It's hard to come up with concrete criticisms of the Democratic party as a whole.

Progressive Democrats:
wealth tax, hostility towards entrepreneurship

Dem establishment:
NIMBYism, restrictive zoning policies

Atlas D-avatars:
full federal marijuana legalization

Marijuana has had a similar effect on the African American community as alcohol on Native Americans.

Some of that was due to selective enforcement of drug laws, which I'm glad to see the current administration has taken some steps to fix.

Brandon made the right call here. Weed isn't exactly HFCS but it isn't quite fentanyl either.

Daniel Perry and Kyle Rittenhouse happened for the simple reason that BLM protests were violent protests.
 

X woman was raped because she was too promiscuous.

As expected that analogy flew 100 feet over his head.

Daniel Perry and Kyle Rittenhouse happened for the simple reason that BLM protests were violent protests.

Danny Boy and Fat Kyle were in two completely opposite situations.

Fat Kyle brought a gun to a protest/riot situation for no reason after being inflamed by online right wing trolls and waved it around before he committed his murders.

Danny Boy shot someone at a protest doing something similar to what Fat Kyle did as described above (self defense?)

By your logic if someone had blown Fat Kyle's head off, they would have been justified in doing so.

Both of them are murderers who are free because their skin color and ideology are correct for the right wing narrative. The "law and order" the GOP once claimed to care about is a dog whistle. Your leader is a felonious, immoral idiot and Abbott is a pathetic seditionist.

It has a relatively low level of college-educated voters and outside of Albuquerque/Santa Fe is pretty rural. Assuming that cultural depolarization continues, do you think it could vote for the GOP again within the next few decades?

So Alito made-up a bunch of BS excuses, and shamefully involved his own wife and neighbors.
Why am I not surprised.

Rememeber that the South Bronx is mostly latino nowadays

As I said earlier Texas is being disgusting on free speech and needs to be sued for what they are doing.

Universities banning people from speaking arabic? Isn't America supposed to be the home of freedom or something like that? Amazing.

You didn't make this argument when people were deplatformed for alleging that we were funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Key Hearing Takeaways

NIH Deputy Director and former Acting NIH Director, Dr. Lawrence Tabak, acknowledged that NIH funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China.

Dr. Lawrence Tabak repeatedly refuted EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak’s public and private testimonies. It is now clear that Dr. Daszak misled both the Select Subcommittee and the NIH on numerous occasions.

Serious shortcomings and failures in the NIH’s grant awarding and grant oversight procedures enabled EcoHealth to facilitate gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China. These NIH deficiencies were exploited by Dr. Daszak and his team in an effort to avoid oversight and maintain funding.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) decision to immediately suspend funding and commence debarment proceedings against EcoHealth is backed by substantial evidence and necessary to protect America’s national security.  

The Select Subcommittee also recommends that HHS immediately begin debarment proceedings against Dr. Peter Daszak personally.

The NIH often lacks the necessary subject matter and scientific expertise to ensure U.S. taxpayer funds are spent and overseen safely. Dr. Tabak testified to these gaps in NIH’s system today, and former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins recounted similar problems during his transcribed interview found here.

The Select Subcommittee’s investigation into EcoHealth’s impropriety is far from over. Chairman Wenstrup appreciates Dr. Tabak’s honesty today and intends to use his testimony to hold EcoHealth accountable for its facilitation of gain-of-function research and its blatant contempt for the American taxpayer.

You support Free Speech only for folks you agree with.

Time to pass the PRO Act to strengthen and enforce current laws against union busting activities.

And yet many military personnel in our nation, continue to support everything the Republicans do.
Go figure.

Last decade I noticed that the estimates gave the Hasidic towns much slower growth than what would make sense for such places, and the 2020 census corrected these estimates with much higher numbers.

Looks like the census estimates are mostly back to making the same mistakes: Lakewood and and New Square show minimal growth, and Bloomingburg shows a small decrease. The one exception is
kiryas Joel which shows very high growth, even higher than would be expected purely from high birth rates.
