damn you're telling me that sin taxes work to reduce consumption of socially harmful goods while keeping them legal and thus avoiding the problems of criminalization?

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

this is exactly why i’ve started calling myself a “public school democrat.” they took me to independence hall on a field trip in elementary school, and i latched on to the soaring, righteous propaganda, hook, line, and sinker. i bought the hype, and the imperative to make it real
Yes!!! And I think it's good actually to embrace that dream as "who we really are" and label all the horrific shit this country has done as NOT who we really are
We can acknowledge the evil while also being like "and fuck that shit, that's not our America"

If random masked men are setting fires in your community, I think you should feel free to film them. Especially if dozens of other people and several national news crews are filming them. They are not "allies," they're arsonists. Grow up.

You could do not ask for a more damming inducement of a certain subculture than this person who lives in *Michigan* scolding Stancil, who is actually in MN, for asking people to not LARP like they’re fucking antifa Jason Bourne and actually talk to media.

i feel like the footage out there must be even more explicit if they’re not even lying about him brandishing the gun at ICE
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

But the biggest indication is the way the ICE thugs react after the shots. They don't try to arrest him or secure the gun, they either back away or run away. They immediately knew it was a crime and tried to distance themselves.

I think Democrats should claim that they're going to make immigration tougher, and then simply describe a better version of system when asked about it. Polling consistently shows that the public wants to get tougher, and also that their version of tougher is *weaker than the actual system now.*

I think the thing about Will is that in the absence of an enemy he will fight with anyone online, but when presented with a real enemy, he is our most righteous warrior.
Oh, absolutely, the guy with the pepper spray kept saying things like “Try me! I’ll do it!” and I was like “I’M A LAWYER, GO FOR IT PUNK” and he ran away
I genuinely believe the thing that pisses off these goons the most is when people aren’t scared of them. Someone smiling in defiance is more infuriating to them than anything at this point.

it was nice when i job hopped twice in a year and increased my salary by 50%. eggs went up in price by like $.50/carton though so now we cant ever have that again
NEW from me:
Job growth has been functionally zero over the last five months, as the US sinks from a “low hire, low fire” labor market to a “no hire” one.
That slowdown is hitting young & low income workers the hardest 🧵

Real "oh my god, she admit it" moment here. Trump is treated as an uninteresting figure without agency so we can dump endless criticism on liberals for how they react to his "natural disaster." He "doesn't participate in moral frameworks" lmfao
