“You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
Park moved to the U.S. from Seoul when he was 7 years old and had legal permanent residency under a green card.
he suffered from severe PTSD. He turned to marijuana to cope with nightmares and sensitivity to loud noises and moved to Hawaii in 1995 for a better lifestyle. But he became addicted to crack cocaine and struggled for years to get clean.
Crack led to prison led to revoked green card.
The British government said it would retain its 10.89% stake in Eutelsat, which competes with American billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink.
In a written statement to parliament, the government said its investment was driven by three factors: improving national security, boosting Britain’s role in the low Earth orbit market and strengthening the domestic space sector.
Don’t forget she’s literally a criminal.
Any bets on her being deported to Iran?
lol well it went longer than I thought it would.
You were downvoted because no one is ignoring Ukraine.
We done. Any faint hope that was left is gone with Trump 2.0. This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
The manager said volunteers are “needed” to work Tuesday through Friday this week, in two-hour shifts between 10am and 6pm in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, where the company operates a warehouse as part of its grocery delivery service, Amazon Fresh.
Sounds like they’re getting paid but I’m really hung up on the word “volunteer”. If I’m paid my regular wage and can fit it, really not a problem.
Who said “any issue that affects capitalists”? I said environmental progress, greenhouse gasses in particular, is not a winning election issue. (Again, I want it to be, but I acknowledge it’s not.) If you’re going to strawman that badly, holy cow. I’m out.
Lemmy misreads that I don’t want climate progress. I do. But I acknowledge that it’s a losing election issue (see history). But you seem to have misread in a different way which I honestly don’t even understand what you’re trying to say.
Carter said cut back and lost. Gore ran on it and lost. Hillary ran on it and lost. Biden didn’t run on it, but did it anyway and was going to lose. Harris didn’t say it, but it was clear she’d continue Biden’s policy and lost. The track record isn’t good, people don’t care about this issue. Inb4 Lemmy’s misreading, I think it’s the most important issue, but the voters don’t seem to.
What? No one’s ignoring Ukraine.
Is it? I don’t even hear anything out of the Arab states. It should but I don’t see much.
I understand, but other people lose their shit at not having that 3% and basically equate it to being 100% coal. I basically hear:“We’re still burning coal, so it was a complete and total failure! B b both sides same.”
Funny enough lots of people hate that. Lots of people have binary thinking, it’s either 100% coal or 100% solar.
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
In case anyone has any doubt what the intentions of all this are. PeterGriffinOkNotOk.jpg
