Herstory Begins Now posted:At least as of a year ago, there was still positive support for having troops and bases in at least syria and iraq and kuwait and Afghanistan was hovering just under 50% support. If it's moved almost 30 points in the other direction, that's a pretty substantial shift in a relatively short period of time. I guess that bodes well for Diamond Joe then, because the most obvious reason why that would be is that people trust him to be making the right decision by making this call whereas they did not trust Trump.

This might just be the crux of the issue. I've long thought we can accomplish nothing in Afghanistan but that any withdrawal done by Trump would be done in the most disastrous way possible.

I mean...we had proof that any troop withdrawal by Trump would be done in the most disastrous way possible because he did pull out our military support in the most disastrous way possible once already. So yeah, 100% on board with waiting until we had someone other than a senile, narcissistic clown in charge.

Maybe? idk partisan stuff aside, it's really hard to make any case with Afghanistan that our presence is anything other than spending huge amounts of money to delay the inevitable. I suspect that's probably more a factor than personal trust of biden or whatever.

Vorik posted:https://twitter.com/keithellison/status/1386421950612840449?s=20 This reminds me of a CNN article from a few years ago that examined the four-year streak Buffalo, New York had without a fatal officer-involved shooting. Obviously it doesn't solve anywhere near every issue with policing in America, but simply training and encouraging cops not to shoot people has a substantial effect on shootings!

My half of the family under my mom were progressive expats, my uncle's half of the family was much earlier established in the united states and were card-carrying republicans. That side of the family was brutally self-owned out of being conservative. At some point, even as a fine upstanding suit-wearing Model Minority, you're forced to painfully realize that you can be as proper as you can and you can act perfectly and with all the decorum that conservatives expect of you, and you will wake up to find yourself still treated like absolute poo poo beneath their heels because, ultimately, the ideology is about a certain type of person and you will never be that person. (this was especially hard on them because they had undergone the same learning process in other countries)

Our mayor and police chief both are, so I'm hoping it'll be more welcoming of critiques/implementing changes... gently caress no, ppb leadership is completely irredeemable. Also once we're farther away from the immediacy of it all, what happened in portland with the police and feds waging a months long war and repeatedly getting caught collaborating with neo-nazi militias to suppress racial justice protesters is going to be a huge loving shame on the city and state . It already is, obviously, just a lot of people still seem to minimally buy into the narrative that the whole thing was in some way mutual and merited even 1/100th of the police response it got. And the portland police bureau were front and center of it all, gleefully attacking peaceful people the entire time. That's not hyperbole, either.

Portland’s police commissioner is also the mayor, and this weekend he issued a plea for citizens to report license plates of cars carrying anyone in black clothing who might be antifa. He said “it’s time to make them hurt.” So I’m not really holding my breath on police reform.

It's worth remembering that part of Frey getting in was the MPD loudly whining through the press and in many public interactions that downtown had become unsafe because they couldn't arrest, hold, and release Black Minnesotans for https://mobile.twitter.com/MplsWard3/status/1267891878801915904 I'm pessimistic that the council's efforts for reform and/or abolition would have gone anywhere, so I think Justice coming in will be beneficial compared to what would have otherwise occurred. But it's a boon to the worst people in Minneapolis politics.

Did this ever get cleared up? "On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed an executive order halting drilling permits for oil and gas operations on federal and tribal lands" There are certain Indian Tribes that derive a lot of their income from oil and gas operations on Federal and Tribal Lands and are unhappy with the Biden Administration for unilaterally deciding that the Indians can't use the resources on their land to make money. http://www.keweenawreport.com/news/indian-tribes-push-back-against-biden-administration/ article posted:On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed an executive order halting drilling permits for oil and gas operations on federal and tribal lands. That move drew a swift rebuke from the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation. They have accused the federal government of breaking their treaty with the tribe. In a letter to the acting secretary of the Department of Energy, they wrote:

This is not that far off from the reality of Craigslisting a flight to Anchorage from MikeTheHunter69 and having to meticulously weigh in so that the unavoidable chop is merely stomach-churning rather than fatal. I've met Alaskans who'd rather take the ferry than repeat doing that.
