Without civil rights there is no equity or social justice. It isn’t just about getting married. It’s about getting fired for being out. It’s about being denied housing for being out. It’s about being jailed for sodomy or dragged behind a truck until you are dead.

More like it illustrates environmental policy. Pretty sure that is the Oak Street Beach curve on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. The curve has needed rebuilding to accommodate changes to water levels for many years. A $3.4 billion rebuild of that whole section of the lakefront that will add more land between the building and the lake has been going through an agonizingly slow approval process. When it finally gets done it will add more park space providing ample room for bike traffic as well as car traffic.

I work with a guy in his 70s who has gotten his credit card or bank card info stolen at least 5 times in the last year. He simply doesn’t have the digital education to identify a spam email or a scam call from a real one. It’s all just too overwhelming for him.

Except both those issues were wedge issues chosen by Republicans to gain votes from the religious. Those weren’t major platforms for Democrats until Republicans forced the issues.

The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice.

Those victories are very much NOT symbolic to gay people and women. They are very real and very crucial to their welfare.

Ah yes, Ronald Reagan, staunch proponent of a right to abortion and gay marriage.

You’ve probably already tried this, but TrizULTRA + Keto flush worked wonders for my dogs persistent ear itching.

Just squirt in a bunch of the liquid, massage behind the ear for 30 seconds, let your cat shake its head, then wipe the ear with a clean soft towel. Do that daily for a week and it hopefully will make a big difference. Then you can do the rinse weekly or even monthly after that to maintain.

Depends on the group. Iroquois houses were communal but Pueblo were more like townhomes. Other groups, like the Mississippian culture built individual homes.

Drug dealers everywhere rejoice since they can inflate their prices without as much legal competition.

I would bet good money that she banged a guy in his 30s when she was 15 and she is REALLY invested in maintaining the personal illusion that she wasn’t victimized.

Because they built houses. It’s not like white people invented the idea of home ownership.

The Pueblo, Iroquois, and other non-nomadic Native American groups might disagree about the colonialism part.

There is no government that is not the “lesser evil”. That is why it exists in the first place.

Fuck you Dick Durbin you backstabbing coward.

Anyone with special dietary restrictions needs to get used to looking up the menu before they go anywhere.

Thou shall not despoil the Earth.

Also authoritarians can’t stand any challenge to their absolute authority.

As a geologist from Illinois, I wish we had some Igneous granite. In my field camp we cored 500 feet of glacial loess.

What is in the sandwich determines if you cut it diagonally. Tuna/chicken/egg salad sandwiches shouldn’t be cut diagonally because everything falls out.

It’s one way to get universal healthcare I suppose.

Sure but we would have to be in control of the government to do that.
