The same reason he's savagely violent with women and towards LGBTQ(among many other groups). Insecurity.

"elite units normally used for counter terrorism" against school-aged protestors.

Wonder whose interests are being protected?

Beat me to it

Gotta get that data back to Russia and Israel somehow.

They don't need to court anything, plenty of Klan and their ilk inside the Republican fascismachine already.

Gotta take the heat off of Sheeran.

When the rich are asking someone else rich to be socialist you know they're feeling the heat.

Agree, it does seem pretty wide open. OKC/SAS cemented, Minn could finally get over the hump, Denver seems like it's time has passed but we'll see at least 4 solid winners. The East will be interesting; does the same NY team show up, 76ers suddenly relevant. Cleveland will have to show some staging power, and Pacers may have their groove and leading player back.I'm pessimistic about Miami having depth to do anything.

Should be good!

I only read it once and it always stuck with me. Jack London and snow, name a more iconic pair.

If you like short stories, Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stevenson wrote absolute top shelf ones.

Imagine a world where every app and website asks for and stores all kinds of information about you they don't need. It's crazy but just imagine. Birthdate, address, phone number, what kind of phone you have, what time of day you come to your nearest store, if you have anyone who regularly eats with you And whether they're a child or adult...you could do some pretty scary stuff in real or digital life with that.

Glad he made it back and hope he brings it. The east is better with a grindy indiana team.

So I assume force will be used to try to keep these people from exercising their constitutionally protected right and then when they run to fight back the UN election monitors that were not permitted to observe these elections for the first time in 20 years won't be there to document the baldly unfair and unfree elections.

Despite claiming election fraud without any proof as nauseum, don't Cheetos supporters wonder why he would then not enthusiastically encourage unbiased election monitors? No, that would require an ounce of critical thought.

Tale

The actual "coastal elites" the right wing should have put together

If they don't name it "Green Greens" they have no business in politics or business.

Says the fucking Atlantic who portrayed Columbia students protesting against genocide on their own campus as "dangerous", went along with labeling them "anti-semetic",meanwhile their editor in chief was part of the IDF: https://www.thenation.com/article/society/atlantic-magazine-student-protest-coverage/

Ffffffuck The Atlantic. To quote Sauraman through Theoden, "you have no power here".

Is it?

Just make it simpler; liability for not fact checking information and ban structurally important media from being for profit. Get too big? Congrats, you've been nationalized to serve public rather than private interest.

I've been following france somewhat over the past few weeks, encouraging to see critical mass. As always, fascists and bureaucrats only have one tool, state violence, and the public has theirs, mass movements when fear is no longer important.
