If you pack the court, the point is to then ram through laws that strengthen your position so that it’s harder for the other side to feasibly challenge it, to pack the court in the other direction. You can’t change things without exerting power, and the court is a tool of authority. You gotta use and abuse that.

I don’t think that’s true at all. There’s no way to intercept an IBCM in its terminal phase. They are incredibly fast on reentry. You have to hit it just after launch, or not at all. They are still just as dangerous as they’ve always been.
Where is AOC triangulating to, on Biden, post debate?
Yeah this is just math.
This is such a giant leap in criminalizing homelessness. Like, this has been in the works for a while, and in a lot of ways municipalities have been making homelessness de-facto illegal, but now they can just ticket or arrest people for a basic part of living, a fundamental need of continuing existence.
Isn’t the whole point of being Catholic that it’s not your job or right to debate this stuff? Stop being Protestant! Go to mass! Listen to what you’re told!
That says stuff about you, not 79F
Ok let’s not over exaggerate lol. 79F is not cold weather lol. It’s not even chilly.
That just opens you up to mocking from the other direction.
It might just be another way of entrenching the imperial beachheads. By tying critical infrastructure there, it makes it much more difficult for future government iterations to back out, or change course.
That said, it also opens up that infrastructure to massive risk if a big enough challenge comes, but I doubt the people pushing these things expect that.
It's a light fabric, it's not terrible to wear in heat, imo.
Maybe if you get a solid black one that'd be different I guess?
So, UC strike update. The university admin has been working overtime to shut down the strike via legal means, in addition to all their normal intimidation stuff. They filed not one, but two, complaints to PERB, the union regulatory body, and both were struck down. PERB even filed a complaint against the UC after the second one, due to their gross breach of union protections and norms.
So, what did they do? Decide to just strike break like a normal company? No.
They shopped around California to get a judge to rule the strike illegal, outside of the entire legal chain of how this is supposed to go, after the actual regulatory body has declared it legal, twice. And they just succeeded! A restraining order got signed, of some weird legal justification or another. Of course the crank judge signed off on this, and now our collaborator union executive board just signed off an email to pause striking. The order is to pause it until June 27th, which is coincidentally 3 days before the strike is constrained to end at, June 30th, so it's effectively a full destruction of the strike.
Fucking amazing. There's a strong wildcat strike supporting contingent already, and I can only imagine it's going to get bigger in the face of this obviously farcical judicial order. Now we're going to pressure people to try to stop being pieces of shit at the top end. Because honestly, if they let this slide, what is even the point of a union existing anymore? Like seriously!
Well, if we vote for the democrats anyway, we’re signaling to them that committing genocide won’t cost them votes. That it’s a free thing they can do as they please. Does that not seem like a dangerous precedent to establish? It erodes the very basis of their “lesser evil” to the Republicans. They should actually have to not be evil, and remember that. There has to be some sort of electoral cost to being incredibly psychopathic.
