FWIW, the article author also wrote a book called "Freedom from Want: The Human Right to Adequate Food"

Yeah, this feels like validating a toxic business model when they should be dismantling it

The fact that Biden called for this exact same thing and Manchin was ok endorsing him but has to make a big scene when a non-white woman calls for doing the same thing basically tells you everything you need to know about Manchin

Racism is the only reason why the entire Republican party is so popular

Attacking capital is great, it's attacking capitols I have a problem with

Motion denied

It's just a Trojan horse for financially gutting public universities when we need to be getting rid of student loans altogether by using taxpayer money to support people's education

Great question tho, one people should always be asking about Republican bills

This is what we're doing

Young people have not been as enthusiastic supporters of the Biden administration [even] before President Biden was elected. So what's different about Gen Z generation in particular, who's known to be politically active, also very diverse and caring about a variety of social issues, is that when they're disappointed in what the government is doing or what the leaders are showing them, they're willing to take the issue in their own hand and try to intervene, try to get involved sometimes by speaking up by their vote.

But by and large, they have voted more than other generations have as youth, regardless of how disappointed they say they are in the government. So if the past couple of elections' trends hold, young people have been disappointed in the government and their elected leaders, but they voted.

There's a good argument to be made he was the most evil president we ever had. Between

• prolonging the Vietnam war by five years through sabotaging the negotiations while he was still just running for president
• perfecting southern strategy campaigning and organizing all the neo-Confederates we're still dealing with as a new bloc of Republicans
• founding the DEA and kicking off the war on drugs to jail and destabilize anti-war protesters and the black panthers,
• all of the cheating he did during the 1972 campaign, which the Watergate break-in was only a part of
• Cheering on the genocide of Bengalis by Pakistani generals because "muh Cold War allies!"

the roots of a ton of our modern problems go back to this paranoid alcoholic racist piece of shit

e; had to add in the Bengali genocide

I'm probably just speaking for myself, but this particular dynamic actually makes me feel better about supporting Biden. I think Joe Biden himself is a contemptible dumbass whose policy imagination is stuck in a past that never even actually existed, but I think he's had to surround himself with a lot of staffers in their 20s 30s and 40s who aren't so terminally dense on things like Israel and student loans and reproductive healthcare and labor unions, and they can actually make him evolve and be a little bit less of a boomer than he otherwise would be. Hopefully they're able to keep the pressure up.

these are vicious animals

Ah yes, the subtle but ever present dehumanization of opponents and implicit calls to violence (you don't deal with a "vicious animal" by just handing it some paperwork, right?), that's what makes this guy one of the biggest pieces of shit of all time, he is just always working at it and always finding ways to be a disrespectful piece of trash every time he opens his mouth

Can not wait to see him get a fraction of what he deserves

Welcome to the American corrections system, abuses like this and worse happen every day and we just don't normally hear about them because the defendants aren't famous like this one is

"For example, in 2019, guards force fed a Hindu man in ICE detention who went on hunger strike to protest the failure to provide vegan meals to him and other Hindus in detention."
