Both Dems and Reps support this

Even Biden wants to sign off on this right away

No, but because it's the 4th largest country by landmass of course you're going to have more craziness, it's par for the course.

It's a lot safer then it used to be though, it just seems bad because we don't censor things here compared to other countries, so everyone sees the good and the bad as opposed to just the good

I was wondering when Democrats were going to get around to their smear campaigns against progressives. Looks like they're starting early this campaign season

How can anyone on the left even associate themselves with ML when neither China nor Russia allow LGBTQ+ to exist in their countries? I don't understand ML at all

I mean, here are just a few sources

And the bigotry and racism is something else too in both countries, it's insane. There's no defense for this

No one can really call themselves a "leftist" if extreme right-wing ideologies that the neo-nazis over here follow are what they condone

They were organized and funded by NASA, not him, like everything else he just takes the credit for others work

That's called "telling the truth"

Just because you attempt to hide crimes doesn't mean people have no right to expose them, it's simply a matter of being upset someone found out

And like I said, the US doesn't even deny any of the leaks, so the only reason they want to persecute an innocent person is an overtly authoritarian show of force. If we're going to simply abandon our principles willy-nilly whenever we feel like it then we're not a democratic country

A. that's racist

B. He was born in England, and his parents are Indians from East Africa

It's racist because his values are not Indian, they come from England

It's by smallest integer to largest, what's weird about that?

12 months a year, up to 31 days a month and X number of years. It makes the most sense

Someone needs to archive the Internet Archive before we lose it

Does it really matter? Yes, it absolutely does.

Without Affirmative Action, Civil Rights would've been a write-off, schools wouldn't be diverse at all and desegregation never would've happened. Sometimes people need to be forced to do the right thing because if people were naturally good then there would be no need for government in the first place. When California banned AA, black enrollment dropped considerably and it still hasn't recovered to this day. If you think banning AA is a good thing then go put on your KKK hood, because you're no different than them in my eyes as a black person.

You can't just wait around for the good nature of people to help, because if that's what you want then you're going to be waiting for an eternity, we black folk know. We were pushed that line ever since the end of the Civil War, and it still didn't happen until 100 years later when we made noise for people to wake up.
