinning of genocide to weigh on her.

What a joke of a headline. The “mixed” reaction referenced is that they interviewed two residents of Puerto Rico.

And Latinos are particularly meaningless. In addition to the oft cited differences in which nation they/their family came from, there are a lot of Latinos that are just white people with Spanish last names.

Summary of the people quoted in the article about “Gen Z” protests:

• 29-year-old business consultant
• 43-year-old physician
• 65-year-old real estate agent

They’re just trying to coopt the other successful revolutions by people who are actually protesting for generational change, not just “do Boomer politics for people of means”.

From an Al Jazeera reporter:

Monica Cruz, an AJ+ reporter in Mexico City, said it was likely that the opposition was behind the protests in the Mexican capital.

“We are having a hard time believing that this is an organic protest. Especially from young people. We don’t want to say that Gen Z is a monolith. There are young people in every side of the political spectrum,” she said.

“But there’s not a lot of young people out there on the streets and we are thinking that may be a reflection or a sign that this is not really coming from the young people. Because we’ve seen protests here in Mexico City against the genocide in Palestine, for example, and we’ve seen young people by the thousands marching in the streets.”

…Why is the deadline to file for a two year term midway through the existing one?

He’s probably just from another federal agency being tasked to do immigration raids. Unless they have a very strong statement about what legitimate work they’re up to and show their face and ID, they’re all ICE.

Her 2020 campaign wasn’t actually that good. She started with the same boost of optimism and then fell apart once she started defining specifics and every other statement was walking things back. She flamed out for a reason.

I agree with your statement here though. She had all the momentum and tools to win and flubbed it through actual choices, not some inherent insurmountable challenges.

If only our opponent hadn’t made a choice detrimental to us!

Yeah, these numbers don’t really convey much without a family size and location, so they kind of just become engagement bait.

In Honolulu, a family of 4 is considered “low-income” (80% of adjusted median income) at $129k. $76k and they can qualify for housing assistance.
