In a new escalation, Fox brings out the trial balloon for authoritarian Dictator Trump. “This is history. We are living — regardless of what happens in that meeting between the two dictators, what we are seeing right now, this is history.”
So did the Continental Army, 2 years after the English and it was up to each colony to decide. https://www.usnews.com/news/national/articles/2008/06/27/for-blacks-there-was-no-clear-choice In a way the English missed and opportunity to declare all slavery over in the USA, but they could not do it for 2 reasons, the south states were the most loyal to the crown, so declaring slavery illegal would have forced the southern states to fully join the rebellion, and also the Brits still had slave in the Caribbean, freeing slaves in the USA but not in the Caribbean would have created unhappy slave owners there and possible revolts.
According to article, this Fox host compares detention centers for immigrant children to summer camps. Conservatives usually like to save money. Maybe she should send her children there. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...769e4b0f0b9e9a4840c?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000618
Judd Apatow & Seth McFarlane bashing Fox's water carrying for Trump: People don’t want to deal with the fact that when you work for any part of Fox you are supporting a family which has made billions lying and manipulating our citizens for their personal financial gain. Now that includes supporting the kidnapping of children. That’s your boss. https://t.co/mCKnOeXQzX— Judd Apatow 🇺🇦 (@JuddApatow) June 19, 2018
Well, technically--"history" is properly the study of the past, and an interpretation of the records of the past, not just "what happened." I mean...if I were, say, a self-consciously pedantic graduate student and part-time adjunct professor, that would likely be my response. Carry on...
Those people who harassed Nielsen...I’m not comfortable to live in a nation where that stuff happens. I’m more uncomfortable to live in a nation where that stuff is necessary.
I want her confidence. I read somewhere today that we all need to be as confident as someone who trusts the kitchen staff at a Mexican restaurant after doing what she's done.
I mentioned ACT UP & recalled their big protest at St. Patick's Cathedral. They were protesting the Church's stance on abortion, condoms, safe sex education & homosexuality. A bunch of them went inside during mass and laid down in the aisles. Someone ripped up a communion wafer and that overshadowed the whole protest. Even ACT UP leaders thought it was unnecessarily provocative at the time. But as years passed their thoughts changed. These anti baby kidnapping protests have to be in your face. I'd be wary if I were a Trumper implementing this horrendous policy. (Wiki) "ACT UP activists now say the St. Patrick's protest changed the way many Americans viewed the Catholic Church. It was no longer untouchable, and its policies -- on everything from condoms and abortion to gay marriage and women priests -- were no longer sacrosanct." Jim Hubbard, an ACT UP member and maker of the documentary "United in Anger" about ACT UP history, said "I wasn't clear about what going inside the church would add at the time. But now I think that the shock of going inside and confronting the cardinal really worked. It helped bring ACT UP to mainstream attention. It brought the crisis to a point where the government and the mainstream media really had to start dealing with it."
There is a clear difference between civil disobedience and yelling at top officials at a restaurant. We are opening a terrible door that we may not be able to close literally for decades.
Hey, I understand. You're talking to the guy who defended Ronnie, Daddy Bush, and W. "Just because you disagree with their policies doesn't make them evil." But now we have the genuine thing. Outright evil. The rules change.
That door got blown clean tf off the hinges a year and a half ago. We (lawl) aren't opening a damn thing. People are getting yelled at in public from sea to shining sea for the crime of being a POC. I see no reason why this woman ought not face some of it for openly, proudly being part of the problem.
Dave's right in a sense, though. We DO have to be careful not to do it about things that aren't worth it. But you're right, this stuff most definitely IS worth it.
