Having been to Rochester, and knowing that you are a black man(I think), I find this hard to believe.

I just really like snow, the city architecture, and the terrain in upstate New York in general. We have a lot of good memories from when my wife was in school there, and like someone else said the minority community there is pretty tight - the protests in 2014/2015 really brought people together if nothing else.

Like yeah there's probably an above average chance of some racist poo poo happening but honestly that's gonna be the reality pretty much anywhere I end up in this country. Might as well be a place where I like the scenery and can be comfortable without breaking the bank.

This is a great illustration of why this administration is a counterintelligence trainwreck. Anyone who spends five minutes searching for this "doctor" online discovers all of the alien DNA and demon fighting stuff, but Trump? All he sees is someone in a lab coat saying that hydroxychloroquine is good. That's it. That's all it takes. So if you're watching this and you're a foreign intelligence service or a corporate lobbyist or whatever, that's your takeaway. All you need is a lab coat and something he wants to hear.

We've switched to saying First Nations in Canada.

Yeah, it's complicated overall and not the same in the US vs. Canada.

I'm not advocating for people to use "Indian," in the US it's better to say "Native," "Native American," "Indigenous," etc. The best is still to refer to someone by their specific tribal nation.

The point I'm trying to make is Trump using "Indian Country" isn't a Stephen Miller racist dogwhistle. He'd defend "Redskins" as a team name if he wanted to do some casual racism.

edit: one thing that really stuck with me was what a Lakota elder said when asked about the term "Indian:"

quote:

I don't care. You can call me Indian, red, redskin, skin, Native, prairie n____r. Those are all names white men gave us. They change. In a few years it will be something else. I know who I am, I'm Lakota.

I know some very traditional families who refer to themselves as "skins." ~it's complicated~

Again I'm not trying to tell people to use "Indian" it's just not really offensive to most. Clumsy or inartful, sure.

And then you get to the article: "Twin government memos show how a gung-ho federal law enforcement response to anti-racism protests may have been driven by a shaky understanding of the demonstrations’ roots."

I guess you have to go with "a shaky understanding of BLM" since it doesn't make sense for federal agencies to have economic anxiety.

I’m not sure what’s more horrifying, the fact that there are racists that high up in the FBI or that they don’t actually have much good intelligence despite being a domestic intelligence agency.

If anyone was wondering about life at the edges, I'm fortunate enough to be getting unemployment in Washington state, since I can't teach fitness in person anytime soon. That's $235/week now that the $600 is ending. Luckily, I'm now eligible for food assistance without that extra $600. So that's an extra $43 for food. A month. I really wonder why they even bother with it, because it seems like it'd cost more to adminsiter than the $11/week they pay out.

Average rent in Seattle is like $2,000. I'm fine financially, and none of that is a plea for help or anything. But as the nouveau poor, hats off to anyone who has/had to survive like that. But there's a real figure if you know anyone that thinks people are living well off the government teat.
I've lived in poverty my whole life. It is why I am just so angry that Biden is the nominee. I don't see any help coming.

They don't really need good intelligence, they can just label any BLM supporter as a "Black Identity Extremist" and lock them up anyway.

Cops are inundated every day with Cop poo poo, which is basically just stuff other cops found on facebook but they talk about it like its real. I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI was exactly the same and they believed PISSEDOFFMARINES' wall about how BLM are actually all terrorists who snuck into the country.

I saw reports on Twitter of Proud Boys snatching transgendered folks and disappearing them in Seattle during CHAZ/CHOP. I never saw a follow up on that though so I don't know if it was true. Even if it wasn't its only a matter of time.

The Democratic Party is on the wrong side of every issue I care about. Not just moderate or cautious or whatever, they are actively opposed to every change that I think needs to happen.

Yeah, the key is that Biden's campaign didn't screw up, Politico did. So like its possible Politico knows who the pick is and screwed up/leaked it. But its also certainly very plausible that they just have a thing written up for all the possible candidates so they can get it out there as quickly as possible.

there's no loving way politico knows who the pick is

if the biden campaign didn't tell them under an embargo, they'd blast it as the scoop of the year. only way they know but won't officially say is if the biden campaign gave them the info under embargo - but there is no way, none, whatsoever the biden campaign would tell anyone under an embargo days before the pick was revealed
