I think the first two years of college should be free, student loans should be at 0% interest and available to anyone who needs one, we should take care of our veterans, we should have free public transportation, the post office is not a business and should not be run like one, healthcare is a right

Absolutely insane that every vote is a squeaker, and literally no one wants this bill but they don’t wanna get primaried. This bill is insane trash and will make everyone’s life worse except mine. And I don’t want the tax break. I want to pay for kids meals and Headstart with my taxes.

"The Other Side Of The #COIN: Counterinsurgency And Community Policing by Kristian Williams

"This essay outlines the current counterinsurgency model, with an emphasis on its domestic application in the United States. It shows that many contemporary counterinsurgency practices were developed by police agencies inside the U.S., and illustrates the transfer of theory, strategy, and technique from domestic police to the military- and back."

And now we are getting close to having the world‘s first trillionaire. That’s just nuts. Good for you, you won capitalism, and we all forgotten what an 80% marginal tax rate looks like? We had one under a republican president and the world did not end

If you *really* want to help the homeless, destroy capitalism.

I just wrote a rather lengthy thread attempting to alert folks to the strange yet dangerous opinion handed down today by one of the federal district courts hearing habeas petition efforts from Venezuelans detained per Trump’s Alien Enemies Act.
