Keeping the buildings the same does not preserve a community.

When you make it illegal to build new housing at the high end of the market, rich people just buy up existing less-expensive housing and renovate it into luxury homes.

Dude I'm empathy-maxing hardcore, 6 days a week! You have a different perspective or life experience, you going through something I haven't personally gone through, I'm talking to you in real nice tones and trying HARD. I'm getting in there.

Are you saying jerks come in all colors? damn

jesus, i've seen what you've done for other people, and i want that for me

The Supreme Court tried to save him from himself, but he's too stupid to grab the life preserver.

Countries that do not use Fritos as currency could be "left behind," says Frito-Lay CEO Ken Biddleman

Surely, the press will scrutinize Trump for breaking a long standing U.S. policy the same way they did AOC saying um a few times!

Vaccines are genuine bona fide miracles, and destroying a miracle is a grave sin, yet that is what our country is dead set on doing.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

I agree except rooting out fascism at home and militarily defeating fascism abroad are quite different. We can't kill the fascists here, and they're going to continue to vote their views even if we win an election or two. So we have to continue fighting them unfortunately.

Let's be clear.

If the Constitution only applies to certain groups, you don't actually like the USA.

You are a traitor.

Stop flying that big ass flag like it has anything to do with you.

Lol I'm a normie liberal dad with a public service job. No one who isn't in your specific circles has any idea what you're talking about.

Go outside and stop pretending that the vast majority of normal people who don't share your extremely niche views are all irredeemable monsters.

LOL

Okay that makes sense. Seems like a silly rule to apply across the board, and try to enforce on a mass movement like this - and to do it in such a mysterioso and arrogant "you must trust us for we know more than you," sort of way...

I need the nation's top NEPA lawyers to stop suing to block offshore wind energy projects to protect Connecticut millionaires' water views and start suing ICE to block concentration camps. Just this once, use your powers for good.

It's all very narc-y and weird and makes me and other normie Dems want nothing to do with these people.

And if you go back to Stancil's original point that he didn't agree that protestors shouldn't talk to the press, again, they never actually explained clearly why that's the case. Other than "we're the activism experts and you must listen to us."
