Oregon was founded as a whitetopia, literally banning black people for years. They used to have on the books public flogging for black people for every 6 months that they were a resident.

lol im not gonna defend oregon's white supremacist past but it's kind of a weak argument when you consider every state before the missouri compromise was founded on literal slavery with daily public and private floggings


in the meantime, my county just passed a law that levies taxes directly on insurance companies AND bans them from increasing rates as a result of said taxes in order to bolster income assistance for health insurance.

and it is kind of encouraging to see that howard dean is neither ignoring muslims or leftists (as long as they pay him)

quote:

Reza'i further argued that the banner of revolt raised by the Shi'i Imams, especially Ali, Hassan, and Hussein, was aimed against feudal landlords and exploiting merchant capitalists as well as against usurping Caliphs who betrayed the Nezam-i-Towhid. For Reza'i and the Mujahidin it was the duty of all muslims to continue this struggle to create a 'classless society' and destroy all forms of capitalism, despotism, and imperialism. The Mujahidin summed up their attitude towards religion in these words: 'After years of extensive study into Islamic history and Shi'i ideology, our organization has reached the firm conclusion that Islam, especially Shi'ism, will play a major role in inspiring the masses to join the revolution.

my bad, finshed reading the article

quote:

According to Country Reports on Terrorism, in 1990 the second phase of the 'ideological revolution' was announced during which all married members were ordered to divorce and remain celibate, undertaking a vow of "eternal divorce", with the exception of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. Shortly thereafter, all children (about 800) were separated from their parents and sent abroad to be adopted by members of the group in Europe or North America.

In 1994, "self-divorce" was declared as the further phase of the 'ideological revolution'. During this process all members were forced to surrender their individuality to the organization and change into "ant-like human beings", i.e. following orders by their instinct.

The High Court ruled to close several MEK compounds after investigations revealed that the organization fraudulently collected between $5 million and $10 million in social welfare benefits for children of its members sent to Europe.

howard dean being the mouthpiece for islamic communists and insurance companies at the same time is still pretty funny tho

That's a stock photo I used to fill in the grid. However, I do stand firm in my decision that two flags are the upper bounds on what is allowed because of Trump. Any more and we'd be supporting the deep state American flag manufacturing industry, which is second only to the NRA in murdering everyone.

People who start reciting the tedious "first they ignore you," spiel have a historical tendency to cut it short with the kind of sound typically made a bug being crushed under a very large and suddenly very swift and vicious foot.

There's a tendency in this narrative to skip over the "get tired of your bullshit" step before fear. We know what that step looks like, when the strained but polite facial expression drops and the claws come out. It's loving terrifying.

My son is my spirit animal. Also, his stances on the issues are an improvement on most Republican ideas. Pro nap time, pro juice, anti-diaper change, and promotes a balanced trade philosophy with our allies and imposing sanctions on those who would seek to do harm to our nation.

One of my favorite movies, period. The history of coal mining and the coal miner's union in WV is super fascinating. On a less serious note, I like how Justified touched on the strikes, sort of casting it as an actual war with veterans and wounded.

mostly why the succ stays succ is that they get morally indignant and try to shame. They shame and shame and shame, but I guess this goes for the circular firing squad

Joy Reid gets a mention especially with her twitter habits of trying to name and shame without it really getting traction

It seems to suggest that you should be guilting instead of shaming~

quote:

The shaming option berates the voter for being deplorable. The guilting option provides an opportunity for redemption.

quote:

No one was ever reformed by a lecture about how racist they are. Save the “How could anyone…”s for Twitter, and don’t underestimate the persuasive power of laying down a carefully calculated guilt trip.

I'm familiar with that area, although I went to high school further south in Salem, Washington County, so I'd cross over into Manchester and Bennington for work pretty often.

A lot of it is the extreme poverty writ on people's homes and poor road maintenance on the NY side, and then VT is like traveling through a Grandma Moses painting.

Even seemingly trivial things like the way power lines are placed in a haphazard fashion in NY makes me cringe.

quote:

Many progressive activists, led by the anti-corruption organization Rootstrikers, have taken to calling the Democratic co-sponsors the #bailoutcaucus. Nine of the twelve Democrats supporting the deregulatory measure count the financial industry as either their biggest or second-biggest donor, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission data listed by The Center for Responsive Politics.

When questioned about this correlation, and whether it would aggravate concerns that the Democrats in support of this bill are being affected by industry money, a spokesperson for Senator Tim Kaine responded, “Campaign contributions do not influence Senator Kaine’s policy positions. He supports this bill because it provides relief for small community banks and credit unions in Virginia, helps prevent further harmful consolidation in the banking industry, and strengthens consumer protections for all Americans.”

Hillary Clinton’s former running mate was not alone. Mark Warner, Kaine’s fellow senator from Virginia, is also co-sponsoring. “Campaign contributions have never influenced Senator Warner’s decision making on policy matters and never will,” his press office asserted in an email.

no one is ever going to say that someone’s campaign contribution influenced their vote because that’s actual quid pro quo corruption

then again the Supreme Court might strike down laws against even that level of blatant corruption, so who knows
