John Brown has been on my mind a lot, truly one of the greatest Americans to live, and he aptly said after Harper’s Ferry “I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”
I bet the administration will label it far left terrorism and will use it to stamp out opposition. The shooter’s loose connection to Democratic Socialist party will be a propaganda piece to label all democrats terrorists.
It’s a ship of Theseus situation. Apparently it’s the “same” house he bought in 1953… at this point though it’s just the same property.
The massive cock slobbering that Warren Buffet got at his Woodstock of Capitalism last week was nauseating. All the media were fawning over how he’s still a small-town Nebraska bumpkin. I have to hand it to him he crafted his image perfectly as a “good billionaire” too.
If any of these protestors are immigrants then they are heroes because they are almost certainly getting deported.
Is this finally the first head to roll in this administration? It’s a shame this guy won’t see any real accountability.
Meanwhile people like Bernie and AOC are hitting up the mid-west and the southwest in his “fighting oligarchy” tour. Schumer is tone deaf to the time and a self righteous book tour ain’t the answer. Screenshot from a Bernie update a couple days ago.
Yea I get that, and explaining its usefulness will fall on deaf GOP ears, but for the record It’s not even hazardous waste…it’s the urban soils that tend to have a lot of organic carbon content from all the living shit and garbage used as backfill especially in east coast cities. Standard protocols for direct soil sampling don’t consider carbon as much as they should and also remote methods (like GPR) don’t measure total organic carbon. Not high stakes research but important to get a full picture of the soils on a building site.
She hasn’t been layed off yet but, yea, only a matter of time…
One of my close friends got her doctorate last year and recently hired as a scientist at EPA. She is improving methods of surveying urban soils using remote methods like ground penetrating radar, this helps to inform landowners/potential developers the true conditions of the soil they are building on. A shame the government doesn’t think that’s important anymore.
It is actually incredible how even the most bipartisan bills are getting axed, like the CHIP act. I always knew he loathed Obama-Biden so much he would cancel any and everything they did but, man, it’s just sad to see he doesn’t have an ounce of decency.
I don’t know what I can personally do to make effective change, but what I have done since the inauguration is to let my close friends know I’m there for them since I can’t be the only one who feels defeated.
In the past I’ve hung hundreds fliers in the street for other causes, and I might do that again. It’s old school, gets people attention, and gets me out into the street and maybe interact with people.
Any ideas for an eye-catching poster? I was thinking “OUR DEMOCRACY IS DYING, WHAT CAN WE DO?”
Dem establishment is so afraid and out of touch they think this will move the needle, maybe it will maybe it won’t, for better or for worse, all I know if further alienates me and probably other newyawkers that want to vote dem but absolutely hate every candidate that is propped up by money.
